Internet2 Webinars

Internet2 Webinars are "low-tech" seminars on advanced networking topics that are of particular interest to corporate members.  With just a phone and web browser, corporate members can attend 90-minute interactive presentations by Internet2 university and industry experts on timely and emerging topics such as advanced security, federated administration, and privilege management.  A pilot series of three webinars will be presented in May, June, and October 2004.  Advance registration is required. Space is limited. Additional webinars may be organized based on member evaluation of the pilot seminars.

Schedule

Privilege Management
October 2004
Date and time TBA

As Internet2 member corporations carry out more and more business using advanced networks and applications, they face a difficult challenge: how to provide appropriate and secure access to critical resources for employees, customers, research collaborators, and business partners while keeping everybody else out. How does an enterprise manage access privileges when there are perhaps thousands of users and the resources may be distributed globally over multiple sites and span numerous advanced technologies?  In this webinar, Ken Klingenstein, Internet2 director of middleware and security, will discuss emerging privilege management models and solutions. You will need an Internet Explorer web browser and a telephone to participate in the webinar.
