FEATURE: IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT
OVER TWO-THIRDS OF RESPONDENTS BELIEVE AI WILL STRENGTHEN THEIR DEFENCES.
Complexity is the enemy of security
Whether it’ s hybrid working, multi-cloud setups, or distributed systems, organisations today are managing far more complex systems than ever before. Nearly
64 % of those surveyed identified managing access and credentials across systems as a major concern.
With hundreds of apps and users involved, it’ s easy for issues to be overlooked: inactive accounts, overlypermitted roles, shadow access. Each poses a ticking time bomb. Okta’ s role here is to simplify. Its platform automates the entire access lifecycle, applies consistent rules everywhere, and helps organisations clean up the sprawl before it becomes a serious risk.
Security isn’ t just a tech problem – it’ s a trust issue
The pressure on CISOs extends beyond hackers. Boards, regulators, and even customers now demand greater transparency and proof that security measures are not only implemented but also actively effective.
