What to Expect: Future Trends in Identity and Access Management
Summary
This article discusses future trends in Identity and Access Management (IAM), predicting significant disruptions in IAM systems over the next five years due to digital transformation. The presentation will cover projections for IAM, an identity abstraction model, and disruptive models like DevOps, cloud-based IAM, self-sovereign identity, IoT support, and evolving privacy regulations.
IFF Assessment
Advances in Identity and Access Management are generally beneficial for defenders as they aim to improve security and control over access.
Defender Context
As IAM systems evolve, defenders should pay close attention to emerging models like self-sovereign identity and cloud-based solutions, ensuring robust implementation and integration to maintain security posture. Staying abreast of disruptive models such as DevOps in identity systems will be crucial for mitigating new attack vectors.
