CA Technologies Predicts Identity and Access Management Trends for 2015

Business Wire
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced five key trends for
security and identity and access management (IAM) that will impact
organizations and security professionals in 2015 as they compete in
the application economy.
“The impact of data breaches in 2014, coupled with the demands
of the application economy, will greatly influence the way security
professionals view and approach identity and access management in
2015. CA Technologies is prepared to help customers meet the shift
in IAM this year and beyond,” said Steve Firestone, senior vice
president and general manager, Security business, CA
Technologies.
Identity and Access Management in 2015 – a prediction of
what’s ahead:
1. Identity-aware organizations will adopt an “identity dial
tone”: The application economy and increased use of mobile apps
is driving a need for a centralized, common way to access identity
and entitlement information. Identity-aware organizations need to
establish an “identity dial tone” to act as one source of identity
truth to simplify app development, deployment and adoption and spur
new innovation. It will encompass all apps, across all channels and
be easily available using identity APIs.
2. Universal authentication comes to your pocket or bag:
Increasingly, the mobile phone or mobile device will be used as a
universal authenticator. The increased focus on authentication,
driven by factors such as President Obama’s executive order (for
multi-factor authentication), chip and PIN / signature technology,
biometrics and new payment models will drive the demand for simpler
and streamlined authentication. Organizations will strive for
“zero-touch authentication” to deliver as frictionless and
password-free an experience for their customers and employees as
possible, and the mobile device will be a key element.
3. A shift from identity management to identity access
security: A change in emphasis within the identity market will
occur, based primarily on the impacts of last year’s breaches. The
emphasis will shift from basic identity administration to identity
security. The majority of 2014 headline breaches hinged on
compromised insider identities that opened organizations to data
theft and application abuse. Protecting organizations against rogue
or compromised insider identities will require new kinds of
identity and access security that is intelligent, contextual and
verifiable.
4. Mobility and the Internet of Things will drive the
emergence of API-first architectures: The continued rise of
mobile apps and the Internet of Things will drive a move towards
lighter-weight, API-first architectures in order to more easily
connect into the digital ecosystem. These architectures will be
better able to support the large array of user types that need to
access apps and data on-premise or in the cloud and across a range
of device types. An API-first architecture is what will provide the
agility and flexibility that success in the app economy
requires.
5. Boards of directors will have increased visibility and
involvement into the corporate security strategy: Corporate
executives and boards increasingly will be held accountable for
breaches that damage their corporate brand. This will increase
their level of involvement in security strategy and governance.
Security will shift from an “IT problem” to an “executive problem.”
Concerns over “denial of business” will drive increased board
oversight.
