(InfoWorld) - Thereâs a common nightmare haunting CISOs (computer information security officers) that features a glance at the morning paper, and 72-point banner headlines with the name of their employer and the words âLOSTâ and âCUSTOMER DATA.â Thereâs no question about it: protecting customer and employee data is one of the thorniest problems facing enterprises today. Last week, Oracle took a swing at solving that problem, announcing the Identity Governance Framework, an initiative to develop specifications for sharing identity data across heterogeneous applications. The project has the support of identity and access management (IAM) vendors Ping Identity, Sun Microsystems, and Securent, as well as CA and Novell, according to Amit Jasuja, vice president of product development for Oracleâs security and identity management products. Problems such as lost data on laptops and identity theft point to the need for overarching standards that govern all the sensitive data squirreled away in data repositories across an enterprise, such as human resources, customer relationship management and custom-built internal applications, he said. IGF addresses that problem by establishing a governance model that allows organizations to create âcontractsâ between applications and repositories of identity data. The model would cover how data flows within an enterprise and outside the enterprise to supply chain or business partners, he said. Because the framework came together quickly, the real value of IGG will be determined in the coming weeks and months, as Oracle and its partners work to develop the specifications and transfer them to a standards group such as OASIS or the Liberty Alliance to manage, Bowen said. âItâs a good first step. It will get us closer to the goal line,â said Don Bowen, director of identity integration at Sun. âWill it get us into the end zone? I donât know.â

IBM on Wednesday released the 5.0 version of its Tivoli Identity Manager (TIM) software, in what the company called the product&#39;s first major update in more than 2.5 years.TIM 5.0 is used to manage user access rights and password information. It automates new account setups, offers users the ability to reset their passwords without an assist from a help-desk employee, and monitors for unauthorized changes.A major focus of the update is speeding up deployment. The product features a range of guidelines, wizards, and templates that can cut deployment times in half, claimed Joe Anthony, program director of identity management for Tivoli.However, administrators who desire the most fine-grained control over user access will still have it, according to Anthony. &quot;We did not take those capabilities away from the administrator. If in a given area they need more capabilities, it is very easy to gain access to those capabilities,&quot; he said.Matt Hickmott of Watson SCS, an identity- and access-management consultancy based in Tampa, Fla., was a beta tester on the 5.0 release. &quot;I think the new functionality is very good,&quot; he said.IBM&#39;s claim about reduced deployment time rings true, according to Hickmott. &quot;It&#39;s probably about half. A lot of the customizations you used to do are already built in,&quot; he said.Hickmott did single out one area of weakness, noting that the product&#39;s self-service user interface resides on the TIM 5.0 server. &quot;Ideally, you&#39;d have that outside TIM so people don&#39;t have access,&quot; he said.Pricing for TIM 5.0 varies depending on the number of users managed or on a per-processor basis, with prices starting at about $10,000 per company installation, a company spokesman said.
