2. Cloud based identity
management
user/guest user accounts, cloud =
user profiles, user roles, outside your own network
access control, rules,
policies, roaming control, service / cloud service
identity federation and provider, private cloud
policy control, customer network, but managed by
service usernames etc. someone else than you
your own network, their network,
your own effort, their effort,
your own problem, their problem,
your own costs service contract

3. Benefits for
identity service customers
• Managing, configuring, securing, developing and
problem solving, even end customer support is identity
service provider’s problem
• Contracts to handle security, service levels and
availability
• Makes it easier to concentrate into own service and
product development or production, not the
infrastructure configuration
• When the applications and services you use are already
in the cloud, should not your identity be there too?

4. Benefits for (cloud)
identity service providers
• One place, one interface, one infrastructure and
one service to be developed and maintained to
customers.
• Multiple customers utilising and paying for the
same service (without even additional work per
customer).
• Lower needs for customisation. A customisation,
which can be generalised can be turned to a
revenue creating service also for other customers.
• Stronger relationship with customer

5. Markets
• Gartner estimates Network Access Control
market size 221M$ (2008) with 51% growth
