Enterprise attack surface expansion has become a focal point for IT security teams. The relentless pursuit of securing every endpoint and countering new threats with the latest technology is not just costly; it's also unsustainable. Despite these efforts, breaches continue to occur, often through new or unorthodox attack vectors that bypass traditional perimeter defenses.

In today's digital battleground, it seems like a week doesn’t go by where we don’t hear about some kind of data breach involving identity security. It's easy to become desensitized to the constant stream of identity security compromises. Yet, beneath the surface, a silent war is waged against the very essence of our online identities. Each breach is a battle fought on the front lines of cybersecurity.

Risk. It’s more than just an infuriating board game from your childhood. And when identity risk is involved in your cybersecurity landscape – and it will be involved, since identity is one of the most easily accessible and most frequently attacked facets of your IT environment – the potential consequences of its compromise extend well beyond losing control of a fantasy continent on a game board.

In a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations across all industries and sizes face an ever-growing array of sophisticated threats. Privileged accounts, in particular, have become prime targets for hackers, with nearly every major breach in recent years involving unauthorized access.

Delegation: Sharing Responsibility.

If you've listened to software vendors in the identity space lately, you will have noticed that "unified" has quickly become the buzzword that everyone is adopting to describe their portfolio. And this is great! Unified identity has some amazing benefits! However (there is always a however, right?) not every "unified" "identity" "security" "platform" is made equal.

The SAP GRC (Governance, Risk Management and Compliance) Framework is a collection of enterprise software applications that help organizations control access and prevent fraud across the enterprise. At the same time, they can minimize the time and cost of compliance with internal and external regulations. The SAP GRC framework comprises the SAP Access Control and SAP Cloud Identity Access Governance solutions.

The cloud stands as a revolutionary force, redefining the way businesses operate, collaborate and innovate. Its scalability, flexibility and accessibility have transformed industries, offering a wealth of opportunities for organizations of all sizes. However, with these advancements come significant security concerns, particularly in managing access to sensitive data and critical systems.
