Federal ICAM systems are a primary target for cybercriminals.
To combat this threat, the federal government is undertaking a massive transformation from on-premises to a cloud-first infrastructure. This transformation requires a radical change in how we view Identity, Credentials, and Access Management ICAM systems as they becomes the foundation for how we secure both cloud and on-premises data and applications.
The perimeter security model no longer applies. Point solutions and multiple identity stores are no longer sufficient to properly secure identity data. Federal agencies must also comply with new requirements as they upgrade their ICAM requirements and move to the cloud.
