Identity Trends at Infosec 2022

This week saw the London edition of Infosec Europe - essentially a smaller version of the RSA Conference a few week ago in San Francisco. There were about 15,000 attendees and 300+ solution providers from a range of cyber and information security areas. Of course my primary interest was to get briefings and understand the viewpoint from an identity and access management perspective and see how far the tentacles of identity were now spreading into other orthogonal areas of security.

2022 Emerging IAM Technology Spend

I recently ran another of my highly scientific industry polls - via LinkedIn to get a feel for this years spending patterns as they pertain to some emerging identity and access management technology areas. I have been tracking four emerging areas over the past 8 months or so, including Passwordless Authentication (where The Cyber Hut released a 61 page buyer guide last year), Cloud Identity/Infrastructure Entitlements Management, Decoupled Authorization and Identity Threat Detection and Response.

All four areas have had significant venture capitalist funding over the past 36 months and the use cases and capabilities of each have started to stabilise to a point where buy side procurement and integration is becoming consistent and vendors are identifying their competitive go to market narratives.

So my poll was essentially asking, which of these areas would a buy-side practitioner look to invest in during 2022?
