Stop, drop, and learn đź§
AI tools are flooding into the enterprise. App sprawl is accelerating, and identity security is falling behind.
Most teams believe they’re managing 30 to 40 apps. In reality, it’s closer to 600 and about 170 of those are AI-based. Roughly 70 to 80 percent of those applications aren’t properly governed resulting in a growing business risk.
At the same time, investment in GenAI is skyrocketing.
Organizations are putting real dollars behind AI-driven tools and automation but with every new model and system introduced, the identity challenge multiplies. Without modern identity governance, enterprises risk losing control over who and what has access to critical systems and data.
It’s about scaling and securing smarter.
