As organizations move more applications and operations to the cloud, it’s critical to secure access to those resources—and to do so in a way that provides the capabilities and flexibility to proceed to the cloud on your terms and at your own pace. That’s why you need identity and access management that provides reliable performance, flexible choices and adaptive authentication to support your organization’s cloud journey. Here’s what to look for as you consider authentication and other IAM capabilities in the cloud.Translated
You need authentication that works all the time, every time, to keep people connected and productive in the cloud. That means technology with documented high availability, and more ways to stay connected—including having options for other ways to stay connected to the cloud if internet connectivity is disrupted.Translated
Today, your organization’s workforce is connecting from many places beyond the traditional secure network perimeter, using a variety of devices and platforms. You want to make it equally easy to authenticate whether someone is using a corporate-issued laptop or personal device. And you want a broad range of modern authentication methods available to accommodate both the organization’s and the user’s preferences and circumstances.Translated
Securing resources while making them easy for users to access is as important in the cloud as it is anywhere. Be sure you have a way to lower the bar when access risk is low, and raise it when a user or device poses a higher risk. Look for multifactor authentication that adapts based on risk, stepping up to another factor of authentication only if behavior analytics and other advanced capabilities indicate the risk warrants it.Translated
