Adopt a comprehensive identity and access risk security governance strategy with Pathlock Cloud, and ensure a seamless transition from SAP IDM.
Leveraging SAP IDM End-of-Life for Unified Identity and Access Governance
SAP has announced the end of life for SAP Identity Management (IDM) is approaching in 2027. This announcement presents a significant challenge for organizations, particularly those subject to compliance regulations like SOX. The looming deadline demands a proactive approach to identify and implement suitable alternative solutions.
The transition from SAP IDM is an opportunity to adopt a more comprehensive and risk-centric approach to identity and access security management. By consolidating disparate systems and aligning identity management with internal policies, organizations can enhance visibility into their risk landscape and improve overall security posture.
The consequences of failing to migrate before the SAP IDM end-of-life can be severe. Potential system downtime, application vulnerabilities, and increased risks of fraud and non-compliance can have a devastating impact on an organization’s operations and reputation.
