In an increasingly connected world, organizations face a growing threat: phishing and identity impersonation. Attackers seek to exploit employees’ trust to steal sensitive information or compromise a company’s security. In this context, having a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution like the one offered by Soffid is essential.
