There are 600+ here at this unique conference. This is the 4th event and the market forces of compliance, criminal activity on the net and consumer concerns are bringing identity management to the forefront. It is a well run event with a trade show floor in the center of the atrium of the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco. Our focus is to understand the role that biometrics may play but it is clear that a much larger forces are shaping the identity market dynamics. Having been to five biometrics conferences, this is a cold shower of a totally different aspect of the need for security. Identity management, in many respects, is at the center of logical access. Thus, we are seeing the very early development of the logical access market. As in biometrics, this market is chaotic and shaped by impulse forces. Here it is clear this centers on compliance of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). As one booth conversation netted – the enterprise sector having just completed the first round of compliance with SOX businesses are anxious to get compliance under control and identity management is a critical factor.
