The following five steps are some very effective ways to improve data security in a cost-effective manner and are the first steps toward readying an organization for more robust data protection measures such as DLP. 

A common requirement in many of today’s compliance mandates relate to the concept of knowing who users are, what applications and resource they have access to, and when they access them. In this paper, uncover how to maintain continuous compliance though a centralized and integrated identity and access management (IAM) platform. 

The majority of user authentication schemes today still use userid and password. The burden to users of managing large numbers of userids and passwords has led to proposals for Federated Identity systems, where a single set of credentials can be used to authenticate with several organisations, which have agreed to work together as a federation. 

A new, more flexible identity infrastructure is on the horizon. With the growing adoption of federation standards and protocols, such as SAML 2.0, OpenID, and WS-Trust, both enterprises and end users will benefit from enhanced security, increased privacy, and a better experience. Read this white paper for more information about the new system. 

The increasing adoption of cloud services has greatly impacted the way organizations must manage identity and access. In this webcast, explore the need for a new model for identity management and authentication and uncover how to effectively secure and manage control of access to the new, distributed application environment. 

Organization's today have their hands full trying to adhere to regulatory requirements and reduce IT risks, all while looking for innovative ways to grow their business. This paper uncovers how to gain continuous and sustainable control and compliance though IAM, while strengthening the trust and satisfaction of your customers and partners. 

With ever-changing user populations, access points and applications, advancements in computing and stringent compliance requirements, identity and access management (IAM) has become more complex than ever. In this paper, explore how to improve visibility and control to protect assets and ensure you provide the right access to the right people. 

As more people cross more borders – physically and virtually – the need to implement a reliable human identity system for proper verification becomes crucial. Read on to see how IBM dissuades credential abuse while helping customs, border management and law enforcement organizations ensure the safety and security of citizens and workers. 

This paper first explores the challenges of adding cloud applications to IAM infrastructures, and then explains how a federated identity service based on virtualization can enable single sign-on across your enterprise and cloud applications. 

Most enterprises already have a heavy investment in Active Directory. Find out how your business can leverage AD for a more efficient and responsive identity management system. 

<p>Organizations often struggle to fully realize the benefits of virtualization due to the complexity of controlling identities, access and information. In this resource, uncover how to successfully deploy virtualization projects, while providing the right security controls over privileged user access across virtual and physical environments.</p> 

While implementing virus protection, firewalls and data encryption can keep bad guys out, it’s important to remember that threats can also come from within. In this paper, explore the rise and challenges of insider threats and how privileged identity management can enable organizations to improve security, transparency and accountability.
