Cloud Identity & Security

Simplify your IAM – what’s first: User Interface, Processes, or Infrastructure?

Too many companies suffer from complex IAM implementations. Lack of user acceptance due to overly complex user interfaces; massive workloads for business people in recertification; failed projects due to complex infrastructures; the list of challenges is long. On the other hand, the need for a well-working IAM has never been as large as today. Support for more users and other types of identities than ever before, with more and more business users being involved in access requests and identity management; detecting abuse of access rights and excessive entitlements as soon as possible; simple implementation of more than just basic identity provisioning; that’s what companies need today.

Time to simplify IAM infrastructures. But where to start? Or does it require completely rethinking and re-implementing everything? And how to move from what you have to a simplified IAM infrastructure with broader reach?
The panelists will discuss the business and IT demand for simplifying IAM and how to reach that goal.
