The importance of identity
Mar 22nd, 2017 by Jesper Kråkhede
Sometimes I have time to sit down and reflect on the world and try to look a bit further than the following meetings of the week. Having had a number of discussion with my clients it is very obvious that different cloud services is the future, be it IAAS, PAAS or SAAS. During those discussions I´m often asked how security will change.
This is not a simple answer to give as there is not a simple answer. Looking at IAAS there is no large changes, the standard mechanisms are still valid. However… taking GDPR into account different encryption systems will be important to develop. The same goes for PAAS and possibly SAAS.
But the most important thing will be the identity. We must start to use strong identities all over. We must start to use 2FA and verify all our users. The attacks that we see will focus more and more on the identity and with louse security surrounding the identity my clients will lose the battle.
