Event Recap: The Future of ID Management – Public Sector Best Practices
Agencies experience a number of challenges in implementing effective identity management solutions, including regulatory requirements, resource limitations, balancing user experience with security needs, and integrating multi-cloud environments, etc. “A lot of clients come to us,” says Travis Griffith with Keeper Security, “and say, ‘we want something that is intuitive and that solves the problems that we need to solve which are lack of visibility, control, and compliance.’” He adds that “traditional layered cybersecurity solutions don’t stop data breaches” and when thinking about the critical nature of ID management and zero trust, “credentials are equivalent to control in your organization.” To address these challenges, DGI convened four experts to discuss the following and more:
- The State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service’s leadership in digital protection
- Zero Trust and ID management challenges and how they’re being addressed
- What kind of compliance or regulatory requirements make the biggest difference in cybersecurity or incidence response abilities
- Advice for agencies in the beginning stages of identity management
- NIST’s Digital Identity Guidelines
- Common challenges agencies have with NIST revisions and how to make the updates actionable
- How NIST plans to keep up with the rapid development of new cyber threats
- Primary vulnerability of legacy PAM and use cases of how the Zero-Trust KeeperPAM Platform addresses them
- How to move from legacy to Zero Trust
- DISA’s current activity on the ID management front and primary objectives for advancing it in 2025
- Lessons learned and best practices in putting the ICAM Hub together
