5 Signs You Need to Upgrade Your Legacy IAM

*Disclaimer: This article originally appeared in SecurityWeek

It’s National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!

Did you know October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM)? This annual awareness campaign was developed by the Department of Homeland Security to educate and raise awareness about cybersecurity. Each week of NCSAM has a different theme, and this week’s theme is Every Day Steps Towards Online Safety with Stop.Think.Connect.™
