*Attend the BrightTALK Panel:* Moving IAM to the Cloud *As part of:* Cloud and Virtualization Security Summit *Date:* October 17 *Time:* 8:00 PT / 11:00 ET / 17:00 CET *Link:* http://www.brighttalk.com/r/rkb Identity and Access Management (IAM) in the cloud has emerged as an important issue for IT and Security teams across all types of organizations. 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.
