Identity Management

Identity Management (IdM) has developed several interpretations in the IT industry and is now associated as the management of a user's credentials and how they might log onto an online system. The focus on identity management goes back to the development of directories such as X.500 where a namespace is used to hold named objects that represent real life "identified" entities such as countries, organizations, applications, subscribers and devices.

Role Engineering - The Cornerstone of Role-Based Access Control
By : CA Published Date: Jun 25, 2008
Role-based access control (RBAC) is becoming the norm for managing entitlements within commercial systems and applications. RBAC can play a significant role in establishing a model for enforcing security within organizations. It simplifies entitlement management by using roles (as opposed to users) as authorization subjects. Having a holistic approach to role definition can help alleviate certification-related regulatory compliance challenges, and should be considered an integral part of any IAM initiative.

Beyond Logging and Monitoring: Proactive Security
By : Preventia Published Date: Feb 12, 2008
The traditional risk landscape is undergoing material changes: the economics of IT security are now being driven by the attacker’s gain, not the defender’s loss. What matters increasingly is how much the bad guys can make from an attack relative to their costs (including the cost of being caught). All too often, the cost of defense greatly outweighs the cost of attack. Criminals choose e-fraud and identity theft because these are more profitable than drug trading. Your challenge is to defend digital assets at a cost that does not threaten your own profitability.
