Lighthouse Security Group will be joined by customer Molson Coors to discuss the benefits of Identity and Access Management in the cloud.
LINCOLN, RI — February 14, 2011 — Lighthouse Security Group and IBM customer Molson Coors Brewing Company will co-present a breakout session on identity and access management (IAM) during Pulse 2011, which will be held February 27 through March 2 at the MGM Grand Convention Center and Hotel in Las Vegas. The presentation, explaining the benefits of the Lighthouse Gateway cloud-based IAM solution, will be led by Eric Z. Maass, Enterprise Security Solutions Director for Lighthouse Security Group, and Kevin Schmitt, Chief Information Security Officer at Molson Coors.
Pulse is IBM’s premiere Tivoli customer event, designed to help organizations discover the best practices, solutions and expertise needed to optimize infrastructure, people and processes.
IAM continues to grow in critical importance due to IT sprawl, expanding regulations and the need for centralized identity governance. However, businesses often struggle with the daunting technology that surrounds a typical IAM solution. IAM is a costly proposition requiring significant capital investments, time and skills to get a project off the ground and keep an operational system running.
Lighthouse and Molson Coors will introduce Pulse2011 attendees to Lighthouse Gateway, which leverages the power of cloud computing to provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional IAM products. With Lighthouse Gateway, customers gain access to mature IBM Tivoli technology in an IAM-as-a-Service (IAMaaS) platform. Documented case study data will show how the Lighthouse Gateway solution delivers impressive ROI by reducing IAM implementation costs and lowering the total cost of IAM ownership — all due to the efficiencies of the IAMaaS delivery model.
“Lighthouse Gateway is a comprehensive solution that addresses today’s IAM challenges while delivering all of the benefits of cloud technology,” said Maass. “While many cloud-based solutions force customers to compromise, Lighthouse Gateway provides the power and performance of IBM Tivoli IAM with up to 60 percent savings in total cost of ownership. Lighthouse Gateway has been recognized with awards from IBM and Gartner recognizing the benefits this industry-leading solution brings to customers.”
The Lighthouse Security Group/Molson Coors presentation, “IBM Identity and Access Management in the Cloud: Lessons from Molson Coors Brewing Company,” will be held Wednesday, March 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the MGM Conference Center, Level 1, Room 123.
