Security Analytics as a Service - Important IAM Case Study Successfully Delivered

Good news. We successfully delivered an important case study in Security Analytics, in the context of IAM (provisioning and deprovisioning processes) for a major customer (no details can be provided due to confidentiality agreements).

This consisted of a detailed risk assessment analysis of their current IAM access management processes – based on agreed metrics – and a related “what-if” analysis of the consequences of adopting degrees of IAM automation.

This provided good insights and key taking points to the customer as well as useful feedback for our Security Analytics work, in particular in the context of HP Labs Identity Analytics.

We indeed want to run Security Analytics as a business Service. In this context, Vistorm is going to play a key role, as described here. Specifically, for Security Analytics applied to IAM, we can think at “Identity Analytics as a Service”.

I can see two main threads of coming activities:

• Paid Security Analytics Services (carried out by Vistorm, in collaboration with HP Labs) – for standard security analytics assessments, in IAM areas that have already been templated and explored
• Exploratory case studies (lead by HP Labs, in collaboration with Vistorm) in IAM areas that require additional investigations, for examples a few leading-edge ones, discussed here
  

Security Analytics as a Service - in particular in the context of IAM, is going to help strategic decision makers to clarify their priorities and support their decisions, in processes and investments that quite often are in the order of million of dollars.
