Helping Organizations Succeed in an Identity-Centric Security World

While the discipline of identity and access management has been around for over 20 years, most have fallen into the field of identity and had to learn along the way. Only with the alarming number of breaches related to compromised identities, the profession has matured and become a critical need in security organizations. In the last 5 years, two organizations have emerged to address the changing identity industry – the Identity Defined Security Alliance with a focus on educating IT professionals on the importance of securing digital identities, and IDPro the first and only professional organization for identity practitioners.

In this webinar featuring IDPro Executive Director Heather Vescent and Target Sr. Director of Cybersecurity Tom Sheffield, you’ll hear how IDPro is supporting the growing, global community of professionals and how enterprises can leverage these two organizations – IDSA and IDPro – to improve their strategy and execution.
