Why you can't miss this event !
Spending on identity management (IdM) is set to surge by £5.2bn in the next four years.
The identity-management market is approaching a crossroads: the complexity of managing users across organisations is increasing, end-user resistance to being held responsible for managing credentials is increasing, security requirements to preserve privacy and prevent identity theft are increasing, and IT budgets for the technology are decreasing.
With the growth of e-business, business organisations are wrestling with the task of managing secure access to information and applications scattered across a wide range of internal and external computing systems. Furthermore, these companies have to provide access to a growing number of users, both inside and outside the corporation, without diminishing security or exposing sensitive information. The management of multiple versions of user identities across multiple applications makes the task even more daunting.
As identity management initiatives become increasingly mission-critical, organizations need a way to centralize the management and monitoring of their identity systems from the operating system through the application layer to the end-user. This conference aims at bringing together the users and suppliers of IM solutions and technology to discuss business and government initiatives, latest trends and developments, large scale deployments, partnerships & alliances, developing standards, new applications, new business opportunities and future direction.
