Keynote: Online Identities: The Persona in the Machine
14 November, 2011 (08:15 AM - 09:15 AM)
Our personal identity is being changed as technology becomes the architect of our intimacies, redrawing boundaries between solitude and socialization. Our use of technological identities drives us ironically to be too busy communicating to connect in ways that really matter. Understanding the impact of our digital personas (i.e. the “persona in the machine”) on our real lives is the first step to re-balancing the way we interact as people.
Keynote: Evolving to Survive: How Cloud Computing and GRC Will Impact Your Career
14 November, 2011 (05:30 PM - 06:15 PM)
The next seven years will see as much change in IT, security and IAM organizations as we experienced in the client/server revolution. Your career could be impacted, even totally changed. The early signs are there for us to see and analyze. This keynote will look at cloud computing and the GRC movement to project where you should plan to be in four years so that you can still be employed in seven years.
Keynote: Pattern Based Intelligence: Use IT or Lose Out
15 November, 2011 (08:15 AM - 09:15 AM)
Pattern based intelligence, based on entity link analysis, enables discovery and analytics of fraud rings and collusive activities. It is very useful for catching internal corruption, terrorist activity, homeland security threats, account takeover, welfare and government benefits fraud, pharmaceutical fraud, insurance claims fraud and the like. For security and fraud management to be effective against rapidly evolving threats, pattern seeking must occur both within an organization (to discover internal threats, data breaches and compromised accounts) and also outside the organization (to learn of emerging threats and erect proactive defenses). Entity link analysis can combine internal and external data, both structured and unstructured, to find hidden fraud patterns by discovering relationships that would not be obvious otherwise. This has tremendous potential in many industries. For instance in the insurance industry, such analysis could uncover fake doctors setting up fake clinics and billing for fake lab tests using stolen patient insurance cards and IDs. This session brings together a group of panelists from various industries to look at how pattern based intelligence help their organizations uncover fraud or otherwise unauthorized activity.
Keynote: The IAM Markets: Trends, Market Changes and Products for Better Decision Making
15 November, 2011 (05:00 PM - 06:00 PM)
Over the past decade the IAM market has grown significantly, with products and services now estimated to exceed $3B annually and with a robust annual growth rate. Gartner’s Magic Quadrant and Marketscope research has traced the evolution of the IAM market sectors over that time and has written extensively about the impacts of these products and services on the enterprise. The IAM Markets panel will bring together several Gartner analysts to discuss the results of that research, covering issues such as the following:
