Two weeks ago, I made the annual trek to the RSA Conference in San Francisco, the mother of all security shows. There’s no better place to get a one-week immersion in all things security and to meet with some of the best and brightest minds in our industry. One of the highlights of this year’s [...]

The Yin and Yang of Governance for XACML I chuckled when I read Ian Glazer’s blog post, “A Chronic Identity Pain.” Ian referred to himself as “an old provisioning guy” – being a few years his senior, it made me think, “Does that make me an old-old provisioning guy?” Having said that, I do consider [...]

This year, attendance was up and there were lots of networking opportunities to exchange ideas on this rapidly changing market. I got the [...]

We got some pretty startling results from the more than 1,500 workers polled in the U.S. and Great Britain: Half of the respondents said they would take company data with them when leaving a job.

Immediately, Sun customers began to wonder about the future of their existing IdM investments. It took another several months for the acquisition to be finalized, and then even more before Oracle began to roll out [...]

A few weeks ago, I was out on the West Coast talking to companies about privileged user management and identity governance with our technology partner, Cyber-Ark. This is an area of real concern for lots of organizations – and rightfully so. During our meetings, we exchanged real-world “horror stories” about insider fraud and sabotage. One [...]

In case you missed it, SailPoint recently announced a new provisioning solution based on identity governance. I believe this announcement not only signaled a fundamental change in approach from “old school” provisioning systems, but also sent a much needed life preserver to companies struggling with a provisioning quagmire. I know talk is cheap, so I [...]
