Learn how the Identity and Application Governance vendor landscape is evolving, strategies for managing the converging platforms, and more.

It’s no secret that the identity market is rapidly converging – just take a look at the recent Delinea/FastPath, SailPoint/ERP Maestro, and Netwrix/StrongPoint acquisitions.

As identity platforms expand into Application Governance, it is important for organizations to come together across traditionally siloed teams and optimize the platform across business services.

What's covered in this webinar:

- Evolution of the vendor landscape as Identity solutions converge with Application Governance
- Best practices for extending your Identity solution’s SoD framework to your ERP

The Great Convergence: Bridging the Gap Between Identity and App Governance

The concept of privileged access used to pertain to Windows Server Admins and Linux Root user access – but in today’s business landscape, privileged access has extended to include sensitive & critical access to applications, on-premise and in the cloud.
Marketing users have access to sensitive CRM and client data. HR users have access to private health and financial information. The idea that only high-level admins are privileged is outdated – all access is privileged.

Privileged Access Management is evolving and must be at the foundation of your identity security program. PAM must be viewed more than a tool, but as the driver of modern identity programs. Let’s discuss how to grow beyond compliance and bring security to the forefront.

What's covered in this webinar:

- Which business assets need to be protected
- The risks associated with your assets being attacked
- How to begin protecting assets within your enterprise
- Who, internally, should own privileged access
- Best practices for operating a holistic PAM program - and where to begin
- The role of ITDR with PAM

All Access is Privileged – Taking a PAM-First Approach Towards your Identity Security Program

Join us on August 19th for an insightful roundtable webinar, as top CISOs from diverse industries tackle one of the fastest-growing threats to organizational security – non-human identities. 

As bots, service accounts, and IoT devices outnumber human users, many organizations are starting to pay more attention to the attack vectors lurking in plain sight. Non-human identities offer bad actors a path of least resistance, as they often go unmanaged, untracked, and unowned, amplifying the risk of breaches, operational disruption, and compliance challenges.

Our expert panel of CISOs will address critical questions including:
• What are the real issues in managing non-human identities?
• Why the increase of non-human identities could fuel the next major data breach
• How to build the business case for investing in robust identity management beyond humans
• The debate around integrating Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT)
• Strategies to balance customer trust, regulatory readiness, and the rapid adoption of AI-driven tools.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear real-world lessons, strategic advice, and practical solutions for protecting your organization from the emerging risks associated with non-human identities.

Creating Transformative Identity Governance Solutions with Microsoft Entra Suite

Identity and Access Management has long been treated like insurance by the C-Suite – necessary, but uninspiring. Viewed as a cost of doing business, rather than way to transform your business.

By building an identity program around business outcomes instead of technology deliverables, you can start selling it to your leadership team. 

In this webinar we’ll show you can begin defining the business value of an IAM program so you can build leadership support, budget protection, and get the freedom to start executing.

What you'll learn:

• How to define the business value of IAM functions
• How to create common definitions in order to map business value across internal departments
• How to create champions for your IAM program
• Real examples of how IAM creates meaningful value for HR and marketing teams
• The growing role of AI in creating value from IAM

Learn how Microsoft Entra Verified ID can provide continuous identity proofing for individuals interacting with your organization.

When dealing with hybrid work scenarios and large distributed organizations, confirming who you are engaging with becomes ever more critical. One way to ensure the identity and/or role of an individual is with the use of Verified IDs. These digital IDs can verify criteria such as employment, identity, or certifications.

In this webinar recording, we examine common use cases for Verified IDs, including improved proofing for onboarding, help-desk scenarios, and partner engagement.

Principal Architect Mark Riley also covers:

- Introduction to Microsoft Entra Verified ID
- What does proofing do? What doesn’t it do?
- Using Verified ID for various rules
- How does Verified ID improve your organization’s security?

Using Microsoft Entra Verified ID for Identity Proofing of Partners, Customers, and Employees

Azure AD Group Writeback is a feature we and our Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) customers have been looking forward to implementing - and now it’s in public preview! Azure AD groups can now sync to on-premises Active Directory. Even better, if you are running an Azure AD Premium license (like most of our customers), you’ll be licensed to use it.

Adding group writeback to Azure AD Connect gets organizations a lot closer to eliminating the need for MIM, specifically the MIM Portal. Moving group management from MIM to the cloud will reduce processing time, reduce your on-premises footprint, and move your organization closer to a zero trust security architecture.

Implementing group writeback allows for Azure AD and AD security groups to be managed in one location. Additionally, using Azure Identity Governance can improve security by providing attestation of on-premises AD security groups.

Presented by Architect Nathan Mertz, this webinar covers how to move your MIM group functionality to Azure AD, while at the same time improving support for organizational compliance and reporting. Nathan covers:

- Group management
- Group approvals/workflows
- Dynamic/criteria groups
- Group entitlement management
- Attestation (including for AD groups on-premises) and access requests

Moving MIM Group Functionality to Azure AD for On-Premises Group Attestation

Strengthen security while streamlining IT operations and reducing costs.

Many organizations using Microsoft 365 (M365) productivity tools (formerly the Office 365 suite of products) are under-utilizing the full breadth of functionality provided by the Microsoft 365 E3/E5 licenses. That can lead to higher costs, and potentially leaves the door open for security breaches.

We see underutilized M365 licenses in almost all of our engagements, and we regularly see unnecessary money being spent on third party tools when M365 could be doing the job.

Ask yourself –

- Are you leveraging Azure AD as your centralized identity provider, providing single sign-on for SaaS (Software as a Service) applications, and taking advantage of the hybrid solutions for on-premises applications?
- Is your HR-driven identity lifecycle management using third-party solutions (potentially costing thousands of dollars in renewals) for identity provisioning/deprovisioning instead of leveraging the native capabilities available with Microsoft Entra Azure AD?
- Could your existing identity governance (IGA) use cases, such as attestation, be addressed by Microsoft Entra?

Any “yeses” to these questions? In this webinar recording Principal Architect Frank Urena shows how the Microsoft Entra suite of identity and security solutions can help you reduce your licensing costs, simplify IT operations, and strengthen your cloud security posture.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Microsoft 365 Investments
