At HP Labs, we are making good progress in our R&D activities in the space of IAM Analytics.
As a reminder, the goal of our Identity Analytics activity (aka IAM Analytics) is to provide strategic decision maker with decision support tools to make informed decisions by exploring available options and trade-offs by means of what-if analysis.
Our approach differs from common bottom-up approaches that are driven by data analysis and subsequent extrapolations of patterns. Based on a top-down approach, Identity Analytics at HP Labs takes into account strategic aspects of relevance to decision makers (business processes, IT systems, people behaviours, costs, etc.) as well as the implications of dynamic threat environments. Models are developed and simulations carried out to make predictions, by exploring different assumptions, investment options and decision makers’ viewpoints.
Recent developments of our research activity include the exploration of IAM Economics and how a better understanding of strategic preferences of decision makers can help the decision making process.
