IAM for B2E

Can Your Employees Login to Your Systems Simply and Securely?

Your employees need access to several applications in order to do their jobs, but this can be risky. Stolen employee passwords are responsible for 90% of cyberattacks. Stolen employee credentials cost businesses $2 trillion in 2019. This is exactly why businesses have begun turning to Identity and Access Management (IAM) practices to keep their employee data safe.

How to provide seamless and secure login experiences.

There are three essential steps you need to take to give your employees a secure and simple login experience.

Step One: Leverage New Technology

Provide your employees with Single Sign-On (SSO) access and a modern identity corroboration experience. An employee’s login experience should be consistent across all of your applications, whether on-premises, SaaS, or in a different cloud environment. Even legacy applications can be integrated into modern SSO solutions without needing to modify the application, keeping the experience consistent and seamless for the user.

 

Step Two: Create Thoughtful Architecture

Risk-based authentication has been around for many years, but the shortcut most organizations have taken is the “moat and castle wall” approach. The strategy is to put all the defenses outside the castle regardless of the requested activity. The unintended consequence is that this gives your employees a high friction experience when it may not be needed. If you focus on an architecture that matches friction with risk, you will create the best  user experience without compromising security.

 

Step Three: Use an Adaptive Approach

When you combine the latest technology with thoughtful architecture you can implement the authentication and authorization policies that make sense for your organization. Once the right IAM technology is in place the opportunity opens to gain a deeper understanding of user behavior. This allows your IAM B2E implementation to seamlessly maintain a best-in-breed user experience while delivering the best security available.

$3.5 Million Savings Over 3 Years

There’s a lot on the line if you choose to ignore IAM. Not only is security and productivity on the line, but your company may be leaving money on the table too.

A study by Gartner demonstrated that a company with 10,000 employees can attain ROI of nearly 300% and savings of $3.5 million over three years by implementing IAM tactics.

There are even more numbers—like a case study of a company with 6,500 employees. They found employees spent less time trying to access applications, resulting in an annual productivity increase of more than $100k. Help desk tickets for password resets and lost URLs also decreased, leading to $45k in yearly IT savings.
