The IAM Challenges of Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) often result in a tangled web of identity systems—commonly referred to as “identity spaghetti.” Resolving this complexity is critical for both security and operational efficiency.
Key Challenges
- Disparate IAM Systems
Different IAM tools used by merging entities may not be compatible. - Orphaned Accounts
Overlooked accounts from legacy systems pose security risks. - Access Conflicts
Employees may inadvertently gain excessive or conflicting permissions.
Best Practices for IAM Integration
- Conduct an IAM Audit
Identify and catalog all user accounts, roles, and permissions across systems. - Adopt a Unified IAM Solution
Choose a single platform to centralize identity management. - Use Automated Tools
Deploy tools for role mining and access reconciliation.
Navigating post-M&A identity complexities requires a strategic approach and robust IAM solutions. Trevonix specializes in helping organizations streamline their IAM ecosystems, ensuring seamless integrations that support long-term success.
