Health and civilian agencies see major benefits from ICAM solutions, a pillar of zero trust, when protecting IT systems from phishing scams and fraudsters.

Your developers need to be thinking of building a DevSecOps pipeline not just a DevOps pipeline, and combining ICAM into the security posture of the organization.” “The ICAM that we use now is secure access digital identity (SADI), and migrating to that should be relatively comfortable because taxpayers likely already use their phone to access apps. ICAM integration has also highlighted data management challenges for the IRS due to the large volume of tax returns and other documents the agency processes every year. “As we continue to mature in this area, I think that we will grow better in our concept of what counts as an identity. As HHS develops more robust user profiles over time, the agency is trying to figure out how to integrate ICAM into all of its systems. “If we can continue to protect accounts with strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) options, including phishing-resistant MFA, we can have a better user experience and achieve higher success rates for the general users,” Henderson said.
