Many organizations have adopted stand-alone Cloud Access Management solutions to monitor their multi-cloud environments, but is that enough? While these solutions are good at providing visibility into cloud access, t...
Self-Service Access Request is one example of a way that organizations enable new and seasoned employees so they can get the access they require to get their jobs done. The concept sounds simple, right? Give users a catalog of items to choose from, allow them to submit requests, and carry the request through necessary reviewers before granting the access.
