Market Dynamics
Introduction
Identity and access management is referred to as a system that acts as a framework for businesses that simplifies the overall management of electronic identities. The technology can be used to record, capture, manage, and initiate user identities and their respective permissions in a manner that is automated. IAM offers customers benefits such as enhancing security profiles, increasing productivity, allowing easy access, improving user experience, and lowering the overall IT cost.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the identity and access management industry. The internet ecosystem has been playing a major role across the world, thus boosting the market growth, amid the pandemic. Due to the pandemic, the dependency on online businesses has increased substantially, thus augmenting the demand for identity and access management.
Market Drivers
- Rising Cybersecurity Threats: Growing incidences of cyber threats and scams are a keystone to the identity and access management market. Currently, more organizations are undergoing the process of digitalization and this exposes them to various risks such as data leakage and identity theft. The boosting capability and intelligence of hackers using AI and machine learning to attack the business have forced companies to use identity and access management (IAM) solutions to protect their critical data and business continuity. Increased awareness regarding cyber threats among both individuals and vendors has been elemental in reducing the number of reported identity theft cases in major countries like the US. According to the FBI, the number of reported identity theft cases in the US has dropped by ~60% between 2021 and 2023.
- Growing Adoption of Cloud Computing: The advancement towards cloud solutions has brought a major impact on the IAM market. Businesses are shifting their operations online, and thus require solid access solutions for working outside the office and using multifactor authentication. Cloud IAM systems are flexible and can be scaled since they are considered as services making them suitable for organizations that intend to improve their security but also have a remote working structure. Most companies currently consider the cloud as a technology platform. Gartner expects that >70% of enterprises will leverage industry cloud platforms to accelerate their business plans by 2027.
- Regulatory Compliance: The increasing compliance needs of firms concerning data security and privacy have forced firms to opt for IAM solutions. The use of standards like GDPR and HIPAA requires effective identification procedures that will limit the access to sensitive information to those personnel who are allowed to access it. Such a tendency is especially pronounced in such industries as healthcare and financial services where the regulators are especially strict.
- Technological Advancements: The global identity and access management market is growing due to the advent of biometric authentication, AI, and machine learning in IAM technologies. They improve the solutions of IAM since they offer improved techniques in the user identification process, user monitorization and detection of extraneous activities. With the specific use of IAM solutions, organizations have a way of implementing protection mechanisms that are dynamic and capable of learning from emergent threats and even the dynamic behaviors of the users.
- Rise of Remote Work and BYOD Policies: The use of work-from-home arrangements and the implementation of BYOD policies have made IAM solutions that can effectively handle access from remote locations and any device. IAM systems assist in supporting the security policies of an organization, identify and verify users at a more distant level and maintain the security of the information in various nodes, which eliminates the negative impact of remote work.
