57 % of organizations take weeks for infrastructure access to be approved
StrongDM , the company behind a People-First Access Platform , has released the results of its latest survey , the 2022 Access-Productivity Gap Report , which revealed that almost two-thirds of organizations have their productivity impacted on a daily or weekly basis due to access issues .
