In my view investments in Identity Management (IdM) are going to be very pragmatic, also driven by the need to: manage a very “variable” workforce; cope with an increase of internal enterprise reorganizations and consolidations; deal with an increased number of identity thefts and related attacks.
As such I believe that the IdM areas that will get most of the market attentions are going to be in the areas of:
- Entitlement management (and automated user provisioning)
- Enterprise SSO
- Authentication strategies
I don’t believe that client-based federated identity management and advanced authorization solutions will be driving the Identity Management space, during this period of time.
From a Privacy Management perspective, I still believe that most of the action will happen in R&D contexts.
Of course, this is my view, based on some evidence and intuitions. I would be interested in getting your opinions.
I am also planning to compile a list of world-wide R&D projects and (industrial/university-based) R&D activities in the space of Identity and Privacy Management. I will post information about this. Of course, feel free to send me your input and relevant URLs.
