Keynote - Microsoft Identity and Access Direction
Speaker: Robert Jones (Microsoft)
This session will provide a broad summary of the Microsoft Identity and Access product team investments for traditional on-premise workloads and Cloud services. You'll hear the approach Microsoft is taking in the market with its solutions and how they benefit customers, increase value and help them make the right investments in their infrastructure to build capabilities that help them with their business needs.
18 Months of FIM and Lessons Learned
Speaker: James Cowling (OCG)
In this session, James Cowling will talk about Oxford Computer Group’s international FIM experience, gathered in many FIM projects. The session will cover both organizational and technical aspects of FIM projects, with the goal of providing those people who are embarking on their own FIM implementation some guidelines and cautionary tales, so that the project can proceed with less risk of delay or other problems, while avoiding design dead-ends and common gotchas. Key areas of discussion are: Key success factors for a project; common risks and how to avoid them; technical design guidelines and gotchas; and examples of all of these from real-world projects.
Introducing FIM 2010, Example Scenarios and Solutions
Speaker: Hugh Simpson-Wells (OCG)
Designed for those new (or nearly new) to FIM 2010, this session will focus on typical business requirements and the user experience, and will cover: identity and access management principles, where FIM 2010 fits into the overall picture, the solution areas that FIM 2010 addresses, and a substantial demonstration of a proof of concept system. This session will include time for questions and feedback.
Journey to the Cloud - "Are we there yet?"
Speaker: Simon Veale (OCG)
We are all on the journey, but how close are we to the destination? Who has already made the journey? What speed-bumps did they hit on the way? Are there people standing at the side of the road with their thumb out, holding a petrol can – or are we all in a comfortable air-conditioned limousine? Seriously: can I be sure that my users can be given access to what they need, when they need it – and only that – whether it is on–premise or in The Cloud? This session looks at how AD, FIM and AD FS are already being used in solutions involving on-premise infrastructure as well as cloud-based services like Office 365. We’ll be sharing some experiences and demonstrating how identity lifecycles can be managed, and appropriate security can be implemented, in hybrid environments.
FIM 2010 in Action - Customer Case Study
Speaker: Paul Lambert (Hampshire County Council)
In this session, Paul Lambert from Hampshire County Council will explain the journey they have been on to provide a private cloud to host services requested by Hampshire schools. He will explain how they have integrated this with Microsoft Office 365 to provide email and calendaring for any staff or student in Hampshire and how FIM 2010 is being used to provision users into the correct Office 365 tenancy based on information held in AD. Providing a scalable, yet flexible solution which was simple for end users was vital to the success of this project and Paul will share insights on how this was achieved.
Implementing FIM 2010 at a Brownfield site
Speaker: James Cowling (OCG)
In this session, James Cowling will draw on his own, and others’, experience in migrating to Forefront Identity Manager from a non-Microsoft Identity Management system. The challenges which are particular to these projects will be laid out, and sample solution approaches will be presented. While the technical implementation is always unique to each customer, there are common issues which arise, such as the fact that in order for such a project to be started, there has to exist a level of dissatisfaction with the Identity Management solution which is being replaced – and this brings rather different challenges from those present in a greenfield implementation.
FIM 2010 R2 Roadmap
Speaker: Robert Jones (Microsoft)
In this session, you’ll learn what features are included for release in FIM 2010 R2 and the future roadmap for Microsoft Identity and Access products.

The Moving Target of Governance
Speaker: Ralph O’Brien (IT Governance)
"The moving target"
Looking at security differences in different organisational types and the challenge of balancing security, risk and costs
“How we used to live” and “how we live now”
A look at the change in landscape of security
"Corporate Information Governance"
Looking at the wider benefits of corporate governance of information in organisations and continual improvement models
"International standards and integrated management system frameworks"
Looking at what management systems standards do, how they work together to immunise supply chains and achieve mutually beneficial supplier relationships
"Information security risk management via ISO 27001"
Looking at the ISO 27001 standard and how its risk based approach gives a clear way forward to justify costs and benefits, and common sense risk vs control measures for organisations to justify security to senior executives and achieve engagement with front line staff-and which areas of the standard touch on identity ad access management.
Reporting with FIM 2010
Speaker: James Cowling (OCG)
There is an increasing number of solutions for reporting with FIM 2010 – and no two solutions are alike. What is available, and what will they do for me? We take a number of solutions that are available (or soon to be available) and compare and contrast them. What do they report, what don’t they report – and how do they do it. Where feasible we demonstrate the solutions we are talking about.
Information Protection On-Premise and Cloud
Speaker: Yuval Eldar
Struggling to keep sensitive information secure in a deperimeterized/Cloud environments, governmental organizations and enterprises have turned to persistent encryption and IRM solutions.
However, serious challenges to enterprise-wide implementation of IRM and persistent encryption solutions remain. There are mission-critical management issues that existing solutions do not yet effectively address.
Learn more about providing powerful classification-based IRM and persistent encryption management, along with simple policy generation, application, and enforcement.
Based on flexibly-defined parameters, classify in real-time sensitive data from any source – users, applications, file repositories or directories.
FIM 2010 as a platform for Effective Governance
This session describes how to layer an effective governance approach on top of your FIM platform. It will define the problem area we are trying to solve, and how the concept of ‘Identity & Access Governance’ can ensure only appropriate users can access protected assets and be able to prove it, to meet regulatory compliance. Positioned at Information Security Professionals this a session CISOs should not miss!!
FIM 2010 for Managing User Entitlements
FIM has established itself as a great solution for managing AD users and groups, tied to a reliable synchronization engine – but it is so much more! Crucially it is a highly extensible environment – and customers are increasingly demanding more: different interfaces, more sophisticated workflows and roles – to mention just a few – all aimed at better managing user entitlements. In this session we showcase some solutions that take FIM from its out-of-the-box state into some sophisticated areas.
Panel Discussion and Q&A
Speaker: All
An opportunity to ask any questions from the sessions in the day and to pick up on any topics of particular importance to you. At this time you will also be asked to complete your evalution form to help us shape next years' Summit.
