benefit too. From consolidating directories to automating
provisioning and rolling out single sign-on, these sessions

Smart
Shopper: IAM products
Speaker: Richard E. Mackey, principal, SystemExperts,
ISACA/CISM
One of the most difficult challenges organizations face is managing
the identities of employees, customers, partners, and services.
Companies invariably find themselves burdened with managing
identities from many different internal and external organizations
and controlling access to resources these identities use.
Historically, companies haven't been motivated to find a
centralized solution to this problem. However, with the increased
requirements of regulatory compliance like SOX, HIPAA, and GLBA,
many organizations have recognized that centralized management of
identity and access control is critical to their everyday
operations. This session looks at the capabilities of IAM systems
and how organizations are using them to meet their
requirements.
