Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Change is \u2018inevitable\u2019 in Technologies. New technologies will be arising every here and then. Few years ago, Internet of Things<\/strong> was the \u201cNext big thing\u201d. It had wide possibilities: millions of device objects were to be connected to the Internet and interconnected under the supervision of human beings. For enterprise, data accumulation and human supervision of those devices to improve people\u2019s lives. But today the scenario has changed, the experts have started having concerns about technical, business and security approach from Internet of Things (IoT) to Identity of Things (IDoT). Regardless of whom you talk to, nobody denies that IDoT will be the next big \u201cthing\u201d.<\/p>\n

The early adopters of Internet of Things (IoT)<\/a> have left behind Identity and access management (IAM)<\/strong>. Now, many big organizations are struggling to deal with the consequences. Any successful IoT implementations will have complex relationships to people, things, and services, and capable of sustaining and secure method for delivering operational value from device led solutions, is to enable firm Identity across all touch points and interactions.<\/p>\n

As per the recent Gartner Research forecasts that over 20 billion IoT devices will be in use worldwide by 2020<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Why IoT requires IAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

IoT has reached a stage where consent and control over the devices and data is critical to the further success. The solution must offer a set of identity controls that properly govern who has access to what, when and why. In the identity world, these controls are the well-known concepts of authentication and authorization. In device-based identity management for IoT provides a range of benefits in the form of device management, predictive failure management, and automation.<\/p>\n

Gartner predicts by 2020, more than 25 percent of identified attacks in enterprises will involve IoT, although IoT will account for less than 10 percent of IT security budgets.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
