Join Dr. Edward Amoroso, CEO, of TAG Cyber with Gal Helemski, CPO and Co-Founder, of PlainID to delve into the multifaceted landscape of modern authorization and its profound impact on cyber security and data compliance.

What is Modern Authorization and Its Role in Cyber Security & Data Compliance

For years organizations either relied on course-grained access controls or attempted to implement complex and unmanageable controls for access to specific data. When organizations attempt to control data level access using roles, the result is role explosion.  Attribute-based access helped control access to specific data values but even then access was siloed and segregated into its respective data stores.

Using modern, policy-based authorization, organizations now can more easily control access to specific data and infrastructure components and put security controls in place that prevent detrimental actions (intentionally or unintentionally).  
Learn how leading-edge organizations have deployed identity-centric access throughout the infrastructure stack using fine-grained authorization.  This includes access to microservices, APIs, and other infrastructure that typically relies on generic system accounts.  Apply policies to enable control over this access based on the individual or process that initiated the transaction (i.e., last-mile security).

By attending the webinar you will:
- Have a better understanding of Policy-based Access Control (PBAC) and identity-centric access
-  Learn how to apply PBAC to control access to specific data and infrastructure components
-  See how leading-edge organizations have taken advantage of PBAC
-  See a demo of an exciting sensitive data use case
- Understand how to move your organization to the next level of access control

Finally, a Solution to Control Access!

In the era of the digital economy, organizations grapple with complex cross-border data regulations. Efficient access control, powered by modern authorization, has emerged as a critical component in ensuring data compliance, privacy, and risk management.

Join us and explore the role of authorization in navigating enterprise access control and cross-border regulatory challenges. Learn how centralized management of policies and distributed enforcement simplifies managing identities' access within regional norms, offering a targeted response to evolving data laws and advanced cyber threats.

We will discuss how a modern authorization platform helps promote efficient management of access control, improve business agility, and bolster enterprise security through granular, policy-based controls.

Key takeaways include:
- Understanding the complexity of cross-border data regulations and the drivers behind it
- Deep dive into how authorization is foundational in any security strategy for compliance and risk mitigation
- Learning how modern authorization platforms simplify, and centralize management of access policies 
- The business case for policy-based, granular approach to data access and control

Enhancing Customer Engagement: PlainID Policy Simulator Best Practices

In today's digital world, it’s plain to see that EVERYTHING is data. What is not plain — is how we protect that data. How you tell a data layer to protect data is different from how to tell microservices and API gateways how to protect data, which is different from how we protect data in the applications, but at the end of the day, it's all about who can do what, with what.

Join PlainID’s Mickey Martin, Director of Product Outreach, and Hub City Media’s Steve Giovannetti to talk about PlainID and the company’s ability to:

- Centralize authorization policies across the ecosystem
- Standardize our access control approaches
- Visualize your authorization map

Identity and Access Management has been a pillar in security for decades now; it has emerged, changed, and evolved many times over as the problems it solved grew larger and more complex. Identity Governance, Identity Providers, and Authorization Platforms are all required to deliver a secure identity practice. Authorization, like every piece of identity, enables the modern business, reduces risk, tightens security, and protects access to your digital assets.

Talking AuthZ with PlainID: Why Authorization? Why Now?

In this webinar, we’ll have an open discussion with Director of IAM Delivery from IDMWORKS, Nick Hunt, and Director of Product Outreach from PlainID, Mickey Martin, on the changing needs of authorization, market shifts, and how you can get a handle on this evolving space.

Date: Wednesday, February 1, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET (Eastern Time)
Online Event

With a changing application space, focusing on Identity and Zero Trust, and movement to cloud-hosted services, the traditional methods for authorizing users within applications are evolving.  Traditional methods of maintaining authorization lists are not scaling to support changing application and security needs.  This gives rise to the need for centralized, context-aware, authorization services, decoupling the authorization decisions from local applications into central business policy decisions and services. 

Agenda:
12:00 pm - 12:10 pm - Welcome - Overview
12:10 pm - 12:45 pm - A Fireside Chat on Dynamic Authorization
12:45 pm - 1:00 pm - Q&A, Wrap up

The Changing Authorization Space – A Fireside Chat on Dynamic Authorization

Join PlainID’s Director of Product Outreach Mickey Martin, along with The Cyber Hut's CEO and Research Analyst, Simon Moffatt, on December 6, for a webinar on Externalization of Authorization Policies - Build vs. Buy.

As the modern enterprise architecture demands a more decoupled and agile approach to authorization – existing access control deployments that are often tightly coupled and embedded within enterprise applications can no longer provide the needed level of agility, correct feature set and coverage for businesses.

Dynamic Authorization has become a critical component of the modern enterprise - delivering business agility via the flexible security of critical data and information assets.  Homegrown access control solutions are common across enterprises - either embedded within complex systems due to bespoke requirements or due to limitations of  CoTS providers. A modern approach is needed to gain better visibility and control of who has access to what resources. 

Join PlainID and The Cyber Hut to gain insights on how homegrown approaches compare to a platform approach. In the webinar, discussion topics will cover:

- Business Challenges of Authorization
- Externalizing Authorization with Policy-based Access Control
- Centralized Management and Distributed Enforcement 
- The Limitations of Homegrown Solutions 
- The Cost of Doing Nothing
