Also, the growth in online applications and risk management compliance mandates are anticipated to impel the identity & access management market and thus it is projected to gain traction over the forecast period.
The implementation of identity & access management systems has grown considerably in the last few years, inferable from the developing usage at enterprise level for unified checking and stringent government regulations to secure client information. The increase in occurrences of cyberattacks and rise in adoption of IoT (Internet of Things) are projected to drive the market. The absence of predefined set of rules and mandates in certain industries and concerns about cloud-based security is hampering the market development to a certain extent. Owing to the developing market for electronic security frameworks and various functionalities provided by IAM systems, the worldwide market is expected to grow at a high pace.
