TechRadar™ For Security Pros: Zero Trust Identity Standards, Q3 2012

This report outlines Forrester's solution to help security and risk (S&R) leaders develop their road map of IAM processes using Forrester's TechRadar™ methodology. The extended enterprise requires enterprise applications, identity stores, mobile apps, and other systems to generate and consume a variety of identity and access information in order to protect sensitive corporate resources. This information must often flow across system and organization boundaries to account for B2B access, employee single sign-on to cloud apps, mobile app authorization, and more. In this environment, standards and protocols take on an exaggerated importance; the best of them enable organizations to control user access in a secure, interoperable, and agile fashion. This TechRadar assesses 17 of the key traditional and emerging standards used to help achieve a Zero Trust stance in extended-enterprise identity and access management.
