Identity is a key issue that must be addressed. Indeed, recent data breaches like SolarWinds involved compromised identities to obtain unauthorized access to business-critical information.

With the increase in cloud adoption, enterprises must find ways to manage, control and defend identities — all without slowing innovation and growth. The question organizations need to be asking is not ”is my cloud secure?,” but rather “am I using the cloud securely?” or ”do I know who has access to the data in the cloud?” Consequently, organizations need to effectively and efficiently manage access to data and systems scattered across networks and beyond. Also, at the same time, support business goals and operations and ensure security and regulatory requirements are addressed.

Microsoft, EY, and SailPoint* together can help organizations solve your identity and access management (IAM) issues. The strength of industry-leading SailPoint Identity Governance combined with industry-leading Microsoft Azure Access Management capability, delivered by a diverse team of EY’s integrators with extensive knowledge in both solutions, could help organizations to improve security and productivity as well as reduce risks.
