Manuel Schneider from Generali Deutschland Informatik Services will describe Generali´s drivers and lessons learned from a recent ABAC implementation project. Generali's objectives were to enable the organization to share IT resources among entities in a heavily regulated environment that demands precise and context-aware access controls.
Based on this information we will highlight some conclusions that should be of value to attendees.
NIST and the Federal Chief Information Officers Council explicitly name Attribute Based Access Control "as a recommended access control model for promoting information sharing between diverse and disparate organizations". In 2013, a Gartner analyst predicted that "by 2020, 70% of all businesses will use attribute-based access control". So there is wind elevating ABAC into the clouds but what happens on the ground?
In this session, the panelists will summarize findings from a large number of projects to establish what business drivers organizations had for their ABAC initiative.
