We are excited to be bringing this award-winning class back to Central Ohio! The course is starting to fill up, but there are plenty of seats left. We encourage you to register soonest.
Master Class:
Building an Enterprise-Strength Identity & Access Management Architecture
Light breakfast (coffee / Danish / fruit) , lunch and beverages to be provided.
Cost: $300
Discounted rate: $250 for members of (ISC)2 Central Ohio Chapter, ISSA, or ISACA if registered by 9-March.
Registration via PayPal, for Credit/Debit card, or can invoice for company check.
This class has been presented at a dozen International conferences, and the going rate is $750-900 and up, and was the top-rated course ever at the RSA Conference. You can attend this course locally at a substantial cost savings, and don't have to put up with a long plane flight in coach!
Here is what three past attendees had to say about this course:
"I learned more in the first 4 hours of this course than in a 3-day Identity course at Gartner (Conference)" - Director, Identity Systems, Global 100 healthcare
"This course was just what I needed to kick my Identity program into high orbit. I hadn't expected so much in just a day! Thanks guys!" - AVP Identity Architecture at a top US Bank
"Solid advice from experts who have fought the battle and know what works. I am glad I added this class to my conference, but now my brain hurts!" - Sr. Auditor, Big 4 consulting company
Abstract for the course, and bio for the class instructor:
Delivering on Identity & Access Management is becoming a
business imperative, as we are driven by sweeping regulations and
portal-based application integration to provide robust authentication
and authorization systems. Web Access Management SSO and portal technologies, multi-tenant distributed Cloud / Federated Identity, Privilege certification and audit, RBAC Provisioning and multi-factor authentication are becoming the norm, rather than bleeding-edge implementations. Further, getting Identity & Access Management implementation wrong can lead from simple issues, such as Martha not being able to login to her GL application, to severe issues causing financial losses and damage to an organization's reputation and brand when "nobody can log in".
Identity and Access Management requires holistic measures to address
provisioning, authentication, fine-grained authorization, identity
mapping, federation, metadata security, and fundamental issues of
identity integrity and integrity controls.
This full day Master Class will share lessons learned in several
major federation, single sign-on, identity and access management and
token implementations. We will not only cover the basics, but also
advanced lessons learned for implementation of advanced Identity &
Access Management components, as well as emerging issues in identity
requirements that will challenge old-school methodologies for
authentication, identity management and the future of federation, when everything is pushing to the cloud.
This highly interactive session will cover:
> Basic principles of Identity and Access Management (I&AM)
> Directory Services - enterprise, meta-directory and virtual
> Web-based Authentication / Web Access Management
> Provisioning, De-provisioning, and shortname collision management
> Identity Mapping and Roll-up
> Detailed Single Sign-on Strategies
> Federation & Cross-company Authentication (CCA) Architecture
> Self-service tools in the I&AM arena
> Access/Entitlement Audit and Certification
> Infrastructure architecture -- critical underlying processes to run a successful enterprise
> Case Study: Standards-based and proprietary implementations of Federated Identity
> Biometrics, Tokens, Knowledge-based proofs and other multi-factor authentication devices: basics, challenges and lessons learned
> Man-in-the-Middle attacks and token/multi-factor attacks
> Strategies for Identity Management implementation
> Governance & Compliance issues addressed by identity management
> Cost justification for investment, typical stakeholders, and getting buy-in
