Promising are also investments on IaaS side as well as the BPaaS side.

To securely bind users' identities or attributes to their computerised activities is indeed a technical challenge. In most conventional IDAM systems, there is only circumstantial evidence of who did what and when, in the form of access logs and audit trails, most of which can be tampered with or counterfeited by a sufficiently determined fraudster.

The latter seems to be the more successful strategy for BigData / IoT endeavours these days. But a valid perspective from an applications vendor.
