Security News > 2022 > February > Why identity and access management strategies need a booster

In this interview with Help Net Security, Miles Hutchinson, CISO of Jumio, talks about the pain points of identity and access management and the importance of strenghtening identity strategies.

The usual identity-related security issues and challenges organizations face are typically caused by outdated identity and access management solutions or a disjointed approach to identity verification, which can leave cracks and vulnerabilities in an organization's attack surface.

To combat today's emerging threats, security leaders must rethink their identity security strategies and approach online identity assurance holistically by consolidating identity verification services whenever possible.

With modern, end-to-end identity verification technology in place, it is less likely to have vulnerabilities in identity and IAM systems that hackers can exploit to gain access to sensitive internal data.

Making bold steps and big decisions on subjects where the associated risk may not be obvious to the board or the executive team is always a challenge for security teams to enjoy, but security teams really need to speak up, find their voice and help their businesses understand their identity management risks in context to the performance of their companies' goals.

Looking ahead, Bring Your Own Identity or identity wallets will enable users to select an assurance identity, to assert their identity when accessing separate organizations' digital assets.
