PlainID is the world's leading provider of enterprise Authorization, helping enterprises address the complex challenges of Identity Security. The PlainID Platform allows you to discover, manage, and authorize access control policies for enterprise applications and data. Our solution is architected to protect against identity-centric security threats powered by Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC).

Join Mickey Martin, VP of Sales Engineering, and Nick Hunt, Founder, Chief Identity Officer, HATSec, as they discuss what it means to adopt Policy Based Access Control, and how this changes how identity teams attest compliance to audit. In the world of Identity Audits, we are used to looking at reports of which users are granted membership into roles, groups, and entitlements and making assumptions about access based on company knowledge. Centralized Management of authorization policies takes out the guesswork of how authorization is decided based on identities controlled in IGA and context of access being requested.

Talking Points & Key Takeaways:
- What does it mean to Centralize Authorization in your ecosystem?
- How does Dynamic Authorization reduce risk and minimize exposure due to standing privilege?
- How does this affect periodic attestations and compliance to support identity audits?
- Discuss the importance of looking at both sides of the Identity-Centric Security Coin - Identity attributes, roles, groups, entitlements and how Authorizations allows or denies user actions based on these identities.
- How do we design an Identity program that tightens security vs checks the boxes? We tend to build systems that answer to the audit vs. answer to attack.

Audit What’s Not There: Shifting Mindset and Compliance in a Dynamic Policy Driven Environment

Join Mickey Martin, VP of Sales Engineering, as he dives into a PlainID customer’s Authorization Journey, including a multistage experience that aimed at establishing a centralized, fine-grained, scalable, and modernized identity & authorization framework.

Talking Points & Key Takeaways:

- How the customer understood the technology gap, and how traditional RBAC solutions did not adequately manage access to data for complex, distributed applications.

- How PBAC (Policy Based Access Control) addresses and solves the gap by providing a cutting-edge approach to authorization, offering a hybrid of Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and Attribute Based Access Control’s (ABAC) strongest features.

- Discuss the vendor selection criteria for PBAC and why PlainID has more breadth and offers a one-stop solution for most application/data PBAC requirements. 

- Understand the pathway to a successful implementation of Policy Based Access Control (PBAC).

Customer’s AuthZ Journey: Global 100 Firm Externalized Access Control Policies to Optimize Data Access Compliance w PBAC

A poor access control and authorization strategy not only exposes valuable data to adversarial activity, but also limits data sharing, collaboration and business agility. Homegrown and legacy authorization technologies have become outdated  - unable to be extended and support contemporary use cases focused on sharing, security, and usability. A more identity-centric approach to authorization can securely protect a broader array of assets, and engage the right stakeholders to create human-readable and adaptive access control policy that improves security, reduces risk, and supports business change.

This webinar will discuss the rise of this identity-centric approach, the core requirements focused on centralized policy management, a broad array of integration options, and a discussion on migration approaches to this new landscape.

Migrating to an Identity Centric Authorization Strategy

Traditionally, Authorization has been coded into every application. With the move to lightweight digital services, however, this becomes unwieldy and impractical. Businesses need to move fast to provide customer-driven, unattended transactions and responsive customer experiences.

Enterprises have continued to tackle Authorization with homegrown solutions, yet industry analysts have been validating the need for externalized Authorization for the last several years.

Join Mickey Martin, VP of Sales Engineering, PlainID, and  Hub City Media’s CTO & Co-founder, Steve Giovannetti to talk about how homegrown and legacy authorization solutions do not align to modern business standards, driving the demand for an Enterprise Authorization solution.

- Importance of Authorization in a Zero Trust Framework
  * Where and why does authorization fit?
  * Increase Security resiliency post AuthN & Network Access Control
- Zero Trust and compliance with Data Regulations 
  * The role of Authorization & a Zero Trust framework in supporting data privacy 
 efforts   
- Importance of Visibility, Manageability & Enforcement of Access Control
  * Visibility and analytics are vital to a Zero Trust framework

Why Authorization is Key in Achieving Your Zero Trust Journey

For years organizations either relied on course-grained access controls or attempted to implement complex and unmanageable controls for access to specific data. When organizations attempt to control data level access using roles, the result is role explosion.  Attribute-based access helped control access to specific data values but even then access was siloed and segregated into its respective data stores.

Using modern, policy-based authorization, organizations now can more easily control access to specific data and infrastructure components and put security controls in place that prevent detrimental actions (intentionally or unintentionally).  
Learn how leading-edge organizations have deployed identity-centric access throughout the infrastructure stack using fine-grained authorization.  This includes access to microservices, APIs, and other infrastructure that typically relies on generic system accounts.  Apply policies to enable control over this access based on the individual or process that initiated the transaction (i.e., last-mile security).

By attending the webinar you will:
- Have a better understanding of Policy-based Access Control (PBAC) and identity-centric access
-  Learn how to apply PBAC to control access to specific data and infrastructure components
-  See how leading-edge organizations have taken advantage of PBAC
-  See a demo of an exciting sensitive data use case
- Understand how to move your organization to the next level of access control

Finally, a Solution to Control Access!
