Enterprise Identity and Access Management

The return on investment (ROI) for issuers, holders, and verifiers is attractive at first glance, particularly in enterprise services like Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) or expense management platforms where it has such potential for user experience improvements. But a closer look reveals a set of tradeoffs complicating the effort:

Cutting down on Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and boosting security are big draws, but the cost and complexity of managing a decentralized identity system can easily outweigh the benefits for most companies.

Moving from file syncing to VCs sounds great, but it means overhauling the digital infrastructure, and not every organization sees the value in doing that. (would love a third item here, just for a set of three, but again that's style, not substance)

This session will dig into the realities of enterprise adoption—what the ROI really looks like, what roadblocks are in the way, and how organizations can start making smarter decisions about whether VCs are worth the investment.

Identity is only as useful as it is current. A shift to continuous identity demands mutli-lateral, real-time coordination between identity domains, and drove the creation of an event-based approach for SCIM.

We'll use an open source demo to introduce the standard and its use cases that support not only synchronization, but privacy, authorization policy, and security.
