1.
Interoperability and app sprawl
As enterprises move towards adopting an Access Management strategy, they need the system to integrate with diverse assets, including legacy applications, SaaS, PaaS, and third-party tools. These systems or services can pose management challenges essentially, compatibility issues so security teams must ensure Access Management systems meet their requirements before implementation.
2.
Shifting user population
In any enterprise, resource and user counts fluctuate regularly. When an employee joins or leaves, their access rights must be promptly revoked to mitigate security risks. Also, when users change roles, their permissions should be adjusted according to their new job responsibilities.
3.
Data security and threat detection
Data security is vital for Access Management, whether data is stored on-premises or in the cloud. Administrators must choose effective strategies to protect against malicious attacks, including strong access control, cryptography, data minimization, data obfuscation, and monitoring.
While access control and encryption are standard practices, data minimization and obfuscation are essential for reducing risk and ensuring compliance with regulations like GDPR.
