Complexity
Organizations will experience complex challenges when ensuring security and accessibility to different applications. With an ever-evolving technological landscape, where users and employees struggle with password fatigue, IT teams must balance protecting customer data with providing secure, simple employee access.
Cost
When budgets are tight, every investment must show a strong ROI. Yet, ROI can be difficult to calculate when it comes to security tools, access control, and user authentication within the IT stack. Often, IT personnel opt for the most cost-effective solution instead of exploring options that may better optimize the user experience and ensure security.
Pressure
IT faces constant pressure to reduce potential security risks. The primary line of defense is ensuring users utilize strong sign-on credentials while not reusing passwords. However, an increasing number of web and mobile applications do not integrate or allow for security features like two-factor authentication.
