IAM Solution Spotlight

Showcasing innovative approaches in Enterprise Identity Management

Do you have a solution you’d like to share? We’d love to hear from you!

Can you help solve identity’s difficult problems?

We are running three sessions focused on solving practical problems facing identity practitioners.

We invite participation from our identity community to demonstrate how they solve these problems. 

We are looking for up to six presentations of up to fifteen minutes to showcase practical solutions to the problems described below with:

  • MFA at the Edge
  • Using PAM to Control High Risk Business Transactions
  • Making IGA Entitlements Understandable

Submit your 1-2 page pitch in PDF format outlining your solutions, involving process, technology or policies.

You can use diagrams, flows and narrative to summarise how you’d solve the problem.
Please make sure this is either your own or your companies’ work and you aren’t using copyrighted material.

We will evaluate the pitches and let you know by the 30 August whether you’ll be pitching on the 30 September to your fellow identity practitioners.

IAM Solution Spotlight 1 

MFA At the Edge

Strong Authentication/MFA is a fundamental security control that should be deployed for accessing Enterprise Applications. Yet, how do we know that this has been universally deployed? How are exceptions managed/resolved? How are edge cases addressed? Is it ever possible to get to a “Job Done and Delivered”? We are zooming in on the resilience and completeness of MFA/Strong Authentication roll-outs and the proofing of the same and are inviting submissions from practitioners who have successfully, not just deployed, but are also measuring the effectiveness of this control on a regular basis.

IAM Solution Spotlight 2 

Using PAM to Control High Risk Business Transactions This session explores the critical distinction between technical privilege (system-level access) and business privilege (functional access within applications), why conflating the two means additional risk and complexity, and how both types of privilege should be governed & controlled. Are these two separate domains? Can similar approaches be used across both? We are inviting submissions from practitioners and solution providers who can weigh in with real world experience of having handled sensitive and privileged access across IT Infrastructure and business.

IAM Solution Spotlight 3

Making IGA Entitlements Understandable 

How many times do we see roles and entitlements with poorly defined entitlements? Coherent Entitlement, Role Descriptions are important for governance hygene. More importantly, it underpins the effective use of access reviews, role compositions and enforcement of least privilege. We would like to understand how our community of practitioners are addressing this issue. Have you deployed a solution that can scale across multiple applications in production or have you done this specifically for one application?
