Last week, I was out in beautiful San Diego for the annual Burton Catalyst Conference. Despite the slow economy, the conference was very well attended – attesting to the attendees’ level of interest and quality of information delivered by Burton. This year’s identity track was kicked off by Bob Blakley, who talked about the evolutionary changes [...]

Building on Mark’s post from earlier this week, I want to add that I think the industry needs to get out of the mindset of thinking of “the business of identity” as an IT tools problem.
