The challenges have
become greater than ever to securely manage who has access to what,
what can be done with that access, and under what circumstances.
The OASIS consortium presents a webinar that takes you beyond
product hype to the root of the solution. The OASIS Extensible
Access Control Markup Language (XACML) is an open standard widely
adopted by vendors, demanded by customers, and “deemed
essential” by analysts. Defining a core XML schema for representing
authorization and entitlement policies, XACML goes beyond simply
denying or granting information access. XACML defines the mechanism
for creating the rules and policy sets that enable meaningful
authorization decisions. A brief introduction will be presented by
Martin Kuppinger, Founder and Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole.
This webinar will consist of three parts:
1. Overview of Access Control. We’ll explain the architecture
of an XACML-based system, general operation of the XACML policy language,
and key features provided by the different XACML Profiles.
2. XACML 3.0. You’ll learn about the new features in XACML
3.0 and the ways it can be used to improve performance.
You’ll also get a better understanding for how XACML can
leverage distributed access control management in Cloud and
Federated environments.
3. Use Cases. Where the rubber meets the road, we’ll describe
how to use XACML 3.0 for solving your most complex data protection
use cases.
This webinar will be of interest to security managers and
application developers, enterprise architects, audit and compliance
managers, end-users and procurement officers, anyone involved in
evaluating access-control products.
You will learn:
* how XACML-based systems can reduce application development costs
* ways to future-proof the security of applications using Access
Control
* how applications can become interoperable with external
authorization sources
* how XACML-based products can streamline security administration
and make audit and compliance possible.
