Kantara Initiative is pleased to announce the formation of the Attributes In Motion Work Group (AIMWG). Find out below how to join this exciting new group! This Work Group will create a set of best practice documents around: * The handling of attributes by Identity Providers, Relying Parties, and Service Providers * The definition and proposed use for contexts * The definition, best use, requirements and criteria of an Attribute Broker The Work Group will also continue the work started by the Attribute Management Discussion Group to keep the Repository of links to know work in the attribute space up to date, making sure that relevant work from other Kantara Work Groups as well as outside organizations and governments are collected and shared. The Work Group will explore the concept of an Attribute Broker, defining what an Attribute Broker is, the characteristics of a good attribute broker, and how the use of an Attribute Broker enhances privacy. This will turn in to a set of use cases, a white paper, and eventually a Best Practices document. Thanks to Allan Foster, ForgeRock who will act as Interim Chair.

Still many strategic questions remain around migrating IAM to the cloud. To address the many questions around what it takes to move IAM to the cloud BrightTALK has put together a panel to discuss this in detail. The panel discussion will take aim at the tough questions facing CSOs and CIOs when considering IAM in the cloud. This panel will clarify the major points that organizations have to get right to ensure a successful migration of IAM services to the cloud and how to discover what model makes the most sense for their organization. We have a great group of experts who bring a diversity of views on identity and access management. Our goal as a panel will be to give you enough actionable insight and understanding of the trade-offs to inform your decision making when thinking about IAM and what parts of your security to move to the cloud. The Panel will include: *Jim Reno* Jim is the Chief Architect for Security at CA Technologies. He joined CA with the Arcot acquisition. At Arcot Jim led the development of strong authentication and risk management systems. He has more than 30 years’ experience in software development, working on operating systems, databases, networking, systems management and security. At CA he guides the overall architecture of CA’s security products as well as security aspects of the entire CA portfolio. *Josh Hammer* Josh is the Cloud Product Manager at Mycroft Inc. He works within the development and integration of Mycroft Inc.’s security services. Josh Hammer has an extensive background in the financial services industry, implementing IAM software, as well as providing guidance within enterprise clients’ IAM programs. Josh Hammer assists in the architecture and validation of Mycroft Inc’s specialized offerings, including frameworks for the implementation of commercial identity management products and vertical-specific solutions. *Carlos Garica* Carlos Garcia is an architect and manager of Identity and Access Management services at a large fortune 50 HealthCare company and has 15 years of operations experience implementing and supporting various IAM solutions. Carlos is the local chair of the Ping and CA Twin Cities user groups, but when not looking at the latest innovations in the IAM space, is also an avid motorcycle photographer. And moderating: *Joni Brennan* I am currently serving as their Executive Director at the Kantara Initiative, focusing on Trust Framework Identity Assurance Accreditation and Interoperability Certification. I’ve spent my career deeply embedded in Privacy and Identity standards and have provided guidance and support for varying technical, policy, requirements, and compliance committees. We thank BrightTALK for planning the event and look forward to a lively discussion*!*
