The way we work has forever changed. 
The way we protect that work should too.

Hybrid work, an abundance of SaaS, and the urgency to increase productivity have resulted in an irreversible trend of employees bringing a multitude of unmanaged applications and devices into their work environments.

Balancing security and productivity 
has never been harder.

Security and IT are obligated to secure every sign-in to every application on every device. With the rapid increase in unmanaged applications and devices – often unknown to security or IT –  too many sign-ins are unsecured and too much data is at risk.

Securing access to only managed applications is no longer enough.

Identity and access management (IAM) secures managed applications. But what about the rest?  In today’s environment, businesses must extend beyond IAM to also secure the unmanaged applications and devices that have become integral to the way they work.

Businesses need to close their Access Trust Gap

Traditional tools can only secure sign-ins to managed applications, which are just a fraction of the applications in use. What’s left are unsecured sign-ins to unmanaged applications, which creates a big Access Trust Gap. 


The Access Trust Gap is the percentage of all sign-ins to business applications that are untrusted – either because employees are signing in to unmanaged applications or because they’re signing in from untrusted devices. The larger the Access Trust Gap, the greater the risk of a data breach.

The Access Trust Gap keeps growing.

The changing landscape of work is putting the goal of complete access management increasingly out of reach.

We can’t go back to the old way of working.

 In order to be truly secure, businesses must have full confidence that every identity is authentic, every application sign-on is secure, and every device is healthy.
