Register now. Is "Bring Your Own Identity" a security risk or advantage? The “Bring Your Own Identity” (BYOID) trend in which websites let users authenticate using identities established through Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Amazon, Microsoft Live, Yahoo or other means raises some questions in the minds of IT and business managers. And a survey conducted by Ponemon Institute shows a vast difference in how the IT and business sides think about this so-called BYOID method of authentication.Ponemon asked 1,589 IT and security practitioners and 1,526 business staff personnel, many of them in managerial roles, about what they thought about BYOID and whether it could be used to simplify online authentication for everyone from employees to contractors to retirees to website customers or mobile customers. Both the IT and business sides said they considered BYOID as a way to simplify interactions with customers on the web and mobile devices. Both sides saw it as a way to make registration of new customers easier for them and the organization, plus possible cost reduction related to forgotten passwords and other sign-in problems. But beyond that, the IT and business personnel had differing perspectives about BYOID.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: HP Why you need a next-generation firewall This white paper explores the reasons for implementing NG firewalls and lays out a path to success for overburdened IT organizations.
