Identity Crisis: The Hilarious Struggle of Managing 14,000 Apps and Counting!
Identity governance and administration apps are in the spotlight as enterprises juggle a deluge of software-as-a-service tools. With an estimated mean of 1,100 apps per organization, the struggle is real. Innovators are swooping in to simplify app integration, making identity security the hottest ticket in tech town.
Hot Take:
Identity governance and administration apps are like the Swiss Army knives of the cybersecurity world: everyone knows they need one, but the more tools they add, the harder it is to figure out how to actually use them. With a whopping 1,100 apps on average per organization, it’s no wonder identity teams are feeling more overwhelmed than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. But don’t worry, they’re not alone. The vendor ecosystem is swooping in like a group of enthusiastic cheerleaders, offering solutions to save the day (and maybe a few headaches).
Key Points:
- Organizations are drowning in a sea of 1,100 apps on average, with some giants juggling up to 14,000.
- Only 54% of apps are adequately integrated with Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).
- The “disconnected app” problem arises when apps don’t support modern identity standards.
- Vendors are racing to offer solutions for better IGA integration and app management.
- Systems integrators still play a crucial role when out-of-the-box solutions fall short.
