XACML 3.0: Managing Access Control in the Cloud and Beyond

The challenges have become greater than ever to securely manage who has access to what, what can be done with that access, and under what circumstances. The OASIS consortium presents a webinar that takes you beyond product hype to the root of the solution. The OASIS Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) is an open standard widely adopted by vendors, demanded by customers, and “deemed essential” by analysts. Defining a core XML schema for representing authorization and entitlement policies, XACML goes beyond simply denying or granting information access. XACML defines the mechanism for creating the rules and policy sets that enable meaningful authorization decisions.

This webinar will be of interest to security managers and application developers, enterprise architects, audit and compliance managers, end-users and procurement officers, anyone involved in evaluating access-control products.

During the webinar, you will learn: How XACML-based systems can reduce application development costs; ways to future-proof the security of applications using Access Control; how applications can become interoperable with external authorization sources; and how XACML-based products can streamline security administration and make audit and compliance possible.
