Although many enterprises have user access security measures in place, both on-premises and in the cloud, they may not have enough, warned the Cloud Security Alliance in a new report.
The report, “Identity Solutions: Security Beyond the Perimeter,” was released April 21. It’s based on 325 online interviews conducted worldwide by the CSA.
