Identity Management (IdM)

Identity Management (IdM)

| | "Don't start with the tool. Don't start with even thinking about vendors. Don't think "gee, now that we have fully committed to Identity and Access Management we will just outsource the whole thing, and a third party will take care of our business process for us." Instead, make the commitment to work through processes. Don't worry yet about higher-level tasks such as "role engineering" and "compliance baselining." If you start there, chances are it will not be worth the paper it's printed on by the next fiscal quarter. Instead, collect processes. Start with "business snippets" and work up from there." |
