Identity as the Perimeter

In a Cloud World Identity is the Perimeter.

Agencies are poised to embrace the benefits of a modern cloud solution faster than ever before. However, there is a potentially disastrous challenge when trying to bridge legacy on premise solutions with tools not purpose built for a smooth transition to the cloud. When we apply the security strategy of the past (walls, rules and excessively complicated passwords) we unintentionally create roadblocks to getting the job done for agency employees. So, employees create unorthodox ways to simplify the complex, circumventing the mote we've built around our systems. What can be done to unite security and simplicity, support mission achievement and make embracing the benefits of cloud a reality? To do this we need a fundamental shift in IT, moving the perimeter to purpose built identity.
