Strengthen IT Security and Enhance Compliance by Leveraging Microsoft Active Directory for Cross-Platform Identity and Access Management

Accountability is the cornerstone of secure and compliant IT environments. Organizations that cannot definitively link individual users' access to and activity on key systems risk security breaches or audit failures. Cross-platform environments are especially vulnerable because identities are managed locally, or with multiple directories. The continuing spread of Linux, UNIX and Mac systems across the enterprise has increased this complexity, compelling many organizations to re-evaluate their identity and access management approaches.

This webinar series features Gartner Analyst Perry Carpenter, who outlines best practices in identity and access management, and discusses the role Active Directory can play in centrally managing non-Windows systems and streamlining IT operations. The series also features Centrify solution experts who discuss and demonstrate how Centrify’s solutions are used to integrate heterogeneous systems with Active Directory to achieve significant security and compliance benefits.
