TM Forum Digital Disruption 2013 to feature
market update on digital identity by Gluu CEO,
Mike Schwartz
  Gluu announces that its CEO and founder Mike
Schwartz will host a market update on digital
identity at TM Forums Digital Disruption 2013 to
help attendees recognize and seize new
opportunities presented by innovations in digital
authentication and authorization.   Trends show
that enterprises of all sizes across the globe
will continue investing in IAM projects in coming
years as older enterprise platforms become
obsolete and traditional cost structures are
replaced by more attractive pricing offers such
as monthly subscription and usage-based pricing.
  A combination of factors make now a pivotal
time in the lifecycle of identity and access
management solutions, said Gluu CEO Mike
Schwartz. After years of work, we are on the
verge of an Internet standard for authentication
that will make it possible for a website (or
mobile application) to authenticate a person from
any domain. It will drive down the cost for
better security, making the Internet a safer
place. All organizations, but especially network
service providers, will be challenged to use this
change for competitive advantage.

  Digital Disruption is one of the only events
that helps service providers and their partners
address vital issues such as reducing cost and
risk associated with complicated IT projects like
identity and access management.   While an
estimated 87 of consumer authentications are
accomplished with an OAuth2 approach, many
service providers and enterprises are using the
older SAML standard for single sign-on with
external websites continued Schwartz. The
industry is undergoing a transition and service
providers need to bridge todays requirements
while also supporting new requirements for mobile
authentication. New requirements for single sign
on authentication between web sites and mobile
devices, and a growing number of two factor
authentication options are also creating
opportunities to deliver more integrated
services.   The market update, titled Who Are
You? Delivering effective identity and security
management for the Digital World, will cover key
requirements for introducing effective identity
management solutions in a digital organization,
such as   What are the drivers, requirements and
size of the market for effective identity
management in a digital world?
