As a horizontal technology, traditional identity & access management (IAM) solutions have been working very well in all kinds of enterprises and organizations. However, IAM provides a much higher potential and is thus acting more and more as an integral security layer in vertical solutions. State-of-the-art examples are the European Services Directive for the public sector, health information systems, electronic patient and case records for the healthcare sector, business partner networks for the car industry or biometric solutions for manufacturing execution systems. Furthermore, all industries have to meet different compliance requirements being subject to a continuously increasing complexity.
Consequently, IAM solutions are mutating from their role as support processes – such as administration processes – to the IT kernel processes. The presentation provides insight to this development by highlighting several trendsetting solution examples.
