My colleague Colm just drew my attention to a really excellent event happening up in Belfast on May 18th. Rafal Lukawiecki will be coming to the Europa Hotel in Belfast to present an IT Security event: Identity and Access Management for a Heterogeneous environment.  Rafal is one of the top global speakers on the IT circuit (he has won best presenter at the Microsofts TechEd and IT Forum events for more years than I can remember). A really great speaker and not one to miss!

A typical corporate user spends an average of 16 minutes a day just logging on.  At this seminar, we share with you how you can remove one of the fastest growing headaches of IT operations.

Most enterprises have reached a point of identity crisis: they manage too many incompatible identity directories and access management systems for comfort, with the business agility suffering in consequence. Identity Lifecycle Management and Access Management are not simple, but if done well they can increase efficiency and security and reduce the total cost of ownership.  This TechNet Seminar, by Rafal Lukawiecki, provides an overview of all the key elements of a working solution, including a look at the Microsoft Identity Integration Server, Active Directory Federation Services, Authorization Manager, Strong Authentication, Biometrics, Smartcards, and Identity Metasystem vision.

This Seminar aims to ensure that all attendees understand the breadth of identify management and will explode the myths of this field of IT. As a result of attending this seminar, you should be in a position to start planning their IAM deployments, thus helping your organisation become more efficient and secure.
