| - **Problem**: Organizations often use disconnected IAM systems across departments, leading to gaps in enforcement and oversight. | ||
| - **Example**: A financial institution was fined millions for a data breach caused by fragmented access controls that allowed an employee in one department to access sensitive data from another, unrelated division. |
