Identity Management & Access Control (IAM) – why?

Enterprises need to manage access to information and applications scattered across internal and external application systems. Moreover, they must provide this access for a growing number of identities, both inside and outside the organisation, without compromising security or exposing sensitive information. Security and Identity Management & Access Control leaders often struggle with launching and sustaining Identity Management & Access Control initiatives. IMF Academy advocates an approach to govern Identity Management & Access Control initiatives so as to manage the full spectrum of risks and achieve desirable business outcomes.

Business demands on Identity Management & Access Control (IAM) are changing rapidly, resulting in the requirement to adopt emerging technologies (e.g. mobile and cloud computing, data loss prevention, and social media) earlier and more quickly. Specifically cloud computing creates new Identity Management & Access Control risks that must be managed.
