Hitachi Guides Users to Deploy IAMaaS

Idan Shoham, Hitachi (News - Alert) ID Systems' CTO, will discuss challenges and strategies related to deployment of an identity management system through a software-as-a-service (SaaS (News - Alert)) provider.

Shoham will host a webinar on deploying identity management as a service (IAMaaS) to this end.

The presentation is scheduled for Wednesday, August 24 at 10:00AM PT/1:00PM ET.

Hitachi’s webinar will cover business considerations such as risk management and technical issues, such as managing systems behind a firewalled perimeter.

Hitachi ID Systems (News - Alert) provides identity and access management solutions that help more than 12 million combined users meet security, internal control, regulatory compliance, IT cost reduction and user service objectives.

The company notes growing interest in both cloud computing and identity management and emphasizes that the intersection of these two trends is going to happen sooner or later.

A large number of medium sized organizations are searching ways to move traditional software systems including IAM infrastructure out of their data center to a hosted model.

Hitachi ID Systems boasts several years of experience in delivering IAM systems that support multi-tenant, hosted operation and intends to share its expertise in the upcoming webinar.

“Hitachi ID solutions have long supported multi-tenancy, proxied connections to integrated systems, replication, load balancing, themed user interfaces, localization and more. These technical capabilities fit nicely into the accelerating trend of moving applications, including IAM systems, to the cloud,” said Shoham. “In the webinar, we'll discuss just what it takes to move a heavily-integrated and mission-critical system such as IAM out of the corporate perimeter.”
