Understanding Identity Management

Identity Management (IAM) has been described as: the ability to manage many users, in a variety of roles across an organization, and sometimes outside of that organization, as those users access content, applications and services.

Enterprises, Government and Higher Education Institutions are constantly faced with the growing issues around Id Management.

• One of today’s major challenges is to mitigate the security risks associated with conducting business across a wide group of users: employees, customers, partners and students for example. The question then is how to provide a central point of control for successful administration, authentication, authorization, audit and management of online digital identities.
• Operational cost reduction is also necessary requiring solutions that can manage large, dynamic user populations through the use of automation, delegation and self-service capabilities.
• Improved service levels, user productivity, and customer satisfaction increase the amount of access requests an enterprise or institution can respond to.
• Compliance with industry regulation and government legislation requires an organization to provide detailed provisioning reports as well as policy enforcement capabilities such as role-based access and provisioning.

Return on Investment

Addressing an identity access management infrastructure can be overwhelming, and usually involves many components. The investment is minimal compared to the return on cost, productivity, and potential security incidents. Determining ROI is often a function of the number of users, the number of administrative tasks, and the complexity of these tasks. Below are some examples of leading ROI drivers for organizations and institutions today:

• Reduced Costs: Automation, delegation and self-service features cutting administrative activities and headcount, preventing fragmented provisioning processes.
• Increased Productivity: Partners, customers, students, etc. may more quickly access the resources needed, when they need them, even as their roles & responsibilities change, decrease the time to provision and deprovision users. 
• Reduction of Security Incidents: Secure control of access rights significantly reduce the risks associated with providing access to growing, diverse communities of partners, customers, employees, students, etc.
