2022 Thales Access
Management Index
Building Zero Trust with Modern Access Security
The impact of remote work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has caused both security professionals and the average technology user to be more aware of security concerns and how to address them. The 2022 Thales Access Management Index, based on data from a survey of nearly 2,800 respondents in more than 15 countries across the globe, looks to identify the extent of that change, as well as the current state of access management and plans for access security across a range of industries. The insights in this report were gleaned from the survey data, and this report explores the impacts on identity and access management (IAM) security strategy and planning.
Analysis from 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, based on a survey with more than 2,700 security professionals worldwide.
