Identity - The key to securing data in the public cloud

Securing the public cloud can feel like a dark gray storm off the horizon; however, aligning a cloud identity solution can be your first glimpse into the silver lining. Join us as we talk about the new perimeter of cloud security and how your Identity and Access Model can securely extend your reach into the cloud while simplifying the user’s login experience. Executing a digital transformation strategy results in a continuous outcome to have more sensitive data transitioning into our cloud environments and applications. The data security perimeter has changed, making perimeter firewalls less effective and insufficient for protecting data at scale in environments where the data can reside virtually anywhere. This has led to the importance of tracking user identities across multiple applications and environments to build a true story of what correlated actions a user may be taking throughout the enterprise. As a result, we must transition to an identity and access ecosystem that enriches contextual environmental, biological, and technological information to create a seamless user authentication and authorization process - no matter where the data or application resides. This session will illustrate the building blocks for leveraging a strong foundational directory service that will extend across your corporate and newly extended home offices while utilizing automation to increase user satisfaction and a reduction in support hours spent dealing with passwords and access requests.
