IAM broadly refers to a comprehensive set of solutions used to identify users in a system (e.g., employees, customers, contractors) and to control their access to resources within that system by associating user rights and restrictions with the established identity. According to a new research “Identity and Access Management Market Forecast to 2012” by RNCOS, various regulatory compliance issues surrounding Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and European Union Data Protection Directive are forcing organizations to deploy IAM solutions worldwide.
Additionally, the Payment Card Industry’s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has significantly impacted the companies across the entire industry, forcing them adopt a single set of requirements for cardholder data protection. Further impetus for organizations to comply with these regulations includes personal liability and the threat of criminal and/or civil penalties.
According to the report, the global IAM market is projected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 23% during 2009-2012. Nearly two-third of this growth will be driven by international regulatory compliances as the need to comply with specific regulations will push organizations to look for IAM and related solutions to help solve security issues, as determined by company size, revenue and vertical industry compliance demand.
