Microsoft Webcast: Microsoft Vision and Strategy for Identity and Access Management  

Identity and access management in connected systems is more than a technical concern—it is becoming a top business issue as well. Organizations are looking to reduce security risks, decrease operational costs, satisfy regulatory requirements, and deepen their electronic relationships with customers and partners. Join us to learn more about the Microsoft vision for identity and access management technology, including the evolution of the Active Directory directory service, Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS), Windows CardSpace, and Microsoft Certificate Lifecycle Manager (CLM).

Presenter: Peter Houston, Senior Director, Microsoft Corporation
