 November 15, 2007 A Practical Approach to Securing Sensitive Data
Every day a large company makes front page news by inadvertently leaking employee data, resulting in significant legal and financial liability, a damaged corporate reputation, and a distracted executive team. QUALCOMM has the need to assert fine-grained access control on its applications and data, similar to the security and compliance driven needs of many Fortune 500 enterprises. In the past, QUALCOMM has addressed this need through internal custom development because standards and standard-compliant products did not exist in the marketplace. That has changed recently.
In this presentation Tom Bridges will share the drivers for fine-grained access control within HR applications. He will also discuss the architectural approach QUALCOMM selected to address the needs for fine-grained access control in a cost-effective and consistent manner, using Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) as the standard.

October 9, 2007 A More Effective Approach to Securing Sensitive Enterprise Data
In the interests of enhancing sales, reducing costs, and increasing customer satisfaction, companies are collecting and using more and more customer data and transaction records. However this source of efficiency is also the source of the greatest financial and legal risk. Whether it is customer data, employee data, or financial data, this information is likely governed by a data protection mandate such as PCI, HIPAA, GLBA, or SOX and it seems we read about a new incident of data leakage and compliance violation every day. In all cases, the company suffers from stiff financial penalties, degradation in business confidence, and a distracted management team. This webinar will provide an overview of an Entitlement Management solution for access to information stored in databases, which provides enterprises the level of visibility, control, and auditing necessary to meet their data security and compliance objectives.
In particular this webinar will focus on:
- Current trends and drivers within the data security industry
- Existing security challenges facing enterprises
- Recommended steps for safeguarding corporate confidential data

 July 31, 2007 The Next Wave in Identity and Access Management
Building a Policy Management Framework to Address the Entitlements Challenge
Analysts from independent firm Forrester Research will discuss developing and deploying an enterprise policy framework, powered by an Entitlement Management solution, to address the security needs of critical enterprise applications. A policy management framework governs access rights, or entitlements, and delivers it as a robust infrastructure service that can be shared and leveraged across many applications. In the absence of such a policy framework, enterprises would have to embed security logic into applications and thus impact developer productivity and business agility. In addition, organizations face increased risks and costs from managing entitlements in silos, while also rendering governance and compliance difficult, if not impossible, to achieve.
During this webinar, you will learn:
- Why traditional Identity and Access Management tools are inadequate to address today’s complex enterprise security requirements
- Why Forrester Research considers Entitlement Management a critical component of an identity-enabled infrastructure
- How to create an effective policy management framework with an Entitlement Management solution
- How Securent’s product is integrated with your applications and existing IAM and security infrastructures
