User Identity Life-cycle Management - the Business Solution
This session will discuss User Identity Life cycle management, what this means and how it addresses the specific business needs.  User Identity life cycle management addresses the business issues of governing user access to resources and measuring the compliance to policy.  Each time a user joins, leaves, changes job role or request access to a new resource means that a process has to be followed. These processes can be complex and take a significant amount of time to enforce and measure leading to costly business expense and lost productivity for a business.
