Identity: Then to Now
Evolution of Identity Directory Services Container Synch Data Provisioning Data Governance Single Source Identity is Everywhere
When you think about it, there’s almost too much identity to get our hands and heads around. Identity is literally everywher e BJ Dooley, Email Advisor, “Mobile Mayhem: Identities as the New Perimeter,” Cutter Consortium, May 27, 2014 http://bit.ly/1kdhVK3 It is not merely Identity that is the new Perimeter, but it is Identities; and this access model has implications far beyond just security.
The Good: Why Identity Matters A mature Identity and Access Management program can have significant positive impacts on your organization Streamline authentication experience for employees, customers and partners through centralized access management Generate greater brand awareness and consumer loyalty through better customer experience Improve ability to meet compliance requirements and address audit findings through centralized reporting Gain operational efficiencies through centralized access management, user lifecycle administration and governance
The Bad: Why Identity Matters 63% However, an immature Identity and Access Management program can impact the security and reputation of your organization Percentage of confirmed data breaches that involved weak, default or stolen passwords.* *source: Verizon **source: Ponemon Institute 55% Percentage of internal data breaches caused by privilege abuse – where internal actors misuse their level of granted access.* 42% Percentage of users not confident their organization has enterprise-wide visibility to determine if privileged users are compliant with policies.**
Market Drivers: Breaches are Accelerating (despite spending growth) 27% Bank/Credit/Financial 783 Breaches in 2014 alone More breaches YoY Education Government/ Military Business Breaches hit record high Medical/ Healthcare
Shifting the Approach
Driving the Change: Business IT Organization, Systems and Infrastructure Business Strategy 1. Swaths of unstructured data moving outside of IT control 2. Supply chains are more connected Global Social and Political Forces Organizational Culture 3. Organizations are more open 4. Consumer technologies and concepts overwhelming IT Adversaries and Threats Government and Industry Regulations 5. Disparate and decentralized infrastructures
Hacktivists Groups Nation-States Motivation Organized Criminals Financial gain - Sell information on black market. Use trusted partner data for further attacks Politics, ideology, business disruption, or reputation Target Information Actor Driving the Change: Threats Personal Identifiable Information (PII), Personal Health Information (PHI), Trusted Partner Information, Financial Accounts Destroy data or disrupt business to lose Intellectual Property, credibility, influence, Competitive Formulas and competitiveness, or Processes stock value Politics, economics, intellectual property, or military advantage Competitors Intellectual property, competitive advantage Internal / External Financial gain, intellectual property, or malicious destruction, non-malicious actions Intellectual Property, Growth, M&A Plans, Combination of all Financial Results, Pricing, Competitive Formulas and groups Processes

Core Tenets All aspects of cyber security must work together to achieve effectiveness Every transaction (incl. attack surface or target) involves a credential, a service and/or a piece of data. Security investments operate fundamentally in one of three modes (each mode in and of itself not being dynamic enough). Snapshot in time Reactive Exclusionary
Nearly Every Security Problem. Is an IAM Problem Situational and Policy Centric IAM Can: Interpret data and policy expectations and adjust access control decisions Store and share contextual data for policy planning and configuration Network and Infrastructure Centric IAM Can: Support user and governance functions in hybrid infrastructure environments Adapt access control decisions based on network and infrastructure actions Third-Party Risk Threat Intelligence Compliance and Regulations Cloud Infrastructure Services Distributed Denial Evolving Technology Landscape User and Data Centric IAM Can: Manage access control dynamically based on variables and triggers Store and share contextual data for more effective individual deployments Future and Emerging Centric IAM Can: Learn and modify governance and fulfillment requests based on dynamic information Store and share contextual data to limit false positives and manage threat response Give a “user experience” to IoT Client Data and IP Mobility Security Awareness Advanced Threat Internet of Things Insider Threats
Identity Defined Security M SIE IAM Provide real time, intelligencebased access to data and applications by integrating IAM infrastructure with existing cyber security technologies.
The Future is. Identity Defined Security (IDS) Identity Defined Security is a novel term, but not necessarily a new idea. Identity has been used in the authentication process since inception but weakness in one factor or weakness in lack of data have hindered security for just as long. We need a new way of thinking about the usage of identity and defining security through identity from endto-end provides a clear alternative to denying access by default in our breach a week world of today.
How Does IDS Enable Us?
IDS is Not About Building Bigger Walls Evolution is not about replicating perimeter security techniques Bad guys have become more inventive with taller ladders
IDS is About evolving and adapting more dynamic security models Build trust and confidence that creates value Enable convenient & secure (B2E, B2C and B2B) relationships Extend security beyond firewalls Seamlessly & continuous connectivity- any users, any resource, any device and any service
IDS is about. Coupling contextual identity data with intelligence to drive decision making User behavior Past usage Attributes / Identifiers Pattern and peer analysis Entities correspond to Identities consist of
From Here to There
The Ugly: Identity Matters, But It’s Not Easy Lack of Skilled Labor Technolo gy Centric View Siloed Projects 74% of organizations believe implementing identity and access management is too difficult** **source: Ponemon Institute Labor shortage of highly experienced staff. Increasing complexity due to cloud, BYOD, consumerization of IT. Organizations think implementing technology will be enough. Need to invest in the right people and processes. High failure rate due to perceived business impact and complexity. Not planning thoroughly before implementing technology.
