Lately, the digital identities of users have evolved into playing a significant role in specifying how users interact with computer networks, thus making the IAM programs more and more complex.

Identity and Access Management has become one of the most celebrated, and at the same time, dreaded term in IT management. In the present days of cutting-edge technology, IAM has evolved into a branch of science and has been perceived as a very difficult process. IT administrators have to find innovative ways to deal with the new challenges that today’s technologies and business demands throw at them.

Procuring industry-level IAM information, processes, implementation stories, what worked for whom, etc. can be difficult, if we do not look for it in the right place.

In today’s post we bring to you a list of analysts you might want to follow, to get industry-level IAM information.
