It's never been a more challenging time for Identity and Access Management (IAM).

Banking institutions themselves are ever more complex, what with extended networks of remote employees, contractors and vendors, as well as the number of critical business applications - and private data - they're accessing via these networks.

And then there are the challenging times we're experiencing. Banking institutions are failing and merging; thousands of employees are being laid off - with the remaining workers subject to new levels of stress - and economic conditions have only heightened security threats from inside and outside the institution.

It's time to check and re-check IAM methods, and in this webinar you will hear from industry thought-leaders who will discuss trends and technologies related to all aspects of IAM, including:

• Enrollment/Identification -- Assigning a "persona" to employees
• Authentication -- Validating the employee is legitimate
• Provisioning -- Assigning and rescinding "rights" to an employee
• Review/Monitoring -- Ongoing and periodic validation of users and their rights.
