Identity Week America - Day 1 @ 10:05
Reactive or roactive? Why the architecture matters
Historically, both cyber and identity security systems have been designed to react to known threats, rather than proactively prevent the next threat. But is this wise? Has that orientation actually worked? It would appear that cyber attacks, breaches, hacks, frauds and other identity-related problems have grown, seemingly unencumbered, despite a massive economic investment in systems claiming to mitigate them. In fact, it's the reactive nature of these systems that enables the next attack to go unnoticed until after the fact. The dogma that identity data and biometric data must be bound to devices, rather than to each other, might help device manufacturers sell future generations of devices, but it also forces the reactive nature of identity and cyber security. It’s the intentional separation of these attributes that enables the attacks that traditional architectures can only react to. In this presentation, Jay describes why a proactive system architecture, the proper binding between a verified identity, the human that identity describes, and the privileges that person is entitled to is the key to preventing the next cyber-identity attack.
