Security Forum

Plenary - Monday 21 Jan & Tuesday 22 Jan:

The conference theme - Integrated Information Infrastructure (In3).
2002 will bring together some of the key visionaries in the open systems, standards and certification worlds and will seek to push forward the boundaries of business information provision, to achieve critical advantage through integration.

Access to integrated information through integrated information infrastructures is the stated need of CIOs who are under pressure to justify what they are doing, to do a better job of providing information in ways that support the changing needs of business, and to keep within tighter budgets.

Security Forum members will want to take advantage of this refresher from indusry luminaries on what is involved:

• The Vision - The vision of the Integrated Information Enterprise and the business value to be gained from it's achievement
• Achieving the Vision
  • Understanding the need / facilitating the solution
  • Case studies / business scenarios
• In3 In Practice - Activities within The Open Group in support of In3

Identity Management Open Day - Wed 23 Jan:

In collaboration with The Open Group's Directory Interoperability Forum (DIF), EMA Forum, and Mobile Management Forum, we present Identity Management: Building an Integrated Information Infrastructure

Having heard in Days 1 & 2 about the In3 vision, how to achieve it, and what we are currently doing about it, this Identity Management Day 3 is dedicated to examining the role of Identity Management in creating an Integrated Information Infrastructure It includes sessions with end-users presenting their needs, vendors presenting their proposed solutions, and The Open Group presenting the key business drivers that have been identified through business scenario analysis. In the closing session, attendees will be invited to reflect on what we’ve heard and add to it.

Identity Management clearly relates strongly to infirmation security, so we have much to contribute and learn from listening to customers and key vendors (Microsoft on Passport, and the Liberty Alliance) about this topic, and we expect to also connect with professionals from the leading vendor and end-user organizations involved in this subject area.

Topics that will be covered:

• Building identity management into an integrated information infrastructure
• Requirements:
• Identity Management in Healthcare
• Identity Management for the General Public
• Managing Suppliers' Identities
• Identity Management in a Mobile Environment
• Role-Based Authorization and Access Control
• Possible solutions and how far they go:
• Microsoft’s Passport - one name, one password
• Liberty Alliance - single sign-on for all, in an open, federated way
• The way ahead:
• Business scenario for identity management – the key business drivers
• Your feedback, in a Q&A panel closing session
