COVID-19 had a dramatic impact on nearly all functions within business, and identity and access management is no exception. In an era of increased remote working, traditional approaches to access management are struggling to manage devices and user identities that now exist outside of the enterprise.
Many organizations no longer possess the skills and resources in-house to effectively address the increasing complexity of identity and access management (IAM) challenges they are facing. As the IAM landscape continues to rapidly evolve, security and risk leaders must improve their approaches to identity proofing, develop stronger vendor management skills and mitigate the risks of an increasingly remote workforce.
To help security and risk leaders effectively approach this new era, Gartner analysts have made five strategic predictions for the future of IAM and fraud detection. These predictions focus on current trends in decentralized identity, access management, IAM professional services and identity proofing.
Prediction #1:
Cybersecurity mesh will support more than 50 per cent of IAM requests by 2025.
The old security model of “inside means trusted” and “outside means untrusted” has been broken for a long time. Most digital assets and devices are outside the enterprise, as are most identities.
The mesh model of cybersecurity provides a more integrated, scalable, flexible and reliable approach to digital asset access control than traditional security perimeter controls. By 2025, cybersecurity mesh will support more than half of all IAM requests, enabling a more explicit, mobile and adaptive unified access management model.
Prediction #2:
By 2023, 4 ..
