Ping Identity Outlines Cloud Security Alliance Track at Cloud Identity Summit 2012

Jun 29, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Ping Identity announced details of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) track for this year's Cloud Identity Summit, which takes place July 16-20, at Vail, Colorado's Cascade Resort.

According to a release, the 2012 Cloud Identity Summit explores the role of identity as the new perimeter and examines ways cloud computing, mobile device access and social networking are transforming business and IT.

With more than 36,000 members, the CSA is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote the use of best practices for providing security assurance within cloud computing, and to provide education on the uses of cloud computing to help secure all other forms of computing.

The Cloud Security Alliance track, which begins at 1:30 p.m. MT on Wednesday, July 18, includes the following sessions: Overview of Domain 12 Guidance on Identity Management (Identity, Entitlements and Access) Ulrich Lang, CEO, ObjectSecurity Identity, authorization, and access management includes people, processes, and systems that are used to manage access to enterprise resources by assuring that the identity of an entity is verified, then granting the correct level of access based on this assured identity. The concepts behind identity, entitlement, and access management used in traditional computing require fundamental changes in thinking when implementing a cloud environment. Domain 12 of the CSA Guidance for cloud computing addresses these issues by establishing three discrete functions: Identity, Entitlement, and Authorization/Access Management (IdEA).

CSA Identity Roadmap: SecaaS IAM & Future Directions Ulrich Lang, CEO, ObjectSecurity This session will provide an overview of CSA's current efforts to fit identity, authorization, and access management into the broader context of security as a service (SecaaS).This session presents the draft CSA SecaaS IAM guidance, which discusses what needs to be considered by an organization seeking to implement the IAM component of SecaaS as part of the cloud environment, or an organization that is looking for guidance as to how to assess an IAM SecaaS offering. The session is intended to assist with the planning, design, implementation and assessment of SecaaS offerings.

Issues and Opportunities with Strong Authentication Phil Dunkelberger, CEO, LNR Consulting This session will feature discussion of the widely-acknowledged problems with using account names and passwords to authenticate online. The nature of the breakdown of historical strong authentication will be reviewed, along with key obstacles faced in scaling prior attempted solutions. The interplay of existing systems, ongoing standards-based approaches, and new initiatives will be reviewed, with focus on the key characteristics required for any proposed solution to work at internet/cloud scale.
