Executive Summary

Identity and access management (IAM) continues to be a fragmented field of disjointed technologies with difficult and expensive implementation cycles and even more costly efforts in the wake of bad technology decisions. Products that give quick answers to immediate security and audit problems (privileged user and password management, identity audit, enterprise single sign-on) continue to excel and move fast along our adoption curves. While these products deliver demonstrable value, they oftentimes complicate the CISO's plan to establish a unified IAM portfolio. More established IAM products (Web single sign-on, provisioning, and directories) continue providing security and efficiency benefits for organizations that can afford their adoption. Standalone password management and metadirectories continue their decline, being subsumed by provisioning and virtual directories.
