Complimentary On Demand Xtalks Webinar Shares Best Practices in Managing the Challenge of Roles-Based Access Governance Reduces Risk in the EU

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) August 2, 2008 -- Xtalks.com announces that Aveksa Founder, Deepak Taneja will deliver his complimentary On Demand webinar "Managing the Challenge of Roles-Based Access Governance" aimed at the European Banking/Finance sector.

Although roles-based access control (RBAC) has been the subject of much interest in the past, experience with it has been mostly disappointing. Dealing with the complexity of managing roles at the infrastructure level (applications, data, files, file shares, host and network level) is daunting to organizations, and an obstacle to deploying effective roles-based governance. Role design is best done from the top down as roles should first and foremost relate to business process. As compliance is written from a business process perspective, this approach will make it easier to achieve compliance with various regulations.

This webcast will discusses how to deploy a continuous roles lifecycle management process and ensure regulatory compliance:

    * The new role design methodology - creating a top down and bottom-up hybrid approach.

    * How to enable collaboration between major stakeholders in creating roles and driving accountability.

    * Why roles require continuous lifecycle management (roles are a process not a project).

* How using a metrics-driven approach for roles maintenance avoids roles proliferation.

    * How roles management enables good security governance and reduces business risk.

    * How role management simplifies compliance and speeds up initial access delivery and change.
