As organizations continue their migration to the cloud, for many this now includes their Active Directory (AD). For example, in the education space there’s been a recent push by Microsoft for school districts utilizing Office 365 to adopt Microsoft InTune, a mobile device management platform for K12 education. However, InTune only works with Microsoft Azure AD, thus, requiring a shift from an on-premise AD model to SaaS-based Microsoft Azure AD.

It was another great year for Identity Automation at Gartner’s Identity and Access Management Summit. Gartner is the world’s leading research and advisory company, and attendees included trailblazers, thought leaders, and industry experts pushing the bounds of Identity and Access Management (IAM). Key members of our team put their cards on the table in sunny Las Vegas and had some serious conversations with representatives from varied backgrounds and industries.

As recently as five years ago, establishing strong network controls and ensuring a defense-in-depth posture was enough to minimize the risk of a cyber-attack and keep the bad actors out of your network. However, times have changed, and the delineation of organizational perimeters has blurred between on-premise and cloud-based resources as more and more users need remote access to resources and accounts.

Access Management (AM) is a critical area in any cybersecurity strategy that refers to how identities are applied to the data and resources in an organization’s environment, ensuring users have the correct access to the appropriate systems, resources, and applications.
