Building resilience with IAM: Unifying access, risk, and compliance

Identity access management (IAM) is essential to ensuring the right people have access to your data. See how to integrate IAM with your GRC frameworks.

Building resilience with IAM: Unifying access, risk, and compliance

Description

In today’s digital landscape, organizations face increasing pressure to manage who has access to what information, when, and why. With the rise of AI, this task has become even more complex, as AI systems generate and process data in ways that are harder to track, making it difficult to control where sensitive information is going and who has access to it. Strong identity and access management (IAM) ensures that only the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right time, minimizing the risk of security breaches, data leaks, and unauthorized access.
But IAM’s role doesn’t stop at securing access. When integrated with GRC frameworks, IAM helps organizations build resilience by enabling proactive risk management and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
This session will explore how IAM strengthens resilience by providing secure access to organizational systems while reducing risk and ensuring compliance. We’ll discuss how IAM systems help manage access in dynamic environments, adapt to evolving threats, and ensure that access to sensitive data is always controlled.
