Managing digital identities carries serious consequences for enterprises: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unmonitored third-party credentials can leave an unsecured route for hackers to infiltrate your network. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/iam-solves-onboarding-offboarding-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Onboarding and offboarding<\/a> employees have become more complicated with the need to provide or revoke the correct privileges immediately. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inappropriate access can threaten the integrity of your proprietary data and assets via accidental or deliberate insider threats. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/privileged-access-management-identity-hygiene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Privileged users\u2019<\/a> credentials can jeopardize your entire IT environment if they have unnecessary access or if their credentials are stolen. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Weak <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/identity-management\/passwords-traditional-access-management-dead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passwords<\/a> or weak authentication protocols can lay out the welcome mat for threat actors. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The major takeaway is this: your enterprise needs an identity and access management solution.
