Ian has posted his thoughts on RSA -- and is focusing on the problem of policy management. Quoting:
Combining some trends I have seen in the market and reflecting on my post about Yet Another Management, I think it is time to highlight another problem with the P word - the management of policy. Quick, vendors, count how many policy management interfaces you have? I spent last week asking a variety of vendors how many different policy management interfaces they have for their products. I think the average for a decent sized identity management vendor is around 5. (One vendor told me of over 10 different policy management interfaces for their suite of products.)
Customers are being overwhelmed with different policy tools. Multiple policy management interfaces from multiple vendors. This wouldn't be so bad if:
All of the tools could link back to some overall IT Governance policy management system.
They talked to each other.
They used consistent names for their operations and subjects.
Of course I realize the effort required to address the previous points is huge and would require monumental work among competing vendors. But, playing the long game, we as an industry are going to have no other choice. We have to keep in mind that no one is in business solely to learn how to use a myriad of policy management interfaces; they are in business to fly planes, manage people's money, provide healthcare, etc. I have started to see the market, especially the mid-market, begin to push back against adding more and more policy tools into their environment. I don't think the villagers are at the gate with pitchforks and torches yet, but they are starting to grumble in local bars. Around mid-2007 I think the villagers will reach the gates, demanding unified policy tools that use consistent language throughout. We had better start working on this now.
Standards-based policy management? Is policy the proprietary arena which vendors are using to extract value and differentiate product sets?
Good questions, all.
Look for more thoughts from RSA, as Phil and I recount our experiences over the coming week...
