A recent Forbes feature, “The Year of the Mega Breach,” caught my attention last week. It includes a slideshow of 2009’s largest security breaches, and concludes that this year alone, more personal information was exposed through data breaches than ever before.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, two SailPoint customers presented case studies last Wednesday at the Gartner IAM Summit. Bravely taking on the 8 a.m. time slot (which was well attended for the early hour) was Andy Weeks, Risk and Compliance Manager for Humana.

Next week, I’ll be attending the Gartner IAM Summit in San Diego. It’s safe to assume that the state of the IAM/IdM market will be top of mind at the conference, so I thought I’d share my observations:
