Bringing Order and Process to Data and Access Chaos with Identity Governance

35 minutes

Identity Governance (IGA) is the process that remedies what all organizations suffer from: a proliferation of data and systems, and their overwhelming access management needs. Join this session to learn how OpenText Cybersecurity and the NetIQ IGA solution can help your organization pass audits, secure data, and reduce operating risk. We'll highlight a specific successful implementation journey and show how you can leverage a lean integration team to achieve powerful results. IGA is a fundamental building block of Zero Trust Architecture and you'll see how it helps to efficiently (and automatically!) review and prevent unauthorized access.

Records Management for Decision Advantage

In this session, we explore the hurdles facing leaders ahead of June 30, the tools and resources available to optimize electronic records, and the role industry partners can play in achieving success.

Information Sharing and EO 14028

35 minutes

Even with the right tools and checkpoints in place to ensure a strong cybersecurity posture, increasingly sophisticated bad actors still pose a threat. Information sharing is critical to ensuring that threats are effectively detected, prevented and, if a breach occurs, meaningfully addressed. Executive Order 14028 underscores that sharing of information is necessary to enable more effective defense of agencies’ systems across the federal government. In this session, we discuss the pain points of information sharing within an agency and across the federal government — and what can be done to break down those barriers.
