Question

In the Project from the previous unit, you identified a gap related to identity and access management. Identity and access management is an important area in your organization where the "current state" falls well below the "desired state." If the problem is not addressed, it may cause security concerns by allowing unauthorized entities access to the organizational network. It may also result in denying access to authorized users.

To prepare for the Project in this unit, refer to "The Process" in section 11.1 of the Brotby text.

Write a paper presenting a strategy for achieving the desired state for identity and access management at your organization. Using the examples in the textbook as a guide, address each of the 10 steps involved in the strategy development process with respect to this particular scenario.

Address the following points in your response:

Briefly describe the "Current State" (from your analysis in the previous unit of the Project).

Clearly explain and justify the "Desired State" from CMM level 4 that you feel your organization needs to achieve in order to better protect data or meet compliance objectives.

Explain why you consider this particular area important from the perspective of achieving security and business objectives.

Develop three control monitoring and metrics to evaluate the efficacy of your strategy.

Describe the high-level team you need; involve your security team, subject matter experts, and other stakeholders to develop and formulate a plan to close this gap.
