Technology professionals sometimes refer to "once-in-a-generation" trends that transform IT as nothing before. Today, IT is facing not one, but three such transformations: Driven by the ubiquity of Web technologies and the efficiencies of virtualization, the enterprise data center has become much more agile in responding to fast-changing business IT needs. These trends have also made IT-as-a-service possible as never before, as the Cloud enables businesses to embrace concepts from infrastructure on demand to SaaS. A new generation of mobile devices that have revolutionized personal technology and expanded the reach of business IT. These transformations have placed enormous challenges on the enterprise. In particular: How to manage security and policy across each of these environments, consistently and reliably…without breaking the bank? Join EMA Managing Research Director, Scott Crawford, and Centrify CEO, Tom Kemp, for this complimentary Webinar that will highlight one of the most important factors of any answer to that question: the central role of identity in unifying a strategy that yields consistent control over each of these disruptive domains, with tangible results.
Everyone has Active Directory. Active Directory is an awesome directory, especially for its ease of use and out-of-the-box fault-tolerance and bandwidth sensitivity. And maintaining duplicate user accounts, dealing with out-of-sync identity and authorization information is not fun on so many levels. So it only makes sense to integrate UNIX, Linux and Mac systems with Active Directory. Consolidating to one user account and even single-sign on has never been more doable.
But there are so many ways to skin the cat depending on whether you use Kerberos or LDAP for authentication and whether you settle for just centralizing user accounts (authentication) or whether you also move authorization (basically group membership) to Active Directory as well. In this on-demand webinar, guest speaker Randy Franklin Smith of Ultimate Windows Security explains the "Five Possible End States" for UNIX/Active Directory integration and compares a number of the technology options available to reach those end states.

Jeremy's predicament — He is an IT admin and a critical server he manages has been breached! Jeremy's co-workers and manager consider him suspect number one. But wait, IT security has recently installed a new auditing solution that will clear Jeremy's name or send him packing...watch this video to learn how Jeremy cleared his name.
The on-going efforts to reform Federal IT are focused on consolidation of data centers across Civilian and Defense Agencies. In the process Federal IT leaders hope to promote shared services and cloud computing models. Regardless of their location, systems and applications need to be secured, controlled and audited for compliance. Clearly, data center consolidation success requires centralization of identities on UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X systems in order to achieve compliance and enable shared services.
European Banks and other Financial Services firms are faced every day with complex and prescriptive IT compliance regulations from every level of government and industry. Compliance, Security and IT Operations professionals have responded by creating internal 'audit points' to improve visibility into their operations. But these teams are challenged by the separate and fractured identity and access management silos that create gaps in security, make compliance difficult and IT operations inefficient.
Many organizations are facing a Catch-22 when it comes to migrating applications to the cloud. They get the biggest ROI by moving business-critical apps that need to scale rapidly and on-demand. But these are precisely the applications that need the tightest security controls. Executive management is pressing for progress on cost savings, but sorting through the variety of security issues unique to cloud environments can be dauntingly complex. The solution is to break the process of securing cloud servers into a set of well defined, achievable steps that enable IT organizations to securely extend their existing enterprise infrastructure out into their cloud environment. In this free webinar, we will initially discuss the key requirements for securing cloud systems. David McNeely, senior director of product management at Centrify, will then present a five-step process, using Amazon EC2 as an example, for automating provisioning of security policies, centralizing account and privilege management, hardening network access, auditing systems, and implementing enterprise-centric single sign-on. Uri Budnik, ISV Program Director at RightScale, will describe how RightScale's ServerTemplate and RightScripts can be used to achieve the automated provisioning and system lockdown.
In this free webinar jointly sponsored by Canonical and Centrify, you’ll learn how many organizations are enabling the broader deployment of Ubuntu by integrating it into their existing Active Directory infrastructure and management processes. By using Centrify’s Canonical-certified solution, they can go beyond simply offering transparent sign-on to Ubuntu systems and can in addition deliver on five key requirements for enterprise deployments.
Organizations moving their IT resources to the cloud are finding it a challenge to maintain the same security posture in their virtual environments that they have adopted in their physical data centers. Cloud platforms like VMware vCloud and Amazon EC2 enable the quick and easy creation of servers in response to end-user demand. In such dynamic environments, IT security and compliance managers need an automated method for consistently provisioning user accounts and privileges and enforcing system security policies. Other unique challenges include: isolating groups of servers for compliance reasons, protecting data as it moves across the public network, and auditing user activity on off-premise, virtual systems.
Complying with PCI regulations in heterogeneous environments can be a complex and costly initiative. Leveraging your existing IT infrastructure offers a simpler and cost-effective way to address the sections of the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) that matter most to IT managers - without sacrificing manageability and productivity. Join our panel of experts for an informative webinar to learn how you can address the regulatory requirements of the PCI standards by linking all your access rights, privileges, and audit logs into a single, definitive Active Directory identity.
Most security experts will tell you that the formula for success in passing regulatory compliance audits can be complex and expensive - but how complex and expensive is it really? Join us for an educational and insightful hour-long webinar in which our panel of experts will explain how requirements such as PCI DSS, Sarbanes-Oxley, FISMA and others can be broken down into their constituent parts and each element tackled with commonsense principles.
