« When Will We Measure Consumer Security Confidence? | Main | Simplifying for Security's Sake »

This question recently arose on Eric Norlin's CSO blog and is definitely worth considering.

Many believe that we are still waiting for the 'big bang' to happen in IAM, a term Phil Becker coined referring to the seminal event from which everything that comes after derives. In terms of the PC, one would definitely have to include the McIntosh and it's introduction of the graphic interface (as the OS made the computer usable, the GUI made the PC wildly popular).

Norlin states that for the past five years, most folks in identity have been thinking about IAM as a function of risk management and cost reduction, which in essence are limitations. But what exactly can identity management enable?

So what will be the graphic interface of IAM? I don't know the answer to that question, but I sure hope it comes soon.
