Ep. 178 Akamai and Identity Management
Manage episode 447074274 series 3610832
Growth always brings challenges. In today’s episode, we talk about how the DoD can manage the challenge of development in several aspects of identity management.
Like most federal agencies, the DoD has made a move to the hybrid cloud; this alone adds to the complexity of the identification process. However, in addition to the 1.3 million active-duty service members, they must contend with reserves, DoD civilians, veterans, and many more. Oh, did we mention mobile?
The official designation of the process of validating identity is called Identity Credentialing and Access Management, or ICAM.
During this interview, experts from Akamai suggest:
>> Consider applying AI/ML to help analyze identity data.
>>> Fast Identity Online (FIDO) FIDO standards exist, and one can consider applying FIDO to simplify identity.
Akamai has worked with both Defense and Civilian agencies to enable technologies like CAC/PIV and YUBIkey. Further, their well-known enterprise access management gives them the ability to protect web applications as well as mobile devices.
Many organizations are tasked with managing millions of individuals. Very few are associated with capabilities that can have as serious consequences as the DoD.
