David Rowe - New Blog

I've previously mentioned that David Rowe is the visionary behind Policing the Power of Identity. David has introduced a new blog at powerofidentity.wordpress.com where he'll discuss what it means to police the power of identity. He also provides a link to his recent paper on the subject. The paper is not a product pitch and is not written with a customer focus. It describes a vision of how companies can empower employees without fear – and how we as an industry can define standards and leverage open protocols to help our customers achieve that vision.

If finding a balance between freedom and control to empower digital identities within an enterprise environment is a topic of interest to you, please visit David's blog and join the conversation.

NetVision: Policing the Power of Identity

NetVision issued a press release today in conjunction with our appearance at Digital ID World. It's primarily about our very cool new reporting capabilities to be officially released in October. The release also points to a four minute whiteboard session explaining what we mean by Policing the Power of Identity. If you have four minutes, please take a look. Since I created the presentation, I especially hope you enjoy it.

Identity Management Detective

Jackson Shaw asks "is there a role for an identity management detective?" Although I suspect it was mostly a rhetorical question, the answer is absolutely. You may have seen my recent post on Policing the Power of Identity. The challenge that Jackson describes is exactly what we have in mind when we talk about policing identity. Many of NetVision's customers recognize that they can't provide answers to basic questions about what identity controls are in place, what are people doing on the network and what power has been given to users. The combination of controls, behavior and power is what makes up the power of identity. And our customers are definitely finding value in tools that provide policing/detective capabilities around that power.
