A survey conducted by CyberRisk Alliance in January 2024 reveals that many IT security professionals are dissatisfied with the current levels of protection against unauthorized access, including governance issues. 74% of respondents were more concerned than a year ago, and only 27% were confident that their organizations provide users with the minimum necessary access.
The survey respondents who expressed high confidence shared several best practices for IAM implementation. These include creating a clear roadmap, involving stakeholders, addressing governance alignment, over-communicating changes, exercising patience, and convincing management of IAM’s critical importance. They also emphasized the need for partnerships with IAM providers and rigorous enforcement of the least privilege principle.
Furthermore, organizations with higher confidence in their IAM capabilities adopt advanced tools and methodologies like AI and machine learning analytics, automation, and zero trust architecture. These tools are less common among those less confident in managing access appropriately. The guidance from experienced IAM professionals underscores the need for strategic planning, user education, and the integration of advanced technologies to enhance IAM effectiveness.
