Working Together to Improve Public Safety
"The ability to quickly update and share data is a huge factor in enabling us to do our jobs better. Ultimately, it allows us to more effectively serve and protect the public.”

An old myth accepted as fact: Active Directory is something between a huge burden or a neat toy, but it isn't up to the job for meeting my big directory and identity needs.
It’s hard to count the number of times I've sat in meetings with very smart…
The myth in the studio with us today: Cloud based SaaS apps are going to break all your security and provisioning protections.
Change is the world’s only constant. Just when you have all the IT systems set up just so, along comes this SaaS thing to knock…
As I get engaged in projects to deploy our unstructured data governance solution, the most common push back the technologists get from their internal line of business data owners is, “we don’t want to be the ‘data police’.” That is, the business doesn…

If you’ve been following the IAM blog, you know that we kind of have a thing for Active Directory (AD)…but then who doesn’t? AD is everywhere, everyone has it, it is critical to most organizations’ operations, and messing up when it comes to AD can have…
Ok, let me paint the scene for you: so let’s say you’re one of 2 or 3 folks on a small IT team whose job it is to make sure the entire company is humming along smoothly (I know. I know. Stay with me here…) You think your teammates…
As companies grow by acquisition and expand internationally, one of the natural by-products is a large and complex IT infrastructure.
Such was the case with Telefónica España and its multi-domain use of Active Directory (AD). Telefónica España, one of…
We all get busy around the holidays in both our personal and professional lives.
