Highlights
The complexity of ID&AM requirements, along with the need to integrate disparate elements into a coherent ID&AM infrastructure, has left the technology with a reputation for being difficult to deploy and costly to integrate. This reputation may have been justified in the past, but vendors have made strides towards simplifying their solutions. Of all the components of security, ID&AM has the most important role to play in the maturing security market. ID&AM is tightly linked to business processes and to the IT infrastructure, since the management of access according to role, location and type of resource is a key enabler of business processes. Retail banking will continue to represent a key vertical for ID&AM vendors; however, the high penetration in the market suggests that demand within this sector will slow down. This will be accompanied by an increase in the demand for ID&AM solutions across other verticals.
