Sifers-Grayson is
growing and everyone here should feel an enormous sense of pride and
accomplishment in this fact. However, this expansion is driving certain
changes, especially in the sphere of Identity Governance and
Administration (IGA). Defining IGA is most easily accomplished by
listing the three most important aspects of the idea as defined by
Gartner. First, an IGA solution should “Manag(e) identity and access
life cycles across multiple systems in a heterogeneous environment.”
Second, IGA tools aggregate and correlate disparate identity and access
rights data that is distributed throughout the IT landscape to enhance
control over user access.” Finally, an “IGA is the central technology
that manages the information about identities, accounts and
entitlements.” (Rowling, 2016) All of these factors of an IGA solution
are important in their own right, however the entire idea boils down to
information security. Who is accessing information? Why are they
accessing the information? How are they accessing the information?As this expansion truly becomes more and more a reality, these
questions will become more and more difficult to answer and consequently
more challenging to defend to potential customers. The truth is that
future business will depend on Sifers-Grayson’s ability demonstrate to
clients that we can maintain the highest levels of information security.
Our current paper-based system will not withstand the scrutiny
associated with the elevated concerns of clients like the Department of
Defense (DoD) and as such we must invest in a IGA solution that will
live up to those expectations.As Sifers-Grayson emerges from being a “Family” engineering house, concepts like separation of duties and least privilege will
come more and more into play. In other words, no every employee of
Sifers-Grayson requires access to every shred of information the company
holds. An individual in finance does not need access to sensitive
robotic schematics to effectively manage payroll. Likewise, a robotics
engineer does not need access to payroll structures to efficiently
design a circuit. Every employee of Sifers-Grayson must be provided the
correct amount of access to do his or her job effectively and no more,
or in other words – least privilege. (Miller, 2016)The DoD which is rapidly becoming a significant customer, also
requires that information be handled in a manner commiserate with its
level of sensitivity. While this briefing will use the DoD as an
example, Sifers-Grayson will need to begin handling all information,
either self or customer generated, in accordance to sensitivity
guidelines. The DoD specifically and by extension, Sifers-Grayson,
treats information by three main classification levels in escalating
levels of sensitivity: Confidential, Secret and Top Secret. (Quist,
1993) While this brief is not intended to be a primer on handling of
classified information, it does provide an example of how future
contracts will depend on Sifers-Grayson’s ability to classify data and
correctly assign ownership of that data. Both concepts of classification
and data ownership will serve to compartmentalize data thus rendering
it more secure.These challenges are not insignificant and will require increased
levels of dedication from all departments, but as we have demonstrated
by achieving this milestone we are up to the task. Stay tuned for
additional briefs and specific IGA solution reviews coming in the near
future.
