The holiday season is a time to reflect on what is really important in life and what brings us all together. That, of course, is identity governance.

IBM Security’s Identity Governance and Intelligence solution will be celebrated at three major upcoming events: the 2016 Gartner IAM Summit, a webinar focused on health care and an analyst webinar in which IBM will host Forrester. At each of these events, IBM will showcase its identity and access management (IAM) portfolio, including real-world use cases, product demonstrations, interactions with the experts and more.

Identity Governance and Intelligence Stars at Gartner IAM Summit

From Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, Gartner will host IAM vendors, business partners and customers in Las Vegas for its annual IAM Summit, arguably the largest IAM event of the year. As a major sponsor of the event, IBM will have a booth and is set to host two speaking sessions by Jason Keenaghan, program director of IAM Offering Management, and Eric Maass, director of IAM Cloud Services Strategy.

The theme of the IBM booth is “Security Starts with People.” It will feature ongoing demonstrations of IBM Security’s IAM solutions, including IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence, as well as experts in each area to answer any questions attendees may have. Please stop by one of IBM’s sessions or visit us at booth No. 301. We look forward to seeing you there.

IBM Takes On Health Care

On Dec. 5, IBM will host a webinar focused on governance and health care titled “Safeguard Healthcare Identities and Data With Identity Governance and Intelligence.” Believe it or not, health care is one of the hardest hit industries from an information security perspective due to the difficulty of managing and governing identities with so many complex systems in place.

Join this webinar to learn about IBM’s success in the health care industry with IBM Security Identity Governance and Intelligence, including integration with Epic and other complex electronic medical record (EMR) systems.

Dig Into IAM Trends

IBM recently hosted Andras Cser, vice president and principle analyst serving security and risk professionals at Forrester, for a webinar titled “Identity and Access Management: What Are the Trends? How Do You Solve Them?

As the title suggests, Andras and IBM’s Jason Keenaghan dig into the current trends in IAM and discuss how we can solve new issues as they arise. With a particular focus on identity governance and access management and a lively Q&A session at the end, this is one on-demand webinar you won’t want to miss.

Another category? Why we need ITDR

5 min read - Technologists are understandably suffering from category fatigue. This fatigue can be more pronounced within security than in any other sub-sector of IT. Do the use cases and risks of today warrant identity threat detection and response (ITDR)? To address this question, we work backwards from the vulnerabilities, threats, misconfigurations and attacks that IDTR specializes in providing visibility into. As identity threat detection and response (ITDR) technology evolves, one of the most common queries we get is: “Why do we need…

Access control is going mobile — Is this the way forward?

2 min read - Last year, the highest volume of cyberattacks (30%) started in the same way: a cyber criminal using valid credentials to gain access. Even more concerning, the X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2024 found that this method of attack increased by 71% from 2022. Researchers also discovered a 266% increase in infostealers to obtain credentials to use in an attack. Family members of privileged users are also sometimes victims.“These shifts suggest that threat actors have revalued credentials as a reliable and preferred…

Passwords, passkeys and familiarity bias

5 min read - As passkey (passwordless authentication) adoption proceeds, misconceptions abound. There appears to be a widespread impression that passkeys may be more convenient and less secure than passwords. The reality is that they are both more secure and more convenient — possibly a first in cybersecurity.Most of us could be forgiven for not realizing passwordless authentication is more secure than passwords. Thinking back to the first couple of use cases I was exposed to — a phone operating system (OS) and a…
