Future of Identity

"The future of identity is not the same as the future of IAM; IAM is a technological reaction to the broader identity environment." — Akif Khan, VP Analyst, Gartner

In this episode of the Gartner Futures Lab Podcast, host, Marty Resnick, sits down with Gartner Vice President Analyst, Akif Khan, about the future of “identity” with a focus on a broad lens using Gartner’s Tapestry Framework and thinking beyond just the technological implications from just an identity and access management (IAM) perspective. Some of the key points discussed include:

• Identity is not limited to technology; it is a societal construct.
• Political, social and regulatory factors significantly impact the future of identity.
• Technology is perhaps the least interesting or the least influential of the forces that shape the future of Identity.
