Security solutions are designed with the focus on Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability (CIA). But focusing on CIA alone limits the ability to fully communicate the value of IAM to the business. Your identity program should be agile in adopting new cybersecurity approaches like Zero Trust.
In the whitepaper Delivering Business Value Through a Well-Governed Digital Identity Program, we show how Digital Identity and Access Management (IAM) programs can deliver value and help meet business objectives through an attribute-based approach. We also discuss the necessary framework for identity governance programs and how to create a governance structure for delivering expected outcomes to the business.
Digital identity is central to conducting business in a digital world. A sound digital Identity and Access Management (IAM) capability is critical to operating securely in an increasingly online environment. An effective and successful IAM program requires both agility and strong governance to ensure that current business needs are met, and are also flexible enough to meet future business needs while reducing time to value.
New IAM approaches such as “zero trust” require a solid foundation built around the three pillars of IAM: identity governance and administration (IGA), privileged access management (PAM), and access management (AM).

A well-defined governance framework is essential to achieving these objectives.
By identifying key stakeholders early and the defining program ‘attributes’, IAM practitioners can maximize commitment and buy-in from all business groups, which is critical in creating a mature IAM program. Defining program attributes can facilitate:
