A read-only connection tells you what access exists. Governance requires the ability to change it. “Connected” is one of the most overworked words in identity. On a program status report, an application is either connected or it is not: a green checkmark or a gap to close. The binary is convenient. It is also misleading. Two applications

Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) reaches end-of-life in January 2029. Organizations relying on MIM face the end of support, rising technical risk, and shrinking access to expertise. But the bigger problem? Years of accumulated technical debt, custom scripts, brittle workflows, and often manual processes that were never built to scale. Replacing MIM isn’t just an IT
View from the Floor Identiverse 2025 is in the books! Lots of prep from our team this year to get ready for the conference. I hope everyone had a chance to visit and maybe take a turn around the track on our simulator. We had a lot of fun. I’m back home now and reflecting
Science Fiction I’m pretty sure many of you are aware, but I’m a big science fiction fan. Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Altered Carbon, Firefly, The Expanse, I could go on. I love the future look at humanity, how different authors see different parts of us magnified as we move towards a
Access is often one of those things we don’t think about—until it becomes a problem. A new hire joins the company and doesn’t have access to the systems they need. A manager tries to approve a request but doesn’t have the right permissions. An IT team struggles to delegate administrative tasks without over-provisioning access. In
Ah, Valentine’s Day—the time of year when hearts flutter, chocolates disappear faster than access logs, and grand gestures of love are on full display. But while some are busy planning candlelit dinners and composing heartfelt messages, those of us in Identity & Access Management (IAM) know that the real love story isn’t written in poetry—it’s
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about connectors and how our core identity applications get the information they need. It seems like loading the data has always been a problem, but we’re all kind of resigned to the way it is. So, I’ve been focusing on how Readibots connects to those applications- thinking about it,
From December 9-11, Grapevine, Texas transformed into the epicenter of identity and access management (IAM) innovation as industry leaders, analysts, and practitioners gathered for the Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit 2024. This year’s event highlighted the growing complexities of identity management in a world driven by digital transformation, multi-cloud adoption, and increasingly sophisticated cyber
A Chilling Tale of IGA Project Survival Cue the haunting organ music. Good evening, dear reader. The moon hangs low, casting eerie shadows through the empty corridors of your office. You’re alone in the conference room, the glow of the projector illuminating the ominous timeline of your IGA project. A sudden chill grips your spine.
One of the most common questions that you get when you’ve built an Identity Automation Platform is pretty basic, but it’s important: “Why?”. I mean, lots of folks do “provisioning” (important quotation marks there), so why add another to the mix? It’s a good question. It speaks to how effective marketing can be. If you
Star Trek is Cool. I don’t think it’ll shock many of you to know that I’m a Star Trek fan. Love the franchise, lots of favorite episodes and over a drink I’d be happy to debate which of the Star Trek movies or series is the best (or worst). You’re probably thinking what does Star

Complexities of IAM Imagine your provisioning system had to move 1000 employees a week in and out of all your systems to the tune of millions of operations every year. Do you think it could handle it? Not just cloud stuff – that’s cheating. The system must touch everything an employee would use, including anything
Modern life sometimes feels like too much. Too much to do, not enough time to do it, it seems to be the modern human condition. Technology was supposed to solve this for us of course. I mean, who doesn’t want a robot Jarvis that does all of the menial tasks for us so we can
Groups, we are told, make our lives simpler. Better. More secure. Everything should be managed by groups, so you can put users in them, and they get everything they need. This has been sage advice, retold around the security fires late at night for more than 20 years. So, if we’ve had more than 20
Tickets. So many tickets. Some tickets are great. Tickets for a night at the hockey game, or the theatre, or to a concert. Good tickets that mean fun things are about to happen. Not so great – IT tickets. These are tickets that mean “hey, here’s some work for you to do” or “here’s a
Failings of Existing IAM Data Management The commercial management of Identity and Access Management data is over two decades into its journey – from auth source provisioning and connector management through to access review and request management. Sometimes driven by compliance, nearly always sitting under IT operations and aiming to deliver productivity and efficiency savings.
