CTO Darren Platt, a Key Contributor Behind SAML Standard, will Explain How Identity and Access Management are Core Requirements for Cloud Security

--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Symplified:

WHO: Darren Platt is co-founder and CTO of Symplified, the Cloud Security Company. He is a thought leader on identity management technology, and co-authored the AuthXML specification which was combined with Netegrity’s S2ML to create Oasis’ SAML standard. Previously Mr. Platt was vice president of engineering at Web access management market originator Securant Technologies, where he managed development of the ClearTrust product until its acquisition by RSA Security in 2001.

WHAT: Enterprises that deploy cloud services must manage user access to applications that reside outside the firewall. While access control and identity management have always been difficult to implement, the disappearing perimeter has made this challenge even more complicated. In this session, Mr. Platt will discuss the technical and organizational challenges associated with cloud identity. He will explore the necessary components for securing cloud services, including authentication, access control, federated single sign-on (SSO), user management, provisioning and auditing. In this session attendees will:

Hear how identity management can be used to centralize cloud security
Learn about the role of identity standards and how they can be used for cloud security management
Find out how enterprise identity infrastructures like Active Directory, LDAP, etc. can be extended for cloud authentication
Learn how to secure cloud apps when they are accessed from mobile devices
Acquire a blueprint for streamlining their cloud identity management deployments
