Evolving Identity: More Thoughts on Cloud Identity
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2011/12/more-thoughts-on-cloud-identity.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Friday, December 9, 2011. More Thoughts on Cloud Identity. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to blog lately, as November was essentially a wash. First, we were left without power for a couple of weeks by the epic Halloween storm. Anyway, I'm back now. While catching up on my favorite blogs, this comment. 8220;One thing I have come to realize is that when I move my application to the cloud, all of the security of my...

Evolving Identity: Fired Up About the Kindle Fire
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2011/12/fired-up-about-kindle-fire.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Wednesday, December 21, 2011. Fired Up About the Kindle Fire. A couple of months ago, I wondered whether I had any use for a Kindle Fire. And concluded that while it was an intriguing device, I probably didn't need. I've owned an original iPad for over a year now, and use it mainly for watching movies on planes, reading eBooks on the Kindle app, playing Angry Birds. Streaming movie I have ever purchased from Amazon (usu...

Evolving Identity: Time To Kill RBAC In Order To Save It?
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2014/07/time-to-kill-rbac-in-order-to-save-it.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Sunday, July 27, 2014. Time To Kill RBAC In Order To Save It? I know this is a controversial position that will likely attract some fire from some of my peers in the IAM geek-space, so allow me to explain. There’s one major flaw with that theory. By design, role compositions and assignments tend to be static, but we now live in a world where privilege needs are not. The current standard for RBAC has remained mostly unch...

Evolving Identity: Do I really need the Amazon Kindle Fire?
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2011/10/do-i-really-need-amazon-fire.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Saturday, October 1, 2011. Do I really need the Amazon Kindle Fire? Okay, I admit it. I'm as much of a geek as the next person, so when I see something cool and new like the Amazon Kindle Fire. Tablet that was unveiled earlier this week, my first instinct is to say "I want one! There's no rationale behind it, no logic, just the primal instincts of a geek being drawn to a new bright, shiny object. The real long-term stra...

Evolving Identity: IAM is Not So Smart!
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2014/07/iam-is-not-so-smart.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Saturday, July 26, 2014. IAM is Not So Smart! Recently, I was cleaning out my den and came across a clunky old pager that felt like an ancient museum relic. Then I realized that I'd been using that thing as recently as 2003, just eleven years ago. This caused me to ruminate on how dramatically my working habits have changed over the past decade or so. All of those are great things. But under the hood, IAM is still a...

Evolving Identity: Gartner 2011 Magic Quadrant for IAG: Tight Competition in a Maturing Industry
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2011/12/gartner-2011-magic-quadrant-for-iag.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Monday, December 19, 2011. Gartner 2011 Magic Quadrant for IAG: Tight Competition in a Maturing Industry. As I've noted before, the maturation of identity management is driving a trend away from bottom-up identity administration tools, towards more holistic, governance-based solutions. Visionaries such as SailPoint have long anticipated this evolution and are ideally positioned to take advantage of it as organizatio...

Evolving Identity: The Evolution of IAM: From Gate Keeping to Corporate Governance
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2011/09/evolution-of-iam-from-gate-keeping-to.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Thursday, September 29, 2011. The Evolution of IAM: From Gate Keeping to Corporate Governance. Back when I was a young ankle biter taking my first tentative steps into the world of Identity and Access Management, it didn't even have a name. Admittedly, that was less than 15 years ago, but given how much IAM has matured in that time, it seems like much longer. That an identity management suite was a silver bullet that wo...

Evolving Identity: Do you have you head in the cloud?
http://evolvingidentity.blogspot.com/2011/09/do-you-have-you-head-in-cloud.html
Toby Emden's existential journey through the world of Identity and Access Management. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Do you have you head in the cloud? The IAM community isn't immune to the lure of faddish marketing terms. We often talk about "cloud based identity" or "identity in the cloud", as if we are describing revolutionary concepts. But context is important, because cloud-based identity can mean two very distinct things. The second definition of cloud-based identity is an entirely different matter...
