Introduction |
Businesses must take complete responsibility for the full and proper protection of the information that they hold, but at the same time that information has little value unless it is openly available to users who have the correct access rights. To keep up with today’s ever-evolving information-access landscape, Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions must provide the unchallengeable ability to control, define, and prove the access credentials of all groups and individual systems users, irrespective of their source or location.
Many of the latest technology advances and business usage demands are forcing change on the systems dynamics of identity management and its access control capabilities. All of which, means that some of the long-standing, tried-and-trusted IAM solutions on the market today look as though they are struggling to remain fit for purpose. Some very large vendors are getting out of the IAM arena. Whilst others are responding by moving in the opposite direction and extending their solutions to meet the latest business demands which include: increased use of Web and secure remote access facilities; inter-company requirements for federated information sharing and user management; extended fraud protection; and ever-increasing regulatory demands.
