What does Identity and Access Management in 2022 look like?



Identity and access management (IAM) can be defined as a set of digital security processes, policies and tools that ensure only authorized people are allowed access to the requisite technology resources. Right from logging into our bank account, to swapping our office access cards, to editing the citizenship details on government portals, we all use IAM solutions.  

With the growing relevance of digital transformation, creating an end-user-centric workspace has become imperative for IAM which is the cornerstone of security. Companies are adopting AI and ML on a large scale for mature product offerings, improvements in user experience, reduction of manual touchpoints across the entire IAM chain, and so on. These are touted to benefit customers, the workforce users, security administrators, and developers alike.  

User experience is the foremost element on this list to undergo futuristic development. Companies are collaborating with cybersecurity experts for streamlining processes right from registration to the rest of the organizational cycles. At the same time, not sacrificing the effectiveness of security controls is also an important factor that needs to be taken care of.  

Earlier, companies used to hire cybersecurity services to cater to their specific needs. With the looming threat of cyberthreats across various verticals, customers are increasingly seeking complete solutions that encompass not just technology, but services as well. This removes the need for multiple vendors and with the shortage of skilled experts, in-house delivery of cybersecurity solutions has become inevitable. Security-as-a-service (SaaS) is gaining popularity and will continue to do so in the coming years. Gartner has predicted that by 2023, almost 40% of IAM solutions will be driven by MSSPs offering best-of-breed integrations, shifting influence from vendors to service partners. 

Modern cybersecurity needs today, call for  “least privilege” which also happens to be the best practice. Here, each user holds the right access only to those tasks they’re specifically assigned to carry out within the shortest time necessary.
