3 Things To Remember On Your Path To IAM Maturity

To reach IAM maturity, businesses need a roadmap – an understanding of where they’re going and a knowledge of the milestones they should be meeting along the way. Achieving the highest level in a maturity model used to be very difficult, and few organizations were able to do it. Today, gaining maturity is far easier – but even so, most companies still get stuck.

Learn where they are going wrong and the three things you should be doing instead in the blog "Walking The Path To IAM Maturity."

Gartner''s IAM Leaders'' Guide to Access Management

“IAM leaders focused on core AM tools should refer to the Gartner research mentioned here to understand the broadened scope, deployment approaches and adoption trends of AM tools.” Security and risk management leaders focused on IAM need to assess AM tool scope and deployment approaches and apply continuous adaptive risk and trust assessment approaches to AM.

“The bigger picture of an IAM program scope includes four main functional areas: administration, authorization, assurance and analytics. The AM discipline provides authorization, assurance and analytics capabilities, along with some administrative capabilities as well. It is responsible for the establishment and coordination of runtime access decisions on target systems in line with the other core AM functions.”

Types of Authentication Methods

Authentication is the process of allowing people, often employees, to identify who they are so that they can gain access to the company’s facilities or computer network. The process is extremely important to help prevent unauthorized access, which can lead to catastrophic data breaches.

I.T.''s Secret Weapon -

Virtual Identity Server

Event Date: April 21st, 11 AM EST/2 PST

Using a virtual directory server is an easy way to see data from multiple applications, directory servers and data stores that are fundamentally incompatible. It also allows you to simply integrate new applications into your current identity infrastructure without needing to alter directory data - your data stays in its original format and location!

A virtual directory server is a complex and advanced concept that is not well understood outside of the circles where it is used. But in this presentation, we will show why it could be the single most flexible and powerful software component you can add to improve the administration and operation of your enterprise directory services.

Here are benefits of a virtual directory that will be covered:

Speedier deployments - no need to add and sync data sources that are application-specific
Leverages current identity infrastructure and investments to launch new services
Presents a unified, virtual view of user data from several disparate systems
Can be used in any environment with all major platforms
Search caching and load balancing can improve performance
Increased security
Built-in manageability
Easily extended and customized

Pros and Cons of Using

an IDaaS Solution

While more companies are opting for quality cloud-based IAM, identity as a service, or IDaaS, is not for every company. There are many benefits of IDaaS, but they come with risks as well. For example, although easily avoidable, one of the big negatives that many companies anticipate from an IDaaS solution is the danger of having to outsource critical functions.
