Invitation Microsoft Belux Architect Forum on Security & Identity
Feed-back last Architect Forum
First some feed-back about the last Architect Forum about S+S which was organized as a pre-conference at TechDays 2009. Exactly 210 architects (an absolute record so far!) have attended this day full of architect content and networking opportunities. I am very happy that the results of the evaluations were absolutely positive with stellar results for the speakers (all of them renowned international speakers) and their content with an average above 4 on a scale of 5. Given these fantastic results, we will of course re-iterate this at the next TechDays and I sure hope to see all of you then!
Next Architect Forum, May 6
The next Architect Forum for solution architects and infrastructure architects is coming your way on May 6! The theme is “The Microsoft Security and Identity Lifecycle Platform”. Register here!
Agenda
In the morning you will learn what you absolutely need to know as solution architects and infrastructure architects about the current and upcoming Microsoft Security and Identity Lifecycle Platform and more in particular the 3 pillars that support secure solutions:
- Infrastructure Security
- Application Security i.e. Identity and Access, SSO
- System Management related to security
During the sessions, we will work on a security related architectural blueprint that integrates those 3 pillars while interoperating with typical existing enterprise security infrastructure.
After lunch we will have more specialized break-outs where you will be able to zoom into some key-themes in a more interactive setting with those speakers. Those themes include
- application related topics like Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) and threat modeling
- infrastructure related matters like the industry standard Service Modeling Language (SML) and the link towards the Microsoft OSLO modeling platform
- topics at the overlap of application and infrastructure architecture like Enterprise SSO
