"As organizations move toward cloud platforms and SaaS delivery mechanisms, we believe that the same security infrastructure and GRC capabilities offered by identity and access management technologies will be extended to these next-generation computing platforms," said Sally Hudson, research director, Identity and Access Management, at IDC. "IAM technologies will play a central role in offering security and compliance to cloud environments."
