KPMG in Canada is expanding its Identity and Access Management service offering with the acquisition of Calgary-based IMagosoft, an identity management solution provider.
KPMG officials noted the rising threat to hybrid workforces by cybercriminals, leading to increased adoption of identity solutions. Organisations seek KPMG's support to enhance security, employee and customer experiences, and reduce friction. To meet this demand, they welcomed IMagosoft's team.
Additionally, KPMG emphasised the growing importance of Identity and Access Management (IAM) for Canadian organisations. Cybercriminals aim to steal user identities and credentials, posing significant financial and reputational risks. Finding the right balance between security, operational efficiency, and user experience remains a challenge for most organizations.
IMagosoft co-founders and their team officially joined KPMG on 26 September 2023. Specialising in IAM, they co-founded the company in 2016 and have a track record of helping their clients in Canada and the US with services ranging from programme design, software implementation, product customisation and upgrades, and cloud computing solutions to mapping IAM functions to compliance requirements and identity governance and administration.
KPMG has more than 30 cybersecurity partners and 300 cybersecurity specialists across Canada.
