• 80% of digital access will be shaped by new mobile and non-PC
architectures, up from 5% today.
• 60% of all digital identities interacting with enterprises will come from external
identity providers through a competitive marketplace, up from <10% today.
• over 80% of enterprises will allow unrestricted access to non-critical assets,
up from <5% today, reducing spending on IAM by 25%.
• 70% of all businesses will use attribute-based access control (ABAC) as the
dominant mechanism to protect critical assets, up from <5% today.
• identity analytics and intelligence (IAI) tools will deliver direct business value*
in 60% of enterprises, up from <5% today.
• the Internet of Things will redefine the concept of "identity management" to
include what people own, share, and use.

23. 5. Four measures to master mobile developments
1. Separate systems of engagement from systems of record
and specify interacions on the interface level (both protocol
and file/data format). Choose standards.
2. Orchestrate over an increasing number of business
partners, devices, protocols and formats
3. Be resilient to all types of risk in the automated landscape
under your responsibility
4. Carefully choose your anti lock-in strategy
Speed up!

5. Four measures to master mobile developments
- Orchestrate
Compliance
starts here

26. • Counter the ‘wave of appliances’ and lock-in wars with open
source orchestration
• Use standardization to minimize the number of supported
protocols and file formats as much as possible
• Keep risk acceptable
5. Four measures to master mobile developments
- Choose your anti lock-in strategy

27. Resilience can be obtained by moving away from typical barrier enhancement
risk-measures. Consider the following options:
• Ignore, the ostrich ‘see-no-evil-hear-no-evil’ tactic;
• Accept, the potential impact of some risks may be deemed acceptable to
your organization;
• Reduce, e.g. the potential impact or probability of occurrence of a risk, like
the banking app;
• Transfer, use insurance or subcontracting to transfer potential consequences
of risk;
• Avoid , not entering the type of business that may incur potential risk impact
deemed too high;
• Exploit, risk is also an opportunity and high risk investments may yield high
returns.

28. The beauty of it all?
• Seize the opportunities of Mobile
• Minimize downside risk
