ISSA's Latest Webcast: Identity Life-Cycle Management - Automating Procedures to Mitigate Security Incidents

Sponsored by CA

Now Available: Click Here to Attend

With ever growing population of users and the need to access a myriad of applications, organizations are constantly under pressure not only to provide user satisfaction but more importantly to comply with security regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Organizations are finding that identity management solutions demystify the complexity associated with appropriately tracking and accounting for user authentication across systems. Furthermore, they are finding that these same solutions enable them to realize cost savings, improve user experience, and increase overall operational efficiency of corporate policies.

This webcast will discuss why organizations are shifting towards automated user privilege processes for their employees, partners and customers, and how such solutions can secure the corporate assets and comply with regulatory standards. Additionally, when faced with such challenges, case studies will show how organizations have deployed and benefited from solutions offered by identity management platforms.

You will leave this webcast understanding:

How operational efficiency can be achieved by automating the user privileges
How enterprises can benefit from successful deployment of IAM technologies and solutions
How ROI can be realized while improving user satisfaction and conforming to regulatory standards
How security can be increased through the standardization of user roles
