SPONSOR: Microsoft The Courion Connector Advantage White Paper TOPIC: eProvisioning Written/presented by: However, one of the challenges that companies are encountering is that, until now, the cost of expanding IAM coverage to more systems has been prohibitive. This limits their ability to bring those systems effectively under management and reap the benefits of IAM, including better security, improved regulatory compliance, lower IT overhead costs, and enhanced productivity. SPONSOR: Courion Guide to Claims-Based Identity and Access Control White Paper TOPIC: Identity management Written/presented by: The guide works progressively, with the simplest and most common scenarios explained first. It also contains a clear overview of the main concepts. Working source code for all of the examples can be found online (http://claimsid.codeplex.com). SPONSOR: Microsoft Securing Sensitive Information with Identity and Access Assurance Webinar TOPIC: Identity management Written/presented by: Identity and Access Assurance is a combination of business and information technology practices designed to ensure that only the right people have the right access to the right resources and are doing the right things. This white paper explains how Courion and RSA, The Security Division of EMC, address these challenges and provide best-of-breed solutions that deliver measureable business value. SPONSOR: Courion Identity and Information Security Integration White Paper TOPIC: OTHER Written/presented by: Jon Oltsik, Principal Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group ...covers the challenges IT professionals face because identity management and information security solutions were often procured, implemented, and managed independently with different tools, processes, and organizational units. SPONSOR: Courion The Need for Two-Factor Authentication at Enterprise Organizations White Paper TOPIC: OTHER Written/presented by: InfoWorld Two-factor authentication solutions provide an additional layer of protection for an organization's most sensitive data. While single layers and more vulnerable types of authentication factors, such as simple usernames and passwords, were once sufficient to authenticate a user's permission, those maliciously attempting to breach security measures have become increasingly sophisticated. As a result, organizations are finding that they need to exceed that sophistication with their security measures. Learn more about the results of this InfoWorld survey! SPONSOR: Verisign Privacy White Paper TOPIC: OTHER Written/presented by: Ian Glazer, Bob Blakley Privacy is not about data; it's about people. Privacy is not secrecy, and it is not about hiding information. Privacy is concerned with the proper handling of personal information and with respecting the dignity of the individual to whom the information refers. The fundamentally contextual nature of the use of personal information prevents us from formulating a single strict definition of "privacy." However, privacy principles accommodate this contextuality and guide the development of enterprise privacy practices that can reduce risk and cost. SPONSOR: Burton Group Role Based Access Control and Entitlement Management Slides TOPIC: Roles Written/presented by: The new Role-Based Access Control utilities provided by server vendors are enablers to enforcing entitlements down to the data and device level… but the ability to effectively provision, enforce, and audit these fine-grained controls across the diverse technology domains is still a significant challenge. SPONSOR: FoxT The evolution of strong authentication Towards a future of ubiquitous, secure digital identities White Paper TOPIC: Password management Written/presented by: Strong authentication technologies have long been used for providing an extra layer of assurance that an individual accessing computing resources is who they say they are. However, the cost of deploying and managing such systems, including the provisioning of hardware tokens and the strain on helpdesk resources dealing with lost tokens or forgotten passwords, has made their use expensive and complex. New authentication models, however, are changing all that. Key developments include next-generation authentication servers that automate all tasks involved, and services provided in the cloud. New authentication methods such as software, SMS and BlackBerry tokens are further taking the costs out of the use of strong authentication and opening up its use to a whole new range of possibilities. SPONSOR: Quocirca 7 Things About Federated Identity Management White Paper TOPIC: Identity Federation Written/presented by: Educause has published a quick guide to 7 things you should know about Federated Identity Management.

SPONSOR: Microsoft Reining In Sharepoint White Paper TOPIC: OTHER Written/presented by: This white paper outlines some best practices that have evolved to help protect SharePoint sites. It also describes the capabilities of Courion’s identity-aware solutions that enable IT administrators and security managers to locate, analyze and remediate SharePoint sites with users who hold access rights that are inconsistent with best practices, corporate policy, or regulatory requirements. SPONSOR: Courion Access Assurance: Ensuring only the right people have the right access to the right resources and ar White Paper TOPIC: Identity management Written/presented by: Access Assurance is a unique approach that ensures only the right people have the right access to the right resources and are doing the right things. This white paper defines the Access Assurance lifecycle and identifies three core components— Access Governance, Access Provisioning and Access Compliance—which enable companies with even the most complex, heterogeneous environments to increase operational efficiency and transparency, strengthen security and improve compliance, while delivering lower total cost of ownership. SPONSOR: Courion How Can Identity and Access Management Help Me with PCI Compliance White Paper TOPIC: Regulatory Compliance Written/presented by: PCI Compliance has become a business requirement for any company involved in the processing of credit card information. It requires strong security controls over all systems and applications that process or store cardholder information. These controls serve to manage vulnerabilities and to control access to all confidential information. PCI Compliance therefore requires comprehensive security across a range of systems and applications. CA Identity & Access Management (CA IAM) provides a comprehensive and proven solution for assuring PCI compliance, by ensuring the privacy of all confidential cardholder information. CA IAM provides strong control over access to all Web applications, systems, and data. SPONSOR: CA The Information Card Ecosystem: White Paper TOPIC: SSO Written/presented by: Craig Burton The emergence of a long-awaited digital identity layer for the Internet means the evolution from an identity model based on one-dimensional cookies and passwords to a new model based on two-dimensional Information Cards. These user-authorized packages of identity data are controlled and managed by a new software tool called a selector. The card/selector model gives rise to a new identity ecosystem of card providing sites (identity providers) and accepting sites (relying parties). It also ushers in a new capability—cross-site context sensitivity—that will quickly become an essential feature of next-generation browsing. The paper concludes by looking at the next steps in the evolution of this ecosystem, particularly how it will integrate and adapt to multiple identity protocols. SPONSOR: Information Card Foundation Roles-Based Access Governance: Methodology & Best Practices Webinar TOPIC: Roles Written/presented by: Brian Cleary, Vice President, Products and Marketing, Aveksa Although roles-based access control (RBAC) has been the subject of much interest in the past, companies are still dealing with the complexity of managing roles at the technical infrastructure level (applications & provisioning).
