Almost every individual and every business now has a cyberpresence that needs to be secured. Digital transformation has also created a growing supply of security targets in the form of information-rich storehouses of data.

However, modern identity isn’t just about security, privacy, or even convenience. The key value of an identity platform is enablement, in that it allows an organization to securely provide services to end users. It is all “Yes you can … but only you can.”

Even though cybersecurity seems to be an area of particular focus, this scorecard will illustrate that law firms continue to struggle with making operational investments and instituting practices that do not provide a quantifiable financial return. Thus, they jeopardize their reputations, client relationships, and in some cases, financial well-being.

If we don’t appropriately control access and protect our data from threats, we put our enterprises at risk.”
