This webinar series explores common identity challenges faced by the world's leading corporations and governments. RadiantOne's Intelligent Identity Data Platform unifies identity across all your assets—including legacy, hybrid, and multi-cloud—to drive time-to-value for business initiatives across the Fortune 1000. 

Cloud computing and mobile workforces have resulted in an expanding attack surface and a complex web of identity information. This means that traditional perimeter-based security models are no longer effective. A Zero Trust model of strict access control for every user and device enables businesses to be connected and secure, but an effective identity-focused approach is essential.

Join experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and Radiant Logic as they discuss why Identity is central to Zero Trust, how to achieve a frictionless user experience, how to ensure good quality identity data, and how to use that data to make the right decisions based on the Zero Trust principle of identity verification.

Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole will examine the seven pillars of Zero Trust and give practical guidance on where success is easiest to achieve. He will also look at the five premises for handling identity well in Zero Trust, and explain why it is important to achieve good quality identity information for Zero Trust and beyond.

Wade Ellery, VP of Solutions Architects and Senior Technical Evangelist at Radiant Logic will explain the role of an Identity Data Fabric in enabling a Zero Trust approach to security by providing attributes and context for fine grained access policies. He will also look at the NIST strategy for Zero Trust Architecture, and Radiant’s role in that project.

Watch this webinar to:
-Get practical advice on how to put your organization on the road to Zero Trust
-Understand what to consider when designing a Zero Trust approach to security
-Discover how to accelerate the path to stronger, smarter security in complex environments
-Find answers to your questions about how to make Zero Trust a reality
-Get an overview of the RadiantOne Intelligent Identity Data Platform

Making Zero Trust a reality: Basing decisions on valid identity data

What role does identity play in your organization? Is it seen as an enabler, or a consistent roadblock? An escalating expense and headache, or a key asset? Is your innovation “stuck” without a clear path forward? Many wonder how they can re-tool existing investments (and integrate future ones) to navigate rapid change and evolution to meet fast-changing business needs.

In this panel—moderated by Tom Field, SVP of Editorial at ISMG—industry experts will discuss the emerging fabric trends, and why putting identity at the center is the strategic launchpad for successful innovation in a variety of initiatives like regulatory compliance, Zero Trust Architecture, productivity, customer experience and more. Jeff Chang, currently head of IAM at the largest ecommerce company in South Korea, will share how his strategy for revamping the IAM architecture—putting identity data at the core—paid off at multiple organizations, and why modernizing infrastructure doesn’t need to be a daunting task if you lay the right (identity) foundation first. Wade Ellery, VP of Solutions Architects at Radiant Logic, will address why an Identity Data Fabric is key to harnessing identity and turning it into a renewable resource for the organization.

Watch this webinar to learn:
-How unifying identity data can help you deliver on the promise of an Identity Fabric architecture and implement a best-of-breed identity tech stack
-Solutions for upgrading your identity system without customization or disruption
-Why the world’s leading enterprises have implemented an Identity Data Fabric as a “must have” to enhance security, drive better business decisions, support ongoing change and foster innovation

How identity data lays the foundation for innovation

President Biden recently signed Executive Order 14028 – “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” mandating cybersecurity improvements across the Department of Defense and the intelligence community. With the goal of modernizing cybersecurity defenses and protecting federal networks, this new mandate gives identity teams an aggressive timeline for delivering Zero Trust Architecture and other key initiatives.

Join this webinar to learn:

-What the mandate means for you and how you can set up your mission for success
-Radiant Logic’s Identity Data Fabric and how it is the unified identity foundation that drives Zero Trust
-Zero Trust Architecture best practices and how Radiant Logic transforms disparate identity data into a resilient, reusable resource that delivers unified identity on-demand

Meeting the Requirements of the President’s Mandate for DoD and Intelligence

A 2021 survey by the Identity Security Alliance reported that 83% had seen an increase in the number of identities within their organization in the past year. The number of identities relating to the business is expanding, and as the IT estate grows, the more unwieldy it becomes. Gartner named both the Cybersecurity Mesh and Data Fabrics as strategic trends for 2022, but they both miss a critical piece of the infrastructure—the piece that deals with identity data and identity sprawl.  

Is John Smith in Active Directory the same individual as JSmith in Salesforce? What other accounts can we link to this person, and what resources and applications can they collectively access? Each unanswerable question represents a dangerous blind spot in the view of the company’s security. Heavily siloed systems offer threat actors an even larger attack service, with more gaps to exploit and a greater chance of staying undetected.

In this discussion - moderated by Tom Field, SVP of Editorial at ISMG - two industry experts will consider the toll of identity sprawl and explore the role of Identity Data Fabrics to unify essential information in a complex, hybrid environment. Radiant Logic’s new CPO John Pritchard and CISO and Chief of Staff Chad McDonald will draw on their experiences to explore a path forward to control the sprawl without the cost and complexity of custom integration projects.

The Toll of Identity Sprawl in Complex Enterprises

Identity sprawl is a challenge facing most modern enterprises as a result of inorganic growth, piecemeal identity solutions, and more recently, a loss of control due to unplanned remote work. This sprawl leads to tremendous technical debt and has turned identity and access management into a roadblock for many organizations.

However, creating a comprehensive identity fabric can be a differentiator for modern enterprises, when implemented in a consistent manner. This webinar will address how to turn the struggle of managing, containing, and organizing identity information in a diverse identity infrastructure into a success story.

Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole will address identity silos as roadblocks to a modern identity infrastructure, and will explore how the framework of an identity fabric can bring order into a complex and distributed infrastructure.

In the second half of the presentation, Wade Ellery, VP of Solutions Architects at Radiant Logic, will address why an identity data fabric is a foundational approach to organizing identity, and why you need a specialized layer to support the rest of the identity fabric. 
 
In this webinar you will:
- Learn why you must get a grip on your identity data, to deliver on the promise of an identity fabric architecture
- Gain an awareness of the problems that can result from technical debt in the identity infrastructure
- Develop an understanding of how an approach based on identity unification can overcome technical challenges and accelerate business outcomes

How to Deliver on the Promise of an Identity Fabric in a Modern Enterprise

If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s that predictions are a dicey game. If 2020 was the year of disruption, and 2021 was the “new normal,” where does that leave us for 2022? And how can we better prepare for the unknown and the unpredicted?

In this webinar, Founder and CEO of TechVision Research Gary Rowe will reflect on lessons learned last year, and update TechVision’s annual list of trends for the coming year in Identity Management. This represents the areas that large enterprises should consider investing in to build the right IAM foundation to support the “unknowns” of 2022 and beyond. The Future of Identity and Access Management list for 2022-2026 focuses on building an Identity Data Fabric or foundation for whatever comes next, improving user experience, integrating various sources of identity information and scaling IAM to new levels. 

Radiant Logic’s new CISO Chad McDonald will join him to offer his insights on how to approach each trend, and set up your identity infrastructure for flexibility and adaptability.

The Future of IdM: Time to Reflect and Regroup

Identity can be an enabler of new business initiatives, or it can be a major roadblock. Without a strong identity foundation, organizations face delayed projects, thousands of wasted hours on customizations, excessive latency, alatnd missed customer insights. On the other hand, getting a solid grip on identity data can make everything in your business run smoother--and make the identity team the heroes. 

In this discussion - moderated by Tom Field, SVP of Editorial at ISMG - three industry experts will examine what needs to be done in the world’s largest organizations to streamline identity data and make it an asset. Todd Oxford--currently Identity Solutions Architect at Bed Bath & Beyond--has also tackled identity problems at Equifax and The Home Depot. He will share some of the approaches he has used to make identity into a business enabler. Wade Ellery, VP of Solutions Architects at Radiant Logic, and Randy Fields, VP at Simeio Solutions, will explore how an Identity Data Fabric approach could be valuable for managing identity complexity and reframing how we think about the role of identity in the enterprise.

Understanding Identity Challenges and Opportunities in the Modern Enterprise

Delivering on the Promise of an Identity Fabric in a Modern Enterprise

The accelerated online consumerization boom due to the pandemic has forced organizations to digitally transform operations overnight.  Engaging customers online and providing a seamless customer experience can make or break the relationship between a brand and a customer. The stakes are high—get it right and build tangible business results; get it wrong and yourcompetitive advantage can be forever lost.

The problem: Organization’s complex infrastructures, burdened with years of technical debt, make it nearly impossible to connect legacy and modern infrastructure without significant cost and resources. If you can’t bring together your customer’s identity data and keep it secure, they’ll face friction and frustration in the form of password resets, multiple log-ins, or god forbid,
a breach of their sensitive data. Even with a “cloud-first” approach, many legacy on-prem systems will exist for many years, demanding an integration strategy. 

The category of Customer Identity and Access Management (“CIAM”) has matured as the solution to help solve this problem. The key is being able to start with a solid identity foundation —creating a 360° view of your customer will make everything else work the way it was designed. Successful CIAM relies on gathering a global view of your customer—essential for both security and customer experience—and making it available through a single authoritative
source. 

This webinar will offer strategic and tactical recommendations for building a customer IAM foundation, and explore how an intelligent identity data platform can help avoid deployment headaches.

The Key to Customer Identity: It Starts with the Data

Getting a grip on identity in your organization is no longer a nice-to-have. In fact, identity sprawl will hold your business back and increase your cyber risk. Disjointed and overlapping identity sources can disrupt new digital transformation initiatives and cloud journeys. Each new initiative will require lengthy customization efforts, demand substantial resource investment, and can lead to missed revenue opportunities. 

This webinar will address the challenge of identifying and managing all relevant user data within your organization. Joseph Krull, Strategic Advisor at Aite-Novarica Group, will bring his will bring his 45 years of information security experience to explore some of the challenges wrought by technical identity debt in the financial services sector, and how it can be alleviated with a strategic approach to identity unification. 

Join this webinar to learn: 

● Why the cost of getting identity wrong is exponential and leads to an expanded attack surface
● Why you should look beyond the “the usual suspects” for identity solutions, particularly in an M&A environment
● How the world’s leading enterprises have used an identity data fabric to navigate change and meet business demands

Avoid the Toll of Identity Debt in Your Enterprise

Zero Trust is a key theme in cybersecurity as organizations struggle to stay ahead of the latest threats, but the pandemic has also put a spotlight on user experience. As IT sprawl accelerates, larger attack surfaces emerge and identity information is spread across a complex web of legacy, hybrid and multi cloud systems. How can you ensure that only authorized and approved subjects can access the proper resources without putting all the work on the end-user?

The ability to register and find the necessary identity data on subjects, assets, and resources is the key to authorization, authentication and governance. Policies should be as granular as possible, but they’re enforceable only with access to the many attributes of each user, in real time. How can you access the detailed, up-to-date attributes needed for decision-making, when identity data is spread throughout a fragmented infrastructure? You need real-time access to all identity sources—consolidated into a single source of identity truth—to make Zero Trust a reality. 

In this webinar, TechVision Research CEO Gary Rowe will present their approach to pragmatic Zero Trust. Wade Ellery of Radiant Logic, which was recently selected to participate in NIST’s Zero Trust project, will showcase the role identity data can play to build a solid foundation for your Zero Trust architecture. 

This webinar will address: 
● What Zero Trust really means for large organizations when it comes to Identity  
● How organizations can improve security AND user experience (at the same time!)
● How to turn Zero Trust from a buzz word to a scalable, operational approach
● Why you need to harness identity data and make it a driver of Zero Trust architecture

The Future of Identity Management: The Next Five Years

Organizations that simplify their existing identity infrastructures with identity integration and normalization have a much higher chance of ensuring the success of their IGA deployments. This webinar will feature Wade Ellery, VP of Solution Architects at Radiant Logic, and two special guests from Comcast Corporation: 

—Rajnish (Raj) Bhatia, Executive Director of Enterprise and B2B IAM 
—Pankaj Khatri, Director for Identity and Access Governance

The Comcast team will provide details on how RadiantOne is supporting Comcast’s IGA program. 
It’s easy to see why most IGA deployments are hampered by complexity in the identity infrastructure. The tasks involved in IGA are multifaceted and closely connected with the state of the infrastructure. They include:
—Identity analytics and reporting
—Fulfillment and connectors
—Policy and role management
—Access and request certification
—Identity lifecycle

The Role of Integration & Normalization in Successful IGA Deployments

Digital transformation is the new business imperative, but it must be achieved without compromising security. It requires businesses to become both more dynamic and distributed, in effect making identity the new security perimeter. Thus, deploying a fully integrated and flexible identity capability–which is at the core of modern Zero Trust Architectures–is the critical first step toward digital transformation.

You will learn ways to achieve:
—A comprehensive view of all identity data
—An efficient way to keep identity data consistent across all systems where it is created, stored, or applied
—The ability to enforce policies, on identity data collection and protection, that are consistent with enterprise business and compliance obligations

Achieving Successful Digital Transformation and Zero Trust Architecture

Responding to change in identity and access management can be an expensive and complicated proposition. Many large enterprises have security systems based on legacy LDAP directories (Oracle OUD, Sun, IBM TDS), which are now aging. But with multiple applications relying on this directory infrastructure for authenticating and authorizing users, companies have been stuck with the existing inflexible system.
Compounding this problem is the extra demand from cloud and web-based applications and an ever-growing/changing user base with high expectations for secure and seamless user experience. As a result, companies are caught between a rock and a hard place. They need a way to migrate away from aging LDAPs without disruption and evolve the infrastructure to deliver on those new expectations.
In this webinar, you will learn how to:
•avoid licensing and maintenance fees for legacy directories 
•migrate from aging LDAP directories to a flexible platform for new initiatives--without disruption
•integrate identity data from all your disparate data sources into a complete identity hub
•inventory and intercept existing client application requests, then reverse engineer the views they require

Seamlessly Migrate and Modernize Your LDAP Directory

Where is identity management heading in the next five years? Join Radiant Logic and TechVision Research for an important discussion of technology trends and learn how a federated identity and directory service is a vital part of your digital transformation. 
Large enterprises often have complex identity infrastructures already in place; with identity data spread across many heterogeneous data sources—multiple AD domains and forests, other directories, databases, applications, web services/APIs—along with a multitude of legacy applications that rely on those sources. To prepare for the future of IAM, enterprises will generally require a rationalization of, integration with, and ultimately migration to this next generation identity infrastructure.  

This webinar will show you:

•Technology trends and where identity management is heading in the next five years
•The role of a federated identity and directory service in digital transformation
•TechVision Research’s top 10 List of Key Identity Management Trends
