Vordel and Guest Independent Research Firm present on how to manage Identity Access for the Extended Enterprise
Webinar on using APIs to expose Identity Access Management Data

Boston, MA, November 27, 2012 - Vordel the API Server provider that connects business, mobile and cloud, today announced it will host a free webinar on Thursday 6th December at 8AM PST/11AM EST/ 4PM GMT/5PM CET. In this webinar, Vordel and guest speaker, Eve Maler, Principal Analyst at Forrester, explore how to use Identity Access controls to manage access to sensitive resources that may reside on or off your organization's premises. Attendees will learn how to leverage Identity Access Management (IAM) technologies are adapting as Cloud and Mobile channels extend the edge of the IT infrastructure across multiple domains.

Eve Maler, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research, Inc. said "The extended enterprise requires enterprise applications, identity stores, mobile apps and other systems to generate and consume a variety of identity and access information in order to protect sensitive corporate resources. This information must often flow across system and organization boundaries to account for B2B access, employee single sign-on to cloud apps, mobile app authorization and more" ¹

Federated single sign-on has invaded the social networking world, with the "social sign-in" pattern demonstrating powerful new ways of sourcing identity data. Enterprises managing employee populations can learn from this "social" world by exposing an Application Programming Interface (API) to the identity information for which they're authoritative -- and calling others' APIs for the rest. In this webinar the presenters will examine how to leverage emerging technologies to control access to sensitive resources be they located on or off premise.

• How the consumerization of IT and its cousins are challenging IAM traditions
• How the open Web needs Zero Trust to solve tough security, identity, and agility problems
• How to leverage emerging technologies to provide your own cloud identity services
