Top security technology planning related to identity management

There's an interesting article over at eWeek on current and planned use of security technologies.

What were the top 5 areas that people were planning for or installing?

  1. Encryption for storing data and documents (22%)
  2. Digital signatures (22%)
  3. Digital identity management software (22%)
  4. Biometrics (21%)
  5. Federated identity management software (18%)

What the message in the numbers? Each one of these areas is related to identity management.

It appears that Rights Management with respect to documents and email is still not at the top of the list. I do think its integrally related to identity management as well. Too bad. I think getting this right could be a huge boon to many companies but the technology just doesn't seem to get driven the way it should, esp. from MS.
