Description
Don't miss this discussion with Simon, author of the recently released book "IAM at 2035: A Future Guide to Identity Security".
Where will our IAM world take us over the next decade? IAM at 2035 aims to take us on a journey to understand not what to think, more how to think about the current and emerging identity problems our organisations face, along with a structured framework for analysing both incremental and radical innovations as they support our identity security journey.
Written on the back of over 200 interviews with leading vendors, practitioners and industry experts, IAM at 2035 describes a modern identity-centric landscape critically integrated to the cyber, data and endpoint security worlds to help deliver a model for end to end assurance, based on attribution and intent - with verified and validated identities at all parts of our transaction processing - from workloads and infrastructure, to people and hardware. This book will analyse it all - highlighting emerging markets, patterns, startups and standards.
