What is Identity Management?
Identity Management (Identity & Access Management) systems are a central and often mandatory aspect of the IT ecosystem of the company. These systems provide users with access to resources and applications, and answer the most important questions in a security incident - who, what and when. Additionally, by modeling the organization's business processes, Identity Management systems increase productivity and are an excellent tool for achieving a high level of cyber security.
Who is this conference for:
Business and IT Management, as well as employees with operational functions in the Cyber Security, Access Management and Identity Management departments
