Webinar: Using Standards to manage access to SOA and Cloud Services 16.12.2010 , 5:00pm CET, 11:00am EST
In this webinar you learn how a Gateway and a Policy Server work together to apply policies to SOA and Cloud services. These policies control not only who can access the services, but also when they can access the services, how they can use the services, and how the access control decision is made. A best practice framework will be described, which scales to high-volume usage and allows reuse of these policies, promoting efficiency and reducing time-to-market and development costs. Besides KuppingerCole´s Senior Analyst Felix Gaehtgens, who will give an introduction and moderate the webinar, Gerry Gebel, David Brossard (both Axiomatics) and Mark O’Neill (Vordel) will give their view on standards-based policies for SOA and Cloud.

Webinar: XACML Based Authorization - Considerations for an Efficient and Flexible Architecture 11.11.2010 , 17:00 CET, 11am EST
Attribute based authorization, using XACML, is the vanguard approach for enforcing business and security policies in the 21st century. However, XACML does not live by policies alone - it consumes privilege-granting attributes from various identity sources. For this webinar, KuppingerCole have brought together pioneers in XACML and attribute management, Axiomatics and Radiant Logic respectively, to discuss architectural considerations for a standards based solution to externalize authorization. KuppingerCole´s Senior Analyst Felix Gaehtgens will interview Gerry Gebel, David Brossard (Axiomatics) and Lisa Grady (Radiant Logic) on how an XACML based authorization solution should be architected and implemented to gain the most business value.

Webinar: Policy Based Access Control with XACML 3.0 22.10.2010 , 17:00 CET
Version 3 of the XACML standard could be a large stride forward towards a flexible and versatile access management. As opposed to traditional role-based access control systems, XACML is policy driven, not role driven. So, should we throw away now role-based access control? In this webinar, Kuppinger Cole´s Senior Analyst Felix Gaehtgens will talk about the improvements achieved with this new standard version and describe, how these improvements can influence current and future access control initiatives. Felix will be followed by former Burton Group Analyst and now Axiomatics Americas President Gerry Gebel, who will present together with his collegue David Brossard an impressive XACML 3.0 best practice with 200 Million users.

Webinar: How to Efficiently Implement SoD Controls: Which Level Works? 09.12.2009 , 17:00-18:00 CET, 11am Eastern
SoD controls (Segregation of Duties) are a cornerstone of access governance. But how to efficiently implement them? Should they be based on roles, on activities, on granular entitlements? There are many different approaches to solve the problem. In this panel, different vendors and Kuppinger Cole analysts will discuss different approaches for SoD controls, with focus on their manageability and the required granularity. Information

Webinar: The Role of Entitlement Management in Governance, Risk and Compliance Management 13.10.2009 , 16:00 CEST
Modern IT infrastructures empower their users and thereby introduce new risks. The effectiveness and efficiency of control frameworks and GRC programs are therefore becoming an increasingly important focus area for IT and business managers alike. Yet, GRC initiatives tend to be reactive, striving to optimize monitoring, surveillance and auditing capabilities and the GRC overhead keeps growing. Instead we need risk-intelligence built into our IT-infrastructures. This is what Entitlement Management helps achieve. Entitlement Management provides real-time enforcement of policy-based access controls based on policy modeling implementing regulatory compliance and risk mitigation plans. This enables a shift from reactive surveillance to proactive enforcement which reduces the GRC overhead and improves control efficiency. This webinar is supported by Axiomatics. Information
Webinar: Beyond Role Based Access Control - the ABAC Approach 29.09.2009 , 16:00 CEST
In this webinar we discuss the original ideas behind RBAC and why large RBAC projects often lead to role explosion problems and therefore fail in their initial ambitions. We also introduce the concept of Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) which overcomes some of the well-known problems with RBAC and enables a fine-grained and contextual (adaptive) access control. ABAC meets the requirements of modern IT-infrastructures where dynamically changing needs must be captured and dealt with in real-time. This Webinar is supported by Axiomatics. Information

Webinar: Entitlement Management - Business and Technical Perspectives 20.01.2009 , 17:00 - 17:45 CET (16:00 UTC)
The question on how to control and secure access to resources has become an even more critical topic, as monolithic applications more and more become legacy and service oriented architectures (SOA) are taking over the regime. In this webinar we will give an overview of the emerging field of Entitlement Management and the XACML standard as a possibility to externalize identity management into an abstraction layer across multiple applications and services.

Product Report: Axiomatics Policy Server and Policy Auditor 11.03.2010 Felix Gaehtgens €95.00
This product report covers the Axiomatics Policy Server and the accompanying Policy Auditor. These products fall into the category of Entitlement Management solutions. They use the XML-based XACML standard – Extensible Access Control Markup Language – to define authorisation policies and make access control decisions. Agents are available for the Java and .NET platform that work together with the Policy Server in order to enforce the policies. Axiomatics has distinguished itself from other vendors in this space by focusing on a solution that consistently implements and complies with the XACML standard. Axiomatics internally uses XACML for policy storage and authoring as well as the XACML query/response language for Policy Enforcement Points. This is different from the approach of some other vendors who have implemented the XACML query/response language on top of existing access control engines which then also may use a different (usually simpler) model to author...
