Report Highlights
The pressure to provide better auditing and governance capabilities within IT
will lead to an increase in the level of integration between ID&AM on the one
hand and IT compliance, IT governance and security management solutions on the
other.
Dynamic role management and access control is needed, both to deal with
employee access seamlessly and to automate provisioning processes. These
requirements are not new, but 2008 will be the year when this technology will
mature and grow.
ID&AM and IRM are complementary. Access enforcement can be performed on the
application and individual file level while the ID credentials and access
policy are controlled by the ID&AM solution. This technology may not become
part of the IT systems management mainstream in 2008, but will certainly come
to forefront of IT security.
