09.50Featured presentation: Don’t sacrifice growth for security

Historically, companies have implemented identity management programs out of fear of what would happen if they didn't.  And while the ability to manage who accesses your system is paramount to mitigating risk and complying with regulations, there's a brighter side.

An effective identity management program will cover your security bases while also providing the freedom to grow as quickly as your business will allow.
