Identity platforms like ForgeRock are the backbone of an enterprise, with a view of all apps, identities, devices, and resources attempting to connect with each other. This also makes them perfectly positioned to gather rich log identity data to use for preventing data breaches.

The common analogy for protecting computer networks has typically been that of the castle, complete with big walls and surrounding moat. Though this is a good one, the growth and innovation in security technology, including the Zero Trust Model, add complexities. Let’s take a look and see if the analogy still stands.  

Have you ever run into a situation where you know exactly what you have to do to solve the problem but can’t do it? No, I’m not talking about fixing the last season of Game of Thrones. For those running legacy identity and access management (IAM) systems, the decision to modernize isn't so much about whether there is a problem but rather how to go about solving it.

I recently had the chance to do a podcast with my friend and colleague Tommy Cathey, ForgeRock RVP of Public Sector. Tommy and I have worked together for years, and I am thrilled that he is bringing his deep public sector knowledge to ForgeRock (and this podcast). In this podcast with Statescoop, we discussed how the State of Utah and other government agencies are cutting operating costs while improving citizen services & security through a consolidated IAM project.

With the fast-paced nature of business and technology today, you need to ensure that you’re not only able to meet all your current requirements, but those to come. So, where to begin?
