The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) CPS 230 Operational Risk Management standard covers a wide variety of required security measures. Two key control areas— defining and managing risk and ensuring business continuity—require that you understand and strengthen your identity infrastructure security.

As the cornerstone of operational access, your identity system enables your financial services organization to manage access to the data and services that users trust and rely on.

In this white paper, you’ll discover how the required controls in these areas relate to and depend on your identity infrastructure. And you’ll explore how your organization can strengthen your capability for CPS 230 compliance by addressing identity security.
