Final thoughts

In the age of digital transformation, it’s time to take a holistic approach. It isn’t enough to authenticate just
your users, businesses need to authenticate all their identities – whether its their systems, machines, etc.
– and ensure trusted and secure interactions among them. You also need to consider the long-term
impact of the IAM solutions you’re selecting. Solutions that are automated and user-centric will simplify
identity management for both your IT team and your employees, so you can ensure end-to-end security.
