Identity is the New Perimeter

For decades, identity management has played a major role in enterprise security. But as cloud computing, mobile device access and social networking redefine the network boundary, identity is taking center stage.

The walled fortress is done

The perimeter is no longer defined by your network and your definition of secure, non-secure, internal or external is irrelevant. With a fluid enterprise, users and the devices used to access your critical data are multiplying. Add virtualization, public, private and hybrid cloud environments to the mix, and you get a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) network. With less physical control, it's not about securing what's behind your firewall, but securing what's beyond.

Status quo not an option

Get identity right and you'll harness the power of these disruptive mega-trends for competitive advantage. Get it wrong and entering this new world order will be painful, costly and potentially impossible.

Taming the new identity frontier

Tame this new frontier and get the hands-on knowledge you need to navigate this emerging landscape. Join us, your peers, the visionaries, pundits and vendors at the 3rd Annual Cloud Identity Summit, July 16-20 in beautiful Vail, Colorado.

Past Attendee Reviews

"Through my professional career, I have attended many conferences. However this was the first time I witnessed all of the core values embodied under one roof that I believe are integral to any realm in life, be it professional or personal — work, play, transparency, integrity, discipline, motivation and drive."

"I've waited nearly 5 months to send you this message. I attended the Identity Summit this summer and was profoundly impacted as a security professional. There are times in life when we are momentarily inspired, experience euphoria, then that feeling wears away and the inevitable return to normalcy occurs. I wanted to be certain this was not the case."

"I was overwhelmed with the opportunities I saw to step up and be a part of it all and hardly knew where to focus. The impact of the decisions that this particular community makes and the influence that they have is so far-reaching it is mind-boggling."

"The Cloud Identity Summit was excellent. I'm going to recommend to our events people that we help sponsor and be as involved as possible next year."

"I wanted to let you know that CIS2011 was a fantastic conference. It was educational and fun, a great break from the hectic life here in the DC Metro area! Thanks for all the work you did on it."

"I have been to many events/conferences/summits. This one was very special."

"The structure of the conference was innovative, with the first two days focused on workshops. It was extremely helpful to meet the leaders of the standards organizations, and to come up to speed on who is working on what, and the current status. For those of us who have been out of the loop on a day-to-day basis, you offered an efficient and effective way to learn."
