The demand for Identity and Access Management (IAM) services in the global business landscape is accelerating due to digital transformation trends, the importance of data protection, and the complexities of managing IT environments. The need for effective IAM solutions has intensified with the implementation of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, cloud-based services, and the ongoing cyber threats.

To address the shortage of in-house IAM expertise, companies are adopting external IAM services. This allows organizations to reduce CAPEX and OPEX associated with maintaining an internal IAM team while ensuring efficient and secure management of digital identities. Additionally, as governments worldwide enforce stricter data protection and security regulations, enterprises face pressure to comply with these regulations and adhere to localized data privacy laws. Examples include Europe’s GDPR, California’s CCPA, and Brazil’s LGPD, reflecting the evolving regulatory landscape. Consequently, global enterprises are seeking providers capable of delivering sophisticated, adaptable, and globally compliant IAM services. Key areas of interest include user authentication and authorization, centralized IAM operations, integration of IT/OT IAM services, and regulatory compliance assessments.
