Beyond Build vs Buy: A Flexible Approach to Identity & Access Management

Abstract

In today's digital landscape, the traditional "build vs. buy" approach to Identity and Access Management (IAM) no longer fits modern business needs. The real challenge isn’t just implementing IAM—it’s making it sustainable and adaptable as the organization grows. Many companies that built their own solutions now seek alternatives, realizing that maintenance demands more resources while failing to keep pace with evolving security standards.
