A few weeks ago, I was out on the West Coast talking to companies about privileged user management and identity governance with our technology partner, Cyber-Ark.

We recently conducted our third Market Pulse Survey, which focused on the key drivers of access certifications and how organizations ensure their access privileges align with business policy.

It includes a slideshow of 2009′s largest security breaches, and concludes that this year alone, more personal information was exposed through data breaches than ever before.
