This session will explain how to leverage your technology investments to achieve sustainable compliance processes and controls. It will discuss the ways Identity and Access Management drives regulatory compliance by managing and automating the business procedures supporting a myriad of capabilities, including user / role provisioning, password management, and access management to proprietary and confidential data / resources.

In this session, you will learn:

The top 10 IT-related design control deficiencies
Key security tools and solutions that drive compliance
The evolution of compliance controls
The key to successful compliance automation
A company that achieved the ultimate goal of compliance: Improved Business Performance
