IAM has come of age and is now branching out in some very interesting ways.  As organisations strive to provide better control to their protected resources they are increasingly relying on their identity management infrastructure.  SharePoint should rely on AD groups to control access to documents, applications should externalise their authorisation to a central decision point and network devices should dynamically check a user’s permissions before granting access to a sub-net.  This track will explore the ways in which infrastructure is developing to accommodate these trends: how we ensure we collect sufficient identity information to service relying applications, how we grant access to the appropriate identity repositories and how we manage the required interfaces.  We will look at the impact that increased reliance on identity services has on organisations and the changes that we need to anticipate in our infrastructure planning.
