Identity and security technologies have evolved to address the user journey to data in a linear fashion – with many enterprises stopping at low hanging fruit solutions such as authentication and network solutions. But enterprises are struggling to evaluate and control access beyond authentication and the network perimeter.

While enterprises attempt to independently build access control capabilities, or rely on limited native controls with existing solutions, Authorization is siloed across tools and solutions making enforcement inconsistent and difficult to manage at scale. In addition, existing access controls are incapable of applying identity-first security to access down to the data layer, nor are contextual signals applied to access decisions post-login – thus preventing Zero Trust from being applied to the most valuable resource, in real time.
