Dave Kearns at Network World takes a look at what folks are discussing for Identity Management in 2011. Some highlights include:
- New round of M & A activity as large non-IAM vendors seek identity technologies to add to their core services
- Cyber criminals target the extended enterprise - trusted partners and vendors that have access to valued data
- Need for increased focus on threats from inside an organization (48% of data breaches in 2010 according to Secret Service report)
- Perception of IAM as cloud service will shift from cloud barrier to cloud enabler.
