Cloud Identity Summit Keynotes: Identity – the Enabler of Next
Andre Durand, CEO, kicked CIS 2013 (#cisNAPA) off with “Identity – the Enabler of Next” – and if I don’t entirely like where “next” is going, that’s not his fault. Anyway, I’ll share Andre’s 9 observations and 1 AHA moment coloured with the briefest of his commentary. I’ll offer some opinions then go on to the next two CIS 2013 keynote presentations in a follow up post.

#1 I’m growing attributes
|
As in linked in or connect.me socially verified attributes – everything that can verify us will be known in time
|
|
#2 I’m being CONNECTED
|
Who I know defines who I am
|
|
#3 I’m being WATCHED
|
For every identity enabled convenience there will be an equal and opposite privacy implication
|
|
#4 Even when watching, I’m being watched
|
If my identity can be exploited it probably will be
|
|
#5 My virtual world is invading my physical world
|
Everything around us is becoming smart
|
|
#6 My stuff is becoming tagged and traceable
|
Even my keys have keys, e.g. SquareTag
|
|
#7 It’s all about Location, Location, Location
|
Devices and location being used to strengthen authentication
|
|
#8 My personal and corporate clouds have gotten cozy
|
Hazardously intertwined

#9 My identity is converging around my phone
|
How long will I still need plastic id?
|
|
Aha moment
|
In the end it will all center around me and my device. Identity needs to be embedded between applications and the network.
Over the next 10 years enterprises will outsource identity
