The growing use of mobile devices and movement of resources to the Cloud are adding further complexity to access management administration, enforcement, and auditing. In addition, there are still basic access management challenges that need to be addressed. These challenges will be due in part to some of these common predictions in IT and Security for 2012:
- The Cloud and increasing smart device use will introduce new security risks and requirements for access management
- We will see more centralization and standardization of access management controls and protocols across the enterprise
- Compliance will continue to be an issue for the enterprise in 2012 with ever tighter privacy laws, regulatory requirements, and audit findings regarding inadequate access controls
- Insider threats will increase the need for adequate universal access controls across diverse systems including servers, applications and the organization’s workstations
- True two factor authentication will be more universally adopted using mobile technologies
- IT/Security budgets are predicted to remain flat
