Did you miss Tuesday's webcast titled
"Deploying a Continuous Roles Lifecycle
Management Process" from IBM Business Partner
Aveksa?
No worries, click here to listen to the replay now. 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. |
