Description: Although roles-based access control (RBAC) has been the subject of much interest in the past, experience with it has been mostly disappointing. Dealing with the complexity of managing roles at the infrastructure level (applications, data, files, file shares, host and network level) is daunting to organizations, and an obstacle to deploying effective roles-based governance. Role design should first and foremost relate to business process. As compliance is written from a business process perspective, this approach will make it easier to achieve compliance with various regulations. It also ensures that the resulting business roles are more effective at streamlining compliance and making it more sustainable thereby enabling organizations to proactively manage access-related risks.

Join Pavan Pant, Director Product Management at Aveksa as he presents on how to deploy a continuous roles lifecycle management process and ensure regulatory compliance. The session will cover the following topics:

  • The challenge of governing user access to information resources
  • The new role design methodology - creating a top down and bottom-up hybrid approach
  • Best practices for role-based access governance
  • How role management simplifies compliance and speeds up initial access delivery and change
  • Implementing a continuous process for role lifecycle management
  • Why roles require continuous lifecycle management - roles are a process not a project
  • Role design, discovery & engineering
  • A metrics driven approach to roles maintenance via sophisticated role analytics & maintenance
  • A discussion on how roles-based governance adds value to existing identity management deployments to enable good security governance by using Aveksa's integration with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager as an illustration
