"To cloud or not to cloud?" - this is no longer the question. It is rather to what extent and depth enterprises leverage cloud computing. With identity and access management (IAM) solutions for their internal IT systems, enterprises have achieved a high level of security, transparency and compliance. They do not want to go back to the old days of erratic and insecure identity management when they have to deal with multiple cloud providers and their proprietary user management interfaces.
Integrating and maintaining each cloud application individually within the enterprise IAM solution is no real alternative. Obviously, building a pure Cloud IAM besides the existing on-site IAM is also not the most elegant way to solve the challenge. The target should be to use an approach that seamlessly connects the enterprise IAM solution with a multitude of cloud services in a standardized, centralized way.
In this panel session, we will discuss about architectural approaches for extending IAM to the Cloud, in order to allow managing all identities and access in a consistent way.
