No one is immune from data security breaches. Numerous government and private entities—including household names that most people might assume have adequate security in place—have been the victim of breaches of one form or another, particularly in the past year. These include financial institutions, restaurants, retailers, federal and state government agencies, telecommunications companies, health care companies, the press, defense contractors, universities, and many others.1
At the heart of most breaches is unauthorized access. Who is accessing the company’s network? Do they have the right to be there? Do they have the right to do what they are doing? These are critical questions every organization must continually address. Answering them is the realm of identity management—an issue that is fast becoming a legal, technical, and public policy priority.
