IDENTITY HYGIENE LEADERSHIP

Continuous Discovery is the new ISPM standard

With identity data as the greatest attack vector, Gartner® recommends that IAM leaders create a practice of continuous discoverability to visualize and successfully remediate risk.

GARTNER INSIGHTS

Boost identity data hygiene to shrink attack surface

Contrary to the conventional approach of conducting one-time identity hygiene assessments, this report outlines why Gartner® recommends creating a practice of continuous discoverability to mitigate risk and strengthen security posture.

Our key takeaways:

  • The dispersed nature of IAM limits an organization’s ability to see and remediate risk
  • Bad actors often breach security defenses via stand-alone credentials
  • Despite years of IAM investments, most organizations have severe identity hygiene problems
  • Identity assets change rapidly, making continuous risk discovery a non-negotiable
