Cloud Computing, Mobile Computing and Social Computing - each of these trends have been around for some time. But what we see now, is the convergence of those forces, creating strong new business opportunities and changing the way we use information technology to interact with our customers and to run our enterprises. It is all about the shift of control into the hands of users, far beyond of what we used to call consumerization. Identity and access is the key element in this paradigm shift and there is no better place to get the right input for your strategy than EIC 2013. It is about protecting corporate information while enabling business agility.

The „Identity Explosion“ – explained first time at EIC 2012 – as part of the “Cambrian Explosion of Everything” with more devices, more identities, and more involved parties requires new approaches which think far beyond the organization’s perimeter. However, what is it really what customers need to manage identities and access and protect their corporate information, wherever it resides? Is it an expansion of traditional IAM tools? Are it...

Using existing Standards for Cloud-based Access Management across Organizations

Prof. Dr. Sachar Paulus, KuppingerCole

Cloud-based IAM is, to be honest, in most cases limited to Cloud-based authentication, which means to use the authentication of a customer or partner organization. A consequence thereof is that the authorization management architecture must be changed, since one can no longer assume that users will be present in the systems of the service provider (or in a specific identity provider) to manage authorizations upfront, e.g. by using role models or other (relatively) static information....
