Risk scoring in Identity Security

Risk scoring is essential in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape where the number of identities organizations need to manage has increased exponentially. It helps security or governance teams prioritize and focus on their biggest risks, ensuring maximum effectiveness from their time and effort. Two dimensions of risk are likelihood and impact, which can be determined by considering three factors: configuration, activity, and access. Risk scoring enables organizations to effectively assess the potential consequences of a compromised identity, making it an indispensable tool in managing identity security.
