Identity as a Service

Description

Overview: Government, enterprises and communities can no longer ignore the extensive array of digital threats with new hacks and breaches occurring daily all over the world. These breaches are not only costly, but affect the safety and health of the people trusting online services. In 2017, a major event with ransomware occurred named WannaCry which hit over 99 countries affecting thousands of hospitals, businesses, banks and more. Identity as a Service platforms are emerging as ideally suited to extend enterprise defense perimeters to the identity layer. These internet-scale, extensible service platforms enable cost-effective, real-time adaptive authentication services driven by application, enterprise and community policy requirements.

Federal Presentation: This session begins with a presentation session for the IDaaS theme followed by a Panel Session as follows:

• Presentation Session
  •  Presenter – Matt Cochran, VP Product Management and Operations, ID Dataweb
    As identity breaches continue to make headlines, several organizations are moving to continuous identity verification as a way to close the trust-gap between end user account opening and ongoing authentication. In this presentation, Matt Cochran will present several industry use cases on this emerging technique, which allows existing federated identity platforms (like CA SSO, PingFederate, Okta or SailPoint) to evoke adaptive authentication services that inject 3rd party verified attributes into their federated login flows. Using this technique, organizations can quickly modify security policy and detect and react to real world changes in ways not possible before.
• Panel Session: The panel will cover Identity as a Service (IDaaS) with a focus on government customers and contractors. There are 3 key questions that will be answered during this panel.
  • What solutions are customers looking for that cover a broader set of requirements than can be offered in existing enterprise class platforms?
  • What is currently available in the marketplace to satisfy customer needs regarding IDaaS?
  • How does IDaaS compliment and enable existing enterprise class platforms to fulfil all current needs related to human identity authentication online?
