Kuppinger Cole Media Coverage

There's still one or two issues to bring up from last month's European Identity Conference, which I want to get to this week -- one from a panel I was on and another from one I wasn't on.

Kuppinger-Cole senior analyst Sebastian Rohr inveigled me to sit on his panel "Directory Services in the Cloud" where, among other issues, we explored exchanging directory data in an XML-enabled world. I rashly suggested that Directory Services Markup Language (DSML) was sufficient for this purpose. But I didn't count on Australia's Andrew Ferguson to be lurking behind a screen where I couldn't see him.

Three days of conference plus a Workshop day packed full with IAM and GRC topics and even more. The KuppingerCole European Identity Conference EIC2010 was a great success. In my opinion the best EIC I have seen, although there were some confusion and unexpected changes that let me miss some of the presentations I was eager to visit. But that can be easily excused looking at the choice and quality of speakers. KuppingerCole again did a very good job in gathering many of the leading heads in Identity Management and GRC. The only thing I missed were people from Google like Eric Sachs, who did a lot in the OAuth and OpenId space the last years.

To get through the intense European Identity Conference last week in Munich (thanks, Kuppinger Cole folks!), I had to make sure to drink lots of fluids. I’m referring, of course, to coffee, beer, and one extraordinary whisky (thanks, Ping Identity folks!)...

I stumbled into the European Identity Conference 2010 actually only by accident, more being a web developer than an enterprise IT guy (although having to do with it in terms of connecting e.g. Plone to an LDAP server in our bigger clients). But I don’t regret that I actually did!

Munich, Germany -- Information Cards and ICF members were very active in the European Identity Conference (EIC) in Munich this past week. To begin with, ICF board member Kim Cameron accepted the European Identity Award for “Best Innovation” on behalf of Microsoft for its U-Prove minimal disclosure technology. The award was shared with IBM for its similar Idemix technology. Both solutions were lauded by EIC host Kuppinger Cole as pioneering efforts in enhancing online privacy and security.

Palo Alto, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/07/2010 -- MetricStream, the market leader in Enterprise Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC) and Quality Management solutions is showcasing its GRC Platform at Cloud 2010, a European Identity Conference(EIC) on “Cloud Computing - Thought Leadership and Best Practices” hosted by Kuppinger Cole in Munich, Germany from May 4 to 7, 2010.

A couple of notes I read last week seemed to go together so nicely that I thought I'd share hem with you in hopes of stimulating your own thought processes. One came from a discussion of the LinkedIn cloud computing group while the other was a blog post by old friend Martin Kuppinger...

From May 5th to May 8th I attended the 3rd European Identity Conference (EIC). As a testimonial on the front page says, it was “a wonderful and informative event, well run and useful in so many ways.” (If I quote a page quoting me, is that recursion or delegation?)

I attended the first two EICs and, while I greatly enjoyed them, each conference has been better than the last. EIC strikes a good balance between providing a forward looking vision of what identity management technology should provide for business, and what practical solutions are available now.

One of the highlights of the recent European Identity Conference was the conferring of the European Identity Awards, which recognize outstanding projects, innovations and additional developments in standards -- an area that should get even more recognition.

Last week's European Identity Conference was, as always, a wonderful look at not only European advances in identity management, but what's happening worldwide. I had the opportunity to host panel discussions that included people from Germany, Holland, Sweden, Norway, France, Italy, the U.K., Belgium, Canada, the U.S., Australia and India. It's a wonderful way to discover that although identity management theory is pretty much the same the whole world over, the practice, or implementation, of that theory has many regional, cultural and national differences.

Just back from another fine European ID Conference in Munich. The combination of the venue (the Forum at the Deutsches Museum), the speakers and our great hosts from Kuppinger-Cole + Partner (Martin, Tim, Joerg, Felix, Sebastian, Levent, Gabi, Bettina and all their cohorts) makes this an event ne plus ultra.

I am happy to announce that Project Aristotle won an award for “Best new or improved standard” at the European Identity Conference. The win is shared with the Open Authentication (OAuth) and the Information Card Foundation (ICF).

This year I finally have a chance of attending the European Identity Conference in Munich. I would have been already delighted to go there just as attendee, the lineup of speakers is phenomenal and the chances of good networking appear really promising.

Because I'm based in California's Silicon Valley, a long stone's throw from Oracle HQ and surrounded by dozens of identity management vendors, my view of the global marketplace can be skewed. While I try to make up for this by visiting conferences and trade shows outside the United States (I’ll be at the European ID Conference in Munich this May), I do rely on readers and friends to keep me posted about things of interest in their areas. Today, we'll hear from one identity management player in Western Europe who has reported on the state of the industry there.

Proving security's worth is not always the easiest job. Once you've invested in systems, trained staff, secured the perimeter, secured the interior, put in monitoring and maintenance programmes, chosen what, if anything, to outsource, run penetration tests and more, what's the result? No-one gives out their password on the phone, catches a virus on their PC, leaves unencrypted data on the train or suffers any kind of a security breach. If all goes right, nothing happens.

Thoughts on how to move the Identity Bus forward

Last time out I told you about an informal discussion I had with Microsoft's Kim Cameron, Novell's Dale Olds, Quest's Jackson Shaw hosted by Kuppinger-Cole's Felix Gaehtgens all about the so-called "Identity Bus." I said that we reached a conclusion about the best way to move forward, but perhaps it's better to say we identified a couple of paths that might be worth taking.

Identity Bus discussion at the European Identity Conference

One of the most interesting "panel discussions" I had at the European Identity Conference didn't have anyone in the audience. Kuppinger & Cole senior analyst Felix Gaehtgens gathered Microsoft's Kim Cameron, Quest's Jackson Shaw (former colleagues at Zoomit) and Novell's Dale Olds for a video interview (which may or may not show up at the KCP Web site) about the "Identity Bus" .

An overview of some panel discussions from the 2nd annual European Identity Conference

I had a wonderful time at last week's 2nd annual European Identity Conference in Munich. Martin Kuppinger and his crew at Kuppinger Cole + Partner for putting on an excellent conference, one which I highly recommend you add to your calendar for next year. I'd also like to thank the great guys who put themselves in harm's way (well, harm to their reputations) by participating in the three hour long panel sessions I moderated on the general topic of "Putting Context in Identity."

For each category, three outstanding projects and innovations were nominated as finalists. Here is how Kuppinger Cole framed the results:

Businesses are looking to simplify the process of managing identities, according to analysts

The complexity of managing governance, risk and compliance (GRC) activities is driving firms to integrate identity and role management into the application stack.

According to analyst group Kuppinger Cole & Partners, identity management and role management have become so fundamental to enterprises' ability to manage GRC that business leaders are looking at new ways to simplify the process.
