HPL Identity Analytics – Next Generation

After the good success of HPL Identity Analytics case studies and its transfer to Vistorm (in the broader context of Security Analytics), it is now time to think about new potential application areas in the IAM space and even beyond, including governance and assurance aspects.

Some customers’ input highlights the need to better understand the lifecycle management of privilege users. This is a critical aspect with major implications in terms of organisational’s risk exposure.

In this context, we are interested in exploring organisational processes that are complementary to the operational ones, including Personnel Vetting, Compliance Checking, Job Design and SoD Management.

Other application areas for our Analytics approach are in the cloud computing environment, e.g. exploring the impact of adopting different IAM models and approaches in the cloud (public and private) in terms of risks, productivity, compliance, costs, etc.

Does this community has any particular area/topic, in the IAM space, that is perceived being critical and worth exploring?
