Is your identity management strategy likely to last more than 18 months?
Identity management has become a complex field. Perhaps too complex. You may be trying to combat identity fraud, lower the total cost of ownership of security technology, and comply with a host of new regulatory requirements, while actually accelerating the shift to online business with your customers, partners and staff. Most organisations are caught somewhere between analysis paralysis and jumping off too soon onto a product bandwagon with an unknown outlook.
Lockstep Consulting offers independent research, analysis, advice, strategy and policy, to help organisations break through the identity management challenge. Lockstep specialises in
- authentication
- identity management
- smartcards
- PKI, and
- privacy.

He is a widely respected writer and commentator on all issues relating to digital identity.
