Identity-as-a-Service Access Management (IDaaS AM) has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets of IAM, characterized by cloud-based delivery of traditional IAM services. KuppingerCole estimates the global IDaaS market will continue to grow at a CAGR of 24% in 2019.

The majority of security breaches and attacks can be traced back to stolen and compromised passwords. Mobile devices are often particularly vulnerable because many users tend to avoid long passwords and special characters.

Role management remains a pivotal challenge in many companies. Regulations (such as BAIT and VAIT in Germany) require companies not only to implement an IGA solution (Identity Governance & Administration), but also a uniform authorization concept and its regular review, including the assignment of access rights to the individual authorized persons.

Nearly all high-impact cyberattacks have a phase in which the attacker must conduct lateral movement from their initial landing point to their ultimate target. To do this, the attacker needs a combination of credentials and available connections between one system and another. This is the evasive process of “living off the land” using the connectivity native to the organization.

Globalization has given many companies the opportunity to run factories and other operations in various countries. In doing so, manufacturers are faced with challenging regulations they have to comply with and that may differ in the U.S., EMEA, Russia, China, and other countries. IAM is an essential element for operating business, when it comes to employees, business partners such as suppliers, and customers.

Consumers and employees are increasingly on-the-go, and that means that more transactions and more work originates from the mobile phone. Fraud and data loss rates have also been rising. A plethora of mobile-based digital identity technologies have entered the market over the last few years to help businesses and other organization meet these challenges.

For the majority of businesses, the budgeting season is about to start. Some are done, some will be later, if the fiscal year differs from the calendar year. But usually, in September and October, this process is kicked off.

In the age of digital transformation, consumers tend to have multiple digital identities across several devices deploying a variety of services. In this environment, digital trust is what sets brands apart from their competitors. Taking and storing customer data is a duty of care, and brands cannot afford data breaches or compromises.

Virtually any business needs to grant business partners access to certain IT services. While employee IAM is a well-established discipline, where HR frequently delivers the information about joiners, movers, and leavers, and while Consumer IAM (CIAM) commonly relies on self-registration, B2B IAM comes with different challenges.

For traditional or Business-to-Employee (B2E) IAM, HR departments are responsible for gathering documentation from employees to determine their suitability for employment. For Business-to-Consumer (B2C) or CIAM, identity proofing can be more difficult. Depending on the nature of the business, the attributes that need to be collected and verified can differ widely. For example, Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations govern the kinds of attributes and authoritative attributes that must be collected in the finance industry.
