I have to make it quick, as the information is coming fast and furious...I have absorbed so much information at this point, it feels like my brain is about to deny me access.
My first sit-down was with Howard Ting from Securent, who immediately broke the news that Securent has been bought by Cisco. Wow, big news, and talking with Howard I could see Cisco knew what they were doing.
The Securent solution is spot on, with all the bells and whistles you would expect from an IAM solution, but it runs in real-time with precision control and is very dynamic. In fact, the information was so good, I sat down and recorded a podcast with Howard, but the MP3 player I used to record the podcast was new to me, and for the life of me I do not know what the player did with the sound file, so either it'll turn up soon or I'll record another podcast with Howard.
I was glad to hear that Cisco is mostly going to leave Securent alone and independent so as not to slow their momentum. And on leaving, I asked Howard exactly what were the main challenges Securent had to overcome in the past year, and he answered, "Educating the market that their is a better way to manage entitlement."
Better way indeed, check out Securent right here.
And more, much more, later.
