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 [...]

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.
