The rapid shift to remote working has created newfound challenges for organizations when it comes to digitizing their operations. One major hurdle is managing employees’ digital identities. So much so, that the vast majority of organizations (84%) report experiencing some form of identity-related breach within the past 12 months, which is undoubtedly a huge security risk.

In this article we will examine some of the measures organizations can put in place to ensure the security of their digital infrastructure and regain control over employees’ digital identities.
