Five Keys to a Successful Identity and Access Management Implementation
A CA White Paper by Paul Engelbert, CA Services Global Security Practice

Abstract
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a core element of any sound security
program. But IAM is also difficult to implement because it touches virtually every end
user, numerous business processes as well as every IT application and infrastructure
component. As such, successful projects require input and cooperation from many
internal groups, an effort that can be difficult to organize.
Perhaps even more vexing,
IAM projects require a thorough understanding of the organization’s current business
strategy and security posture along with a clear vision of the desired security state and
the steps required to get there. Too often, organizations attempt to reach that end state
by implementing too much new technology at once, and fail to receive value from their
efforts in a timely manner. Many organizations also fail to educate end users and IT
personnel on the new technology and its impact on processes, and to perform the
routine maintenance and upgrades that can deliver maximum value on their IAM project.
