RBAC Saves Money

RTI International recently published a report on the impact of RBAC for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The study, which includes input from SailPoint's CTO Darran Rolls, quantified economic benefits and costs, estimated the adoption of RBAC over time, and reviewed broader issues in identity management. The reported economic benefits include: more efficient management of system access; lower unproductive employee time due to more efficient access management; and more efficient maintenance and documentation of system access.

"Looking at IAM as a process has several advantages. First, it removes the product-centric pattern the market has placed on IAM. Rather than looking at IAM as a set of products to be purchased to fill technology gaps in an organization, viewing IAM as a process attempts to identify where people and IAM technology can be most effectively "inserted" to fulfill the practices and policies of the enterprise. It contributes in a significant way to how enterprise (and security) architecture is enriched with the addition of IAM-specific architecture."
