A survey released Monday by Gartner and identity management vendor Radiant Logic indicates that most companies are suffering from complicated credential and identity issues, but few are taking steps to address it.
The issue, according to Radiant Logic, is what it calls “identity sprawl”—businesses require identification and credentialling for an increasingly large number of systems these days, meaning that a given user might have one login for the HR system, another for one set of shared assets on the company network, another still for an official Microsoft account, and so on.
