Virtual panel discussion and breakout sessions provide organizations with the insight they need to address the security risks associated with emerging IT trends.
LINCOLN, RI — October 13, 2011 — Lighthouse Security Group, LLC, is participating in a virtual panel discussion sponsored by IBM addressing key security issues and trends in social media, mobility and the cloud. The virtual panel will be moderated by Derek Brink, Vice President and Research Fellow for IT Security, Aberdeen Group, and will feature Jim Reavis, Executive Director of the Cloud Security Alliance. Eric Z. Maass, Chief Technology Officer, Lighthouse Security Group, Marc V. Zadelhoff, Director of Strategy, IBM Security Solutions, and Latha Maripuri, Director, IBM Security Services will round out the all-star expert panel.
Organizations taking advantage of social media, mobility and cloud-based computing should plan to join this powerful panel discussion on October 18, 2011, at 11:00 am EDT. The panel discussion will be followed by individual breakout presentations covering specific security and compliance risks, proven solutions designed to address those risks, and lessons learned from organizations that have solved these problems.
“This event is particularly valuable for midmarket companies,” said Maass. “Midmarket organizations are adopting social media and cloud services at a faster rate than enterprises, and exploring flexible mobility models such as Bring Your Own Device. As a result, midmarket companies are facing the unique blend of security challenges that are the focus of this event.”
In addition to participating in the panel discussion, Maass will present on identity and access management (IAM) trends in the midmarket space. Specifically, Maass will address the security and IAM challenges associated with the growing array of IT assets located outside the company-controlled network.
“Cloud-based solutions, social networks and mobile devices are difficult to manage with traditional IAM platforms. In addition, midmarket firms tend to have a broader reliance upon external partnerships for growing their businesses,” said Maass. “How do you drive efficiency, security and compliance when you are taking advantage of these diverse external resources? A cloud-based IAM system is a natural fit for bringing this new world together.”
The Lighthouse Gateway cloud-based IAM solution addresses many of the challenges associated with mapping IAM policies, processes and best practices to external IT assets, helping organizations reduce costs, become more agile, support compliance and provide intelligence to support decision-making and business process improvement. Based upon IBM Tivoli IAM software, Lighthouse Gateway delivers the power of a comprehensive IAM platform with the lower cost of ownership, agility, simple usability and quick time-to-deployment of a cloud solution.
