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. 

The legacy LDAP directory infrastructure is a major pain point today for organizations looking to cut costs, boost agility, and secure their environment. Organizations have deployed IAM security services underpinned by legacy LDAP directory solutions such as Sun/iPlanet, CA eTrust, Novell eDirectory, IBM Directory Services and Oracle Internet Directory, many of which have reached end-of-life status. The current reality is that many organizations are operating unsupported or under-supported directories that are costly to maintain and aren’t up to modern demands. They don’t scale to meet volume requirements, they don’t support modern access protocols like REST, and they don’t support easy migration to the cloud.

Upgrading to a more flexible and performant directory is a daunting task, complicated by the requirement to “clean up” data prior to migration, and make the move without impacting users or applications connecting to it. Application dependencies keep the organization tied to the existing directory—but what if there was a way to decouple access from storage, extend the value of existing directories and/or retire legacy stores, upgrade to a modern storage solution seamlessly, and save your organization millions in budget and resources? Join Doug Simmons of TechVision Research and Wade Ellery of Radiant Logic to find out how. 

RadiantOne is the key to a disruption-free migration and modernization efforts. Use RadiantOne to:

-Retire technical debt, reduce infrastructure footprint, remove inefficient processes, and improve data security—starting with directories
-Discover and analyze dependencies and application requirements, then tailor the ideal directory structure—collapsing upgrade timelines from months or years to days or weeks
-Add lasting agility to your architecture—RadiantOne facilitates seamless migration from brittle, aging LDAP systems to a highly performant, extensible identity platform

The Invisible Transformation: Retire Legacy LDAP Directories Without Disruption

According to Gartner Research, nearly half of IGA projects are in distress, and some fail to get off the ground entirely due to identity data quality and accessibility challenges.

All identity projects must start with an understanding of all requirements. Getting this data right is at the heart of a successful identity project. Without an authoritative data source, teams can spend many months mired in custom configurations. Improved data quality is essential for more confident decision-making in complex environments.

Register and attend this C-Suite discussion for a deep dive into identity governance including:

-The best practices for improving identity data quality;
-How an enhanced identity data pipeline can jumpstart stalled IAM and IGA projects;
-How to deliver agility and speed time-to-value.

Fast-Track Your IAM and IGA Initiatives with a Repeatable Plug-and-Play Process

Shifting identity management and provisioning to the cloud helps streamline these operations. It also brings a new set of challenges, including integrating and managing user identities, privileges, and other attributes used in various on-premise and cloud systems, especially if your organization is operating in a hybrid model. In this webinar, experts will provide insights and recommendations for harnessing user and machine identities in the cloud and among hybrid environments to ensure more solid security identity for the enterprise.

In this webinar, you will:

-Gain insight into how to integrate, manage, and secure identities in the cloud as well as in a hybrid environment
-Hear from experts on how to identify and secure machine identities in the cloud
-Walk away with a unified strategy for user privileges in the cloud as well as a hybrid model
-Learn how to leverage the cloud for a more secure identity management program

Managing Identity in the Cloud

Many enterprises are built on mission-critical applications that rely on legacy infrastructure that’s increasingly expensive, potentially EOL, and out-of-step with modern security practices. They can find themselves locked into costly licensing and maintenance fees in order to protect these aging systems, and keep their business running. 

In this short webinar, you’ll learn why so many enterprises are stuck maintaining old directories, why you can't just rip and replace, and how a modernization strategy lets you take advantage of what’s already built while leveraging today’s security practices. 

Discover the benefits of the Identity Data Fabric approach to identity modernization with Dieter Schuller, Chief Customer Officer with Radiant Logic, who shares how to: 
-Minimize technical debt with an in-place upgrade approach 
-Reduce support and maintenance fees by retiring aging directories 
-Achieve zero impact to application owners or end-users
-Set the stage for future success with ultimate flexibility and scalability

Why Your Business Needs a Directory Modernization Strategy

Every digital interaction requires a chain of decisions to be made across a series of control points utilizing various technologies to authenticate and authorize access. Current and accurate identity data is central to every decision, from continually verifying access with Zero Trust methodologies to streamlining end-user access with customer journey mapping.

The very nature of today’s complex identity infrastructure means that all decision-making solutions are decentralized and are comprised of legacy and out-of-date systems. Adding to this complexity is inconsistent data obtained from silos loaded with incorrect or dated attributes. Even complete data may have anomalies and outliers that are hidden until aggregated, and seemingly complete identity data can drift due to synchronization issues.

Understand how organizations can unlock the power of Identity Data Intelligence and transform identity data into a business accelerator with these new capabilities:

-Federated Identity: Low-code / No-Code capabilities allow “Citizen Integrators” to tackle complexity using templates and visual tooling
-Identity Manager: Employee, customer, and help desk self-service experiences to manage identity data with delegated administration to help scale identity teams
-Identity Observability: Exploratory data assessment capabilities with identity data business intelligence and alerting & reporting to discover data and policy quality issues
-Extensibility-Enhancing APIs: Completely refactored API-first design supporting externalized analytics and infrastructure as code environment configuration
-SaaS Delivery: Global multi-region, high availability deployment options with Secure Data Connectors for on-prem data source connectivity

Turn identity data into a business accelerator with Radiant Logic

Identity data management may not be the first thing thought of when considering data security best practices. Still, it’s one of the critical disciplines required to protect networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access. Three of OWASP’s top ten can be mitigated by collecting, aggregating, and normalizing identity data and delivering it to consuming apps in real-time.

Radiant Logic’s Federal Technical Lead Rusty Deaton will discuss how critical it is to get your organization’s identity data management strategy right. Then, he’ll teach you how to leverage that strategy in order to prevent three out of the OWASP’s top ten.

Join this webinar to learn about:

-Managing and monitoring user views, identities, and profiles to effectively manage and monitor application access
-Improving access controls for accounts and groups and controlling firewall rules to stop unnecessary resource access
-Managing and tracking problem attributes to focus on problem cases so they can be quickly addressed at the source

Why the OWASP Top Ten Needs Identity Data Management

Mergers and acquisitions present an opportunity to accomplish multiple business goals at once—achieving growth, adding gains in operational efficiency and workforce productivity, and offering more value to customers at the end of the process. But, they often fail to realize their expected value.

Meet your reusable M&A playbook

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, and 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.

Understand Identity Challenges and Opportunities in the Modern Enterprise

The cloud is awesome–but for most of us, being fully in the cloud is a distant reality. A recent study of 300 IT leaders showed that as of today, less than 4% of enterprises are fully in the cloud. We need a strategy for the here and now, and that means learning how to survive–and thrive–in a hybrid IAM environment.

In this webinar, industry experts Doug Simmons of TechVision Research and Wade Ellery of Radiant Logic will lay out the dos and don’ts of a hybrid IAM approach.

This webinar will address:

-What hybrid IAM is (and what it isn’t)
-How to understand the balance between on-premise and in-cloud IAM architecture and infrastructure
-Sample reference architectures for hybrid and cloud IAM, and how to identify and articulate your needs
-The role of an identity data fabric in synthesizing hybrid and cloud identity data

How to thrive in a hybrid world: Managing identities for the here and now

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

With economic pressures converging, the need to make the most of each dollar spent is more pressing than ever. The focus needs to be on strategic investments that reduce technical debt, increase efficiency, and set the organization up to move quickly when the financial tides shift. In this webinar, guest speaker Forrester VP and Research Director Merritt Maxim will explore a bit of the current identity and access management landscape, and how that might affect your spending in 2023 and beyond. 

He’ll also walk through the results of a commissioned Forrester Consulting study conducted on behalf of Radiant Logic based on extensive data examining the potential return on investment of deploying the RadiantOne Intelligent Identity Data Platform. The Total Economic Impact™ study documented that RadiantOne improved business agility, enhanced user experience, enabled new business initiatives—and for a composite organization representative of interviewed customers, paid back its investment in under 6 months.

According to the research, over three years, the composite Radiant Logic customer also experienced the below benefits, in addition to achieving a 239% ROI:

-$9.2M Reduction in technical debt over three years
