Complimentary Webinar on Cloud-Based IANS Solutions – 22 May 2013

ISSA – Utah Chapter members are invited to participate in a complimentary IANS webinar.

Title:  Identity and Access Management in the Cloud: Emerging Vendor Showcase
Date:  May 22
Time:  2:00 – 3:00 PM EST
Moderator: Dave Shackleford
Guest Presenters: Okta and Symplified

Identity and Access Management (IAM) implementation can be enormously complex, expensive, and difficult for many organizations. With more organizations integrating third-party applications with internal infrastructure, and deploying cloud-based systems and applications both internally and in provider environments, the problem gets even worse. How should organizations develop roles and privileges? What types of access management and control make the most sense? What standards should be used for integration, ranging from SAML to OAuth?

A new breed of cloud-based IAM products and services is emerging, however, with extensive features and integration capabilities. In this Webinar, IANS will host cutting-edge solution providers Okta and Symplified who are leading the charge to IDaaS, otherwise known as Identity as a Service.

IANS Webinar “Never Fight a Land War in Cyberspace” by Marcus Ranum

ISSA members are welcome to join in a IANS Webinar entitled “Never Fight a Land War in Cyberspace,” on Wednesday, Apr. 24, 2-3 PM EDT. with Marcus Ranum, IANS Faculty.

Military analogies and metaphors are plentiful when discussing cybersecurity. In fact, the speaker’s own first cybersecurity paper was larded with out-of-context quotes from Sun Tzu. Now that the “cyberwar” phenomenon is in full swing, we’re constantly hearing things like “active defense” and “the best defense is a strong offense.” But what do they even mean in cyberspace? In this presentation, Marcus Ranum will compare some real-world military theories with their cyberspace equivalents so that attendees can see how confused this topic has become.

In this webinar, Faculty Mike Saurbaugh will discuss security awareness and how organizations can elevate their program to be more effective. Attendees will be presented with ideas to improve their program so that they can beyond the annual “Awareness Month” and check box mandates.
Topics of discussion will include:
·         Developing  a solid foundation for your security awareness program
·         Introducing security awareness to the organization
·         Creating an awareness policy
·         Customizing awareness with role based campaigns
·         Tools and techniques
·         Measuring the results
