Recently, we packed our bags and traveled to the scenic village of Lake Placid, New York for the 2019 State University of New York (SUNY) Technology Conference.

I’m honored to share our latest press release announcing Identity Automation has been named winner of a Bronze Stevie Award in the 16th Annual International Business Awards, receiving recognition in the medium-size company category for Computer Software Company of the Year.

One of the most powerful features of any modern identity and access management (IAM) solution is delegated administration. This core feature gives business users of an organization the ability to perform basic IT functions, such as new account creation, role and group assignment, and access requests, all without the capabilities and permissions typically tied to a privileged IT role.

Recently, we headed to the quaint town of Georgetown, Texas for the annual TX CTO Summer Clinic 2019, a two-day conference hosted by the Texas K12 CTO Council chapter. Created in 2003 by Texas school district Chief Technology Officers (CTOs), the Texas K12 CTO Council was the first chapter of the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN), a leading professional association for technology leaders in school districts. 

I’m excited to share our latest press release announcing James’ acceptance into Forbes Technology Council, an invitation-only community for world-class CIOs, CTOs, and technology executives. Forbes Councils are a collective of communities with nine industry-specific councils, including the Forbes Technology Council, where exceptional business owners and leaders come together with the people and resources that can help them thrive. 

Over the past 10 years, the healthcare industry has experienced a drastic rise in cyberattacks and data breaches. The number of reported healthcare-related data breaches has consistently grown every year since the Department of Health and Human Services began tracking breaches in 2009—and 2018 was no different.

In early May, the city of Baltimore was hit by a massive ransomware attack which crippled city employees and residents from their day-to-day tasks for weeks, ultimately costing millions in taxpayer dollars. Ransomware, a type of malware or malicious software that weaponizes encryption, is used by hackers to first encrypt data on a victim’s machine, blocking access to a computer system or service.

With constantly evolving security and compliance regulations, it may seem impossible for healthcare organizations to sustain a high level of security, while also ensuring quick, efficient access to systems and data.

Single sign-on, also known as SSO, is a widely popular component of identity and access management (IAM) that not only helps organizations address important access challenges, it also offers clear productivity and user experience benefits.

Last month, our top Identity and Access Management (IAM) experts escaped the Texas heat and traveled to Albany, New York for the 22nd Annual New York State (NYS) Cyber Security Conference.
