The document discusses the evolution of identity and access management (IAM) in the 21st century and beyond. It outlines how the rise of cloud computing, mobile computing, and social computing have expanded the scope of information security and IAM. The document argues that IAM needs to become more agile and connected to address modern business challenges and enable success. It envisions a future where users control their identities and personal information across different contexts and personas. An example is provided of how a single identity could have separate legal, professional, social, and patient personas. The document calls for open collaboration to develop IAM solutions that can work on a global scale.

8. So where are we actually Today?
• IAM in most companies is a fragmented non-core process
• There is a growing awareness that IAM needs to be (re)Adressed in
the right way
• Acceptance that IAM is a potential business enabler
• BUT we are moving very very slow

10. My vision for the future of IAM
•
•
•
•
The Internet had DNS
The Internet of Things needs IPS (Identity Provider Service)
The user will be in control of their identity
An Identity will have multiple Personas depending on the task they
perform
• An entity can consume a persona after the user has approved this,
and the user can revoke the access.

12. How can we get there?
• Open Source Development Reacts to global requirements and often
quicker than others.
• A global collaborative effort is needed
• There needs to be a read-line in development
• We have to think IAM on a global scale!
