Do youconsiderSelf-serviceimportant and an area to focus? Self-service Do you have a Self-servicestrategy? Whatimplications do yousee and whatareyourmainconcerns?
In order to enableSelf-servicepeopleneedaccess Self-service A forgotten password leaves the userwithoutaccess, so consider password self-service as part of yourSelf-serviceinitiatives!
The Password Pain - Service Desk - Gartner analysts says that 20-50% of all Service Deskcallsare for password reset - Forrestersuggeststhat the averagecost for a single password resetcouldbe as high as $100 - FastPassCorp research indicatesanything from $25 - $147 Calls to IT Service Desk (Aberdeen Group)
The Password pain - user side - Forgottenor a lost password willleave the userun-productive – and frustrated! - Un-productivitycanbeextreemelycostly – and so – a password resetneedsseverity 1- So, what’s the price for a single password resetif the requirementbasically is 24*7? The average time to resolve a forgotten password requestwillvary from <½ hour to severaldays: - 25% of industry norm companiestakes >4 hours - 40% of industry norm companiestakes <1 hour
The security issue For a start – lets look at the nature of the password! - Used for (secure!) Identification (authentication) of users - Supposed to be private – ”For your eyes only” - One of three Identification methodologies: ”something you know””something you have” ”something you are” Jane45#jacobs§99124%
The security issue - continued The password reset proces – a double sided who-is-who - If passwords are ”for your eyes only” – what about person in the Service Desk (or the outsourced Service Desk)? Fact: 60-80% of IT crimes are insiderjobs! - Secure Identification of the user calling, and a secure password handover proces is a demand to accomodate compliancy initiatives ( SarbanesOxleyact, ISO 27001 etc.) Who is responsible??
