Satisfied with the way you access your systems and information ?

Earlier this year our IDM / IAM conference was directed toward Solutions based upon eID and Identity Management from a best practices and use case approach on a management perspective. During this seminar the objective was to focus more on the technical and implementation approaches, integration issues, products and solutions that allow for a successful result. User provisioning, user federation, directory services with a centralized command and control, what are limitations and expectations. How easily does the current technology allow to integrate with distributed systems and diversified user population.

“The Identity Management Rollercoaster”
by Jan Vanhaecht, IAM Architect, Deloitte Enterprise Risk Services

Lots of Identity and Access Management (IAM) projects are being suspended or even halted.  Is IAM another bubble in the IT space that exploded?  Is IAM still relevant for your organization?  Do you still need “Single Sign On”?  At the same time, a renewed demand for IAM-functionality emerges.  The business requires IAM-functions to support their business. The risks of unauthorized access become ever clearer.  Demonstration of compliance to multiple regulations is needed. Etc.  Is the IAM hype finally over and is the real added value of IAM becoming clear?  During this presentation we will share with you some experience and thoughts and present to you the critical succesfactors to build your organisation’s working IAM-environment.

11.30 : Technical and implementation approaches

Single Sign On (SSO) project with an large Broadband, Telco and Cable TV Service Operator : challenges, opportunities and key learnings
by Stefan Mampaey, Telenet and Stijn van Den Enden, ACA IT-Solutions

Learn how a large broadband operator (Telenet) required a fine grained access control mechanism for all their internal users that could act as a service towards existing and new business applications.
Access control to applications and data based on roles and related entitlements had to be administered centrally according to business rules instead for each application separately. A solution where
policies – access rights to applications and data (a.k.a. entitlements) – are created and managed centrally has been developed.  How this came about and what the key learnings were, was demonstrated.

12.20 : Keynote : Overview of results of European Identity & Access Management Survey

“Insights and trends from over 200 European companies in different countries and sectors”
by Benny Bogaerts, KPMG Advisory Services

What is the status and maturity of identity and access management projects in European organizations.
Find out the recent findings and benchmark some of the results with your own company’s objectives. From this survey it
is clear that Identity Management is here to stay : there are (seperate) budgets, all participants started one or more IAM projects
over the last three years, with main driver being process improvement.

13.10 : Lunch Break

14.00 : Limitations to implemenations

From the experiences in several Identity and Access Management projects and some of the experienced problems a best practice methodology has been developed. Through a series of complementary expertise and joint competencies, typical problems encountered when getting involved in IAM projects range from unrealistic budgets over no business support to the delivered solution not solving the actual problem at hand, need to be overcome in order to achieve a successful IAM project. Through a rigourous methodology and a different approach some pittfalls can be overcome. We will indicate why the tools are ‘just’ the enablers for solving the problems, but that focus should initially be on correctly identifying problems.
