The ability to be able to control identity and access rights is a critical component for ensuring the security of devices communicating within the Internet of Things. \u00a0But Gartner says <\/a>that today’s identify and access rights management (IAM) tools are inadequate for handling the scale and complexity of identity management that the IoT will bring. \u00a0Within an IoT framework, identity management will expand to include not only people, but also systems and the things that people own, share and use.<\/p>\n

Earl Perkins<\/a>, research vice president at Gartner,\u00a0said that\u00a0“identity and access management leaders must reconsider how traditional approaches to cybersecurity and identity and access management work in a world where devices and services are so abundant, in so many different forms and positioned at so many different points within the IT ecosystem… ”<\/p>\n

Ant Allan<\/a>, research VP at Gartner, said that\u00a0“the Identity of Things<\/a> (IDoT) requires a new taxonomy for the participants in IAM systems. \u00a0People, software that makes up systems, applications and services, and devices will all be defined as entities and all entities will have the same requirements to interact.”<\/p>\n

Earl added that “existing identity data and policy planning give IAM leaders and technology service providers (TSPs) a narrow view of entities leading to a static approach that does not consider the dynamic relationships between them. However, the concept of dynamic relationships is vital to the success of future IAM solutions. In fact, the concept of the relationship will become as important as the concept of identity is for IAM in the IDoT. It allows the IDoT to exist and become part of new responsibilities for IAM in the enterprise.”<\/p>\n
