Quest Experience Week: PeopleSoft Day

A post-Covid business environment forced the expansion of PeopleSoft access, which has “opened a can of worms” on multiple fronts. Specifically – securing identity, application access, and the sensitive business data residing in your PeopleSoft systems. All of these areas must be secured effectively, efficiently, and without resulting in a loss of productivity. Sounds easy, right? Of course not!
 
In a sea of disparate solutions for identity management, access governance (zero trust), emergency access management, and data loss prevention – it’s easy to see why organizations do nothing at all… they don’t know what to prioritize or where to start.
 
Join Pathlock’s session as we provide a comprehensive (and ROI-positive) roadmap for securing PeopleSoft. We will break down the challenges that come with each area of focus, provide recommendations for implementing a proactive and user-friendly strategy, and discuss what automation is available for PeopleSoft identity and access governance. All are in-service to provide you with a plan that achieves data-centric security at scale.
