Topic

Managing Access Risk – Controlling the Identity Lifecycle

Nick Holland

Executive Editor, ISMG

In the age of cloud and IoT, identity and access management are becoming mission critical for a successful cybersecurity strategy. But visibility, security and governance of all of your users including privileged accounts is an onerous task given today’s connected environment and consequent expanded attack surface. How do you fully manage privileged access in such a complex and increasingly decentralized landscape? How do you deal with regulatory compliance throughout the customer lifecycle as roles and privileges change over time?

If you’re looking for new answers to these questions, then join ISMG’s Nick Holland for an exclusive roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering thoughts on how they have been able to help their organizations rethink their own identity and access management strategy.

Discussion topics will include:

Why is provisioning and de-provisioning identities so problematic today?
What are the repercussions of users being over privileged?
How do you articulate the need for identity management tools to C-level executives?
How do you encourage buy in from employees to adopt secure identity and access management policies?
How can technology help mitigate identity risk better?

Joining Nick to provide expert insight and case studies is Dana Reed, Distinguished Sales Engineer for SailPoint, and Michael Marino, Global VP of Solution Engineering for CyberArk.
