Standing privileges are the “root cause of all bad in IAM”, so to speak. They are part of over-entitlement. They are the reason why organizations must spend a lot of time for recertifications. Etc. Time to change it. Change requires many players in different areas of IAM, including vendors (for sure), but also end users, auditors, and others. Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analyst, will share his perspective on where and how we could overcome standing privileges in IAM without breaking everything (specifically the legacy we can’t get rid off quickly) and which actions are needed here. He will unveil a vision of an IAM without standing privileges.
Standing privileges are, so to speak, the “root cause of all that’s wrong in IAM.” They contribute to over-entitlement and are a key reason why organizations must devote significant time to access recertifications—and much more. It’s time for a change.
However, real change requires the involvement of many stakeholders across different areas of IAM: vendors (certainly), but also end users, auditors, and others.
Matthas Reinwarth, IAM Practice Director at KuppingerCole Analysts, will share his perspective on where and how we can eliminate standing privileges in IAM—without breaking everything, especially the legacy systems we can’t quickly replace. He will present a vision of IAM without standing privileges and outline the concrete actions needed to achieve it.
