Vadim Lander, Oracle’s Chief Identity Strategist, recently published a compelling article in Web Security Journal entitled, “Five Steps Toward Achieving Better Compliance with Identity Analytics.”  He observes:

Enterprises are in the unenviable position of committing significant resources to compliance efforts with little assurance that they will prove successful.

Vadim recommends five steps toward more effectively leveraging identity analytics technology to assist enterprises in achieving robust identity compliance and remaining in compliance moving forward:

1. Become risk aware
2. Control privileged access
3. Automate remediation
4. Reduce the potential for audit violations
5. Take a platform approach to identity management

An excerpt from the conclusion:

Automation makes it possible to create sustainable, repeatable audit processes that enable the enterprise to address compliance in an ongoing manner without starting from scratch to address every new regulation or prepare for every audit.
