Good Article John
It covers all the aspects which a common man should be aware of. I believe that companies spending somuch money on Identity Management should lay due emphasis on finger prints, retinal scans etc. and based on that there should be a network authentication for a user to see any data. In the absence of these tools, it might not be that productive.

"An Introduction to IAM". A very well written article. Strikes the right balance between technical and non-technical. Interesting and informative even for a lay reader.

Hi John,
I thought your piece did a really nice job of conveying the basic concepts and technologies of identity management to a senior IT audience. Since this is one of the hottest topics in IT today, I’m sure it was well-received.
I thought I would offer an observation that while you are correct in your assertion that the government was instrumental in steering companies towards identity management policies initially, a number of forward thinking companies have moved beyond the goal of straightforward regulatory compliance, and are embracing the greater business-oriented issues of governance and risk management. By applying a business-oriented, risk-based approach to identity management, these early-adopter companies are focusing their efforts on the most critical areas of vulnerability, which are often related to “insider threats”, as you noted in your article.
I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you further on the topic of GRC and identity management if your schedule allows.
Best regards,
Mark McClain
