This four-day security extravaganza tours the world, and I attended the keynotes and briefings sessions on the 6th and 7th. Clearly this is a broader security conference, but as always the role of identity and access management appears in more ways than previous and often in slightly less obvious ways.
Machines are eating the world. Or is it software? No wait, it's AI. In someways, it will likely be none, neither or all. I don't think any will make us all extinct, yet automation, the use of machines and services (powered by clever software) will certainly be doing more for us as humans than ever before - as employees, customers and citizens.
In light of the recent integration of ForgeRock into Ping Identity, The Cyber Hut has received numerous inquiry calls regarding potential integrations, feature overlap, next steps and existing deployment advice. To that end, we're making available a basic feature comparison matrix that highlights the basic capabilities each vendor as in each of the main identity areas of B2E and B2C. This matrix was compiled using publicly available references with peer review by those who have implemented ForgeRock or Ping technologies in the last 3 years.
A discussion on how role based access control may still deliver business value, if deployed in a slightly different way.
I wanted to expand to this based on conversations I've had over past 4-5 months as part of a research report coming out soon from The Cyber Hut on ITDR - what it is and why it's important now. The last thing I want to do however, is create more confusion and definitions! In order to avoid that I want to break down the term bit by bit.
An opinion piece analysing the potential acquisition of ForgeRock by private equity firm Thoma Bravo.
Last week I had the pleasure of presenting a rapid and remote 10 minute keynote at the southern LATAM IAM Tech Day Event.
A review of the recent re-brand of Microsoft Entra for their IAM capabilities and the results of two community polls relating to Microsoft adoption.
As part of The Cyber Hut's anecdotal community polls, we asked as an end user, what is your favourite biometric authentication option? The rise of device specific biometry to unlock our Android and iPhone based devices has increased in the last 3 years and many smart phone users will chose this over a basic PIN (albeit PIN is likely still needed after a hard reset).
I'm proud to announce today, the latest addition to The Cyber Hut online and in-person identity and access management training courses: Authentication Design & Management.
