Blockchain technology has gradually penetrated into IAM area to create a platform that would secure individual identities from being stolen or becoming victims of various fraudulent activities. Businesses have incorporated blockchain technology into IAM to deal with issues of authentication and authorization. Blockchain technology provides a decentralized and reasonably secure way to store and verify the proof of identifiers for identities. Blockchain technology in IAM systems help users to create, prove, and register their own identity and related identifiers to make use of digital services. Blockchain-enabled IAM systems in organizations would assist in reducing the operational risks and costs by eliminating the need for siloed or replicated identity repositories and data. However, the broad adoption of blockchain technology in IAM requires the open-source availability, simple financial models, adherence to privacy by design, and acceptable user experience.
Identity and access management is continuously evolving across various critical functions like authentication, and data security to meet privacy compliance requirements. AI and machine learning in IAM are expected to be a growing trend. Artificial intelligence in identity management is expected to revolutionize security beyond people, places, and things as the increasing number of devices and systems will communicate with and learn from one another without human intervention. It provides contextual insights to both technical and non-technical employees, enabling them to work more efficiently. IAM vendors have started adding behavioral data analysis through machine learning to improve security tactics. For instance, machine learning can analyze user login attempts and detect suspicious behavior such as password guessing. Similarly,, Ping Identity, an American software company, uses AI-driven analysis to monitor an organization's application programming interface (API) activity. Thus, artificial intelligence and machine learning are making a big impact on the security industry. Identity access management solution vendors have identified these technologies as big opportunities in the coming years.
“Growing Security Concern Among Organizations to Boost the Growth”
The growing number of internal as well as the external threats has pushed organizations to implement a robust identity and access management security baseline. It has become an integral part of all the business. IAM solutions enable enterprises to boost employee productivity and bolster their overall security. It helps organizations to identify policy violations and remove inappropriate access privileges without impacting the multiple distributed systems. Moreover, it assists IT professionals with a consistent method for managing user access by consolidating authentication and authorization functionality on a single platform. Using a single IAM platform to manage all user access allows administrators to perform their work more efficiently. Moreover, IAM business intelligence and identitying analytics improve risk management and strategic decision-making ability.
“Increasing Awareness of Regulatory Compliance to Drive the Market Growth”
Identity and access management solutions are implemented by companies to regulate and mitigate cybercrime, ensuring that the right people get access to the right things. Identity and access management solutions can be used to meet numerous compliance requirements. For instance, if an organization is audited and has a reliable IAM program, it can easily prove that it has measures to mitigate the risk of data being stolen or misused. It also helps to meet specific criteria associated with various regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GBLA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), North-American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI), and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Furthermore, compliance and corporate governance concerns is expected to continue to be major drivers for IAM spending. The IAM solution eases the burden of compliance and creates a highly secure environment for the organization.
“Risk Associated with Identity and Access Management May Hamper the Market Growth”
Implementation of identity and access management tools or platforms requires all the authorizations and credentials to be stored in one centralized place. If not stored securely, it can be a huge risk as an attacker can gain access to the system, thereby hacking all the digital identities. Additionally, converting resources of an existing legacy system into IAM is challenging, expensive as well as time-consuming. Moreover, even though the cloud-based system has numerous benefits, it has some issues associated with the security of the stored data. The identified security issues are credential protection, data breaches, hacked interfaces and APIs, account hijacking, malicious insiders, DoS attacks and shared technology issues
“Provisioning Segment to Account for Maximum Share”
Based on the component, the global IAM market is segmented into provisioning, directory services, single sign-on, password management, advanced authentication, and audit, compliance, and governance. Among these, the provisioning segment held the largest market share in 2018 owing to its vast functionalities, which involve the entire lifecycle, including changing roles and retiring user accounts across all systems. For instance, OneLogin, the identity management provider, offers multi-account, multi-role single sign-on solution for Amazon Web Services (AWS) access management. This solution provides real-time active directory integration and automates user provisioning, thereby enhancing AWS administrator productivity.
“Cloud Segment to Hold the Largest CAGR During Forecast Period”
On the basis of deployment, the global identity and access management market is bifurcated into cloud and on-premises. The cloud is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. The cloud-based IAM solutions provide a single access control interface, enhanced security, and resource-level access control. Additionally, It assists in maintaining the compliance of processes and procedures.
“Large Enterprises Augments Largest Market Share”
By organization size, the market is segmented into small & medium enterprises (SMEs) and large enterprises. Among these, large enterprises held more than half of the market share in 2018 and is expected to continue to hold significant share during the forecast period. In large enterprises, around 70% of breaches begin with stolen or weak privileged credentials. To combat this issue, large enterprises have started adopting robust IAM solutions to add a layer of protection to their credentials as well as assets and enhance business productivity.
