The Latest on Identity Management: A Briefing on New Security Guidance and Compliance Requirements

In today’s mobile environment, identity is the new perimeter. Cybersecurity teams cannot work only on trying to secure the edge of their environment. Instead, they must focus on implementing comprehensive solutions for identity and access management (IAM), to ensure only the right people have access to sensitive data and systems.

Evolving standards and new compliance regulations make it even more difficult for state and local agencies to keep up with the latest developments in IAM for constituents engaging with government.

On September 9 at 10:00AM PT/1:00PM ET, join Government Technology and our partners at Auth0 for a briefing on the latest recommendations for data privacy and IAM – and how they will impact your organization’s cyber needs.

Our panel of experts will provide updates on a number of key areas, including:

• Staying compliant with changing FedRAMP and StateRAMP standards
• New security mandates from the federal government, including OMB memos and NIST guidance
• The latest on pending security legislation in Congress
• Extensibility features to look for when considering a new IAM solution
