NAPLES, Fla., Nov. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bloor Research confirmed Fischer International Identity is a top vendor in identity and access management (IAM) services by rating them a Champion in Bloor's "Market Update: Identity & Access Management Services." The report provides a snapshot of the current state of the market for identity and access management (IAM) services.

"Mobile, cloud and social are disruptive forces that are changing the technology landscape. They enable new business opportunities and greater productivity, but also introduce new risks that need to be countered to prevent sensitive information from being accessed inappropriately."
