“Today’s business landscape requires ubiquitous access to business applications that are simply not equipped to ensure proper governance, security, and compliance,” said Piyush Pandey, CEO of Appsian Security. “Effectively managing risk requires a holistic approach that breaks down the silos between information technology, information security, audit, and compliance.
By bringing Xpandion into the Appsian Security family, organizations will have the unique opportunity to combine identity, access management, governance, and segregation of duties (compliance) altogether. We’re creating the most comprehensive and streamlined approach to combating today’s challenging and dynamic access risks.”
