Session details

Session description

Advent of the cloud and emergence of the ‘not hugging servers’ concept is enabling organizations to adopt increasingly complex devices. As user access becomes more ubiquitous and system diversity increases, IT leaders need to re-focus on identity and security management.

Increasing demand to deliver improved services, combined with the economics of cloud has led to active discussions on treating the otherwise core security component as a separate entity. Identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) is emerging as a new way for identity management. A host of companies offer IDaaS with a varied amount of specializations. But, given the complexity of systems and the varied regulations that state CIOs manage, should they adopt IDaaS for their organizations?

Join the round table for an enlightening conversation on identity-as-a-service and its associated security implications
