How Can a Company Guarantee a Successful, Strategic Identity Access Management Program?
The Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit is right around the corner and leaders from all over the world will be coming to try to get this question answered. Here are a few ideas from our ten years in the industry.
Strategic Identity and Access Management (“IAM”) projects can be difficult and the new challenges with mobile, social, and cloud compound the problem. Protecting the perimeter is not enough anymore. Safeguarding identities are the key to a truly secure enterprise.
The industry has seen way too many train wrecks with IAM. To get beyond basic capabilities and really use IAM systems as a foundation for strategic IT, a company MUST take the time up front to consider the long-term plan. Near-term, immediate priorities can be solved with client-based single sign-on, basic provisioning, simple roles and audit reports. But with a short-term (and maybe short sighted) plan, a company can just as easily limit their ability to solve more complex problems.

Best Practices for Protecting Payment Card Data (PCI) to help ensure compliance and reduce risk.
Event Overview
News headlines about the increasing frequency of stolen information and identity theft have focused awareness on data security and privacy breaches—and their consequences.
Payment card use is widespread today. Along with growing global use, the industry has experienced a troubling increase in incidents of financial fraud. In response, the leading payment card companies
worked together to develop a set of technical and operational requirements designed to protect cardholder data, commonly referred to as PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
Recent high profile data thefts, along with industry statistics, indicate significant work remains to be done in most organizations to implement PCI DSS.
Topics to be covered:
•Current trends, issues and concerns around sensitive data security
• PCI and the changing Threatscape
• Looking beyond the compliance checkbox
• The future of the PCI-DSS
• What can be done to harden defenses against the exploitation of privileged users, unauthorized access and information-related vulnerabilities
•How to create a centralized data security platform
