The rapid growth of organizations, ever-changing company policies, and mergers and acquisitions often lead to the need for complex identity solutions that require integration with multiple heterogeneous systems.
This class will discuss why enterprises are replacing traditional centralized identity management systems with identity federation solutions to manage their complex environments. It also will examine how identity federation enables organizations to link multiple identities that belong to different trust domains by means of a common set of policies, practices, and protocols. Through use cases, it then will present the challenges that arise when introducing identity federation and explore how to leverage identity federation patterns to overcome these challenges.
Darshana Gunawardana, WSO2 associate technical lead, and Omindu Rathnaweera, WSO2 senior software engineer, will jointly present the class on Tuesday, July 18, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PDT.

Software as a service (SaaS) is rapidly emerging as the dominant delivery model for enterprise IT services. This growth raises new enterprise security concerns and requirements, which are compounded by the rising use of mobile solutions to access SaaS applications.
This class examines how a complete IAM solution can address the challenges organizations face today by ensuring secure access to SaaS apps and safeguarding the sensitive data they contain. It then will explore how to address the security requirements of adopting a SaaS solution and preserve industry security standards, including:
Jointly presenting the class will be Ishara Karunarathna, WSO2 associate technical lead, and Farasath Ahamed, WSO2 software engineer, on Tuesday, July 25, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PDT.

In managing customer identities, enterprises need to deliver a superior user experience. In failing to do so, they risk losing these customers to competitors who make it easier to engage with them.
This class will examine the need for IAM implementations to go beyond traditional enterprise solutions to address customer requirements for scalability, performance, usability, and seamless engagement across multiple channels. It also will discuss how to achieve a proper balance between creating an inviting user experience while enforcing robust security. Additionally, the class will cover:
Johann Nallathamby, WSO2 senior technical lead, and Maduranga Siriwaradena, WSO2 senior software engineer, will jointly conduct the class, Tuesday, August 1, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PDT.

Different divisions, business units, and even departments within growing enterprises harbor a range of heterogeneous environments that create several IAM challenges. Among the biggest are inconsistent password policies, excessive identities and directories, diverse and time-consuming auditing processes, and an increasing need to stay on top of compliance regulations. These are compounded by a shift to cloud platforms and the adoption of SaaS and mobile apps that cross typical security domain boundaries.
This class will review common enterprise scenarios and the potential risks of security breaches when employees access external apps, lower productivity levels if users cannot access the apps they need, and increased costs for maintaining legacy systems. It then will examine how organizations need to minimize these risks by adopting an IAM solution that provides seamless user experiences, secures access for employees and partners, easily integrates legacy systems as well as cloud and mobile apps, and manages employee data securely and efficiently. Throughout the discussion, the class will discuss typical IAM use cases along with common solution patterns for IAM.
