But they believe digital transformation can only achieve its benefits, if security is improved. Identity and access management (IAM) is seen as a key factor in meeting the security challenges of digital transformation, with 93% pledging to maintain or increase spending on IAM in the next three years. Companies with less than 5,000 employees are matching large enterprises with over 10,000 employees in the drive to digital transformation.

The findings, contained in a study by market research and strategy company Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC), show strong awareness among senior IT decision makers of the need for IAM solutions that can function securely, while fulfilling the challenges and opportunities of the digital age.

Paul Fisher, research director at PAC, said: "Our study has revealed an encouraging awareness of the need for digital transformation of business by our representative sample of senior information and security executives across Europe.

"They are also acutely aware that IAM solutions will need to step up to the plate, if new identities from consumers, and even those of things and sensors, are to be securely managed," he added.
