The Future of PIAM

The security industry has come a long way since the advent of PACS and legacy PIAM solutions. However, there is still much to be discovered in terms of data-automation as it relates to security. PIAM 2.0 sets new benchmarks in identity and visitor management, compliance, facility operations and occupancy management, emergency management and mustering, threat intelligence, SOC operations, and so much more. Such capabilities are already defining how companies are addressing digital transformation, so it becomes a more natural extension of those procedures and applications already in use today. PIAM 2.0 also underscores the growing imperative for enterprises to make use of data that is already available to them to facilitate higher levels of security, safety and efficiency. Imagine that this is just the beginning of PIAM 2.0. Contact us here to learn more.
