Welcome once again to IDM 2009 - The Third Annual Identity Management Conference and Exhibition for what has now become the UK’s most prestigious and topical event surrounding the deployment of Enterprise-Wide Identity and Access Management across Business, Government, Finance and Industry.

Lost business because customers don't have access when they need it. Months spent producing regulatory compliance reports for auditors. Breaches of identity and access management (IAM) lead to billions of pounds of losses each year, both reported and unreported. On the flip side, there's the confusion, frustration and lost productivity organizations must deal with as they struggle to manage legitimate access for their employees, partners and customers to the electronic systems they genuinely need.

AppGate UK territory manager Jamie Bodley-Scott will give a presentation about:

Access or Identity – Chicken or Egg?   

The Jericho Forum is championing change in the way people think about Identity and Access Management. These are absolutely key elements for organisations looking to work effectively in an increasingly De-Perimeterised environment. Current Identity and Access Management approaches, do not scale, are disparate and expensive and only offer security because of the labour overhead they utilise.
Todays linkage between Identity and Access needs to be broken and rebuilt for tomorrow's enterprise.  The fashionable Role Based model can be implemented to some extent using Access Control Lists but to be effective and scalable it needs to be Claims based. But what is Claims Based Access and how do you go about moving your enterprise towards this goal?
