Businesses find identity and access management (IAM) and privileged access management (PAM) security disciplines difficult yet un-concerning.

The results infer that IAM- and PAM-related security tasks may be deprioritized or neglected, potentially exposing organizations to data breaches and other cyber risks. Conducted at RSA Conference in early March 2019, One Identity’s study polled 200 conference attendees on their biggest security challenges and concerns, as well as their workplace behaviors related to network and system access.

Among the survey’s most significant findings are that one-third of respondents say PAM is the most difficult operational task, and only 16-percent of respondents cite implementing adequate IAM practices as a top-three concern when it comes to securing the cloud. Meanwhile, only 14-percent of survey respondents say better employee access control would have a significant impact on their business’s cybersecurity.
