XACML Training Workshop, Chicago

Momentum is building in the identity management industry for enterprises to establish an authorization service that is external to business applications, resources and data. In the past, each application “rolled its own” authorization. However, modern enterprises require the flexibility to host application workloads and data in the cloud, in the data center, or to collaborate with partners. Flexibility is not enough, however as enterprises also need the surety that compliance, business and security policies are consistently enforced across all application platforms.

This is where standards-based authorization, built on the XACML specification, is becoming an important infrastructure component for every IT organization. To extend the value proposition, the workshop will cover how XML gateways, Virtual Directory Services and Access Governance complement XACML systems.
