Connecting Access Governance and Privileged Access ManagementEMC
1) Identity and access governance should include both regular and privileged users to avoid risks and security gaps. Privileged access management (PAM) solutions are increasingly important for regulatory compliance and due to data breaches involving misused privileged access.
2) Connecting a PAM solution to an access governance solution provides a holistic view of identity context for access decisions and auditing. This allows control and auditing of access to intellectual property, regulated information, and infrastructure systems.
3) Integrating PAM and governance provides benefits like a single control point for all identity access, limiting privileged access visibility, streamlining user onboarding/offboarding, reducing insider threats, and integrating request/approval processes.

This document summarizes key points from the first chapter of a book on service-oriented architecture (SOA). It discusses how SOA is needed to address issues with scalability and flexibility in increasingly complex distributed systems. SOA provides reusable services, an enterprise service bus for interoperability, and loose coupling between services. However, implementing SOA also requires defining policies, processes, and governance to manage the distributed architecture. Web services are one technical approach but are not sufficient on their own. In practice, a successful SOA must be tailored to an organization's specific needs and supported long-term.

Business-Driven Identity and Access Governance: Why This New Approach MattersEMC
This white paper explains why taking a business-driven approach to identity and access governance (IAG) can enable organizations to easily prove compliance, minimize risk, and enable the business to be productive.
- Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) has emerged as a leading paradigm for application development as it enables composite applications that can handle change in heterogeneous environments.
- Processes are the central component of SOA-based composite applications as they orchestrate services in ways that are unique to each organization. Business process management (BPM) is the central nervous system that manages these processes.
- The Ultimus BPM Suite provides full support for SOA out-of-the-box, including the ability to expose processes and invoke web services. Ultimus Adaptive Discovery further enables adaptive SOA by allowing processes to handle exceptions and changes in real-time through business rules.
This document provides an overview of SOC1, SOC2, and SOC3 reports and guidance on their application. It discusses the different types of SOC reports and what they cover, such as internal controls over financial reporting (SOC1), security, availability, and confidentiality (SOC2), and shorter reports for general distribution (SOC3). The document also contrasts the scope and level of detail provided by SOC1, SOC2, and SOC3 reports and considers their applicability to different types of outsourced services. It provides leading practices for both users and service providers in adopting SOC reports.
SOA is an architectural paradigm for building distributed systems from loosely coupled services. It allows different systems with different owners to interoperate. Key concepts of SOA include services, interoperability, and loose coupling. Realizing SOA requires the right infrastructure, architecture, processes and governance to handle heterogeneity and flexibility across systems. SOA is not a specific technology, but rather a style of building applications.

Revisiting Geddes' Outlook Tower - Mike Amundsen, Director of API Architectur...CA API Management
The Information Age, 100 years on
The rise of the computer and the digital revolution is responsible for an explosion of devices, data, and connectedness. These are all enabling what is called the dawning of the Information Age. And software designers, developers, and architects all share an important responsibility for shaping and guiding the world’s progress through this axial age into the future.
However, more than 100 years ago, the work of organizing the world’s information into a single all-encompassing taxonomy had already begun. Partially influenced by the positivist doctrine of Auguste Comte, leading thinkers of the early 20th century such as the librarian Paul Otlet in Belgium, museum curator Patrick Geddes in Scotland, and educator Melvil Dewey in the US were each working to design universal classification systems that would encompass and coordinate the explosion of information appearing in libraries, museums, newspapers, magazines, and eventually even radio, movies, and television.
What did we learn in the last century? What have we forgotten? How does their work affect our current trajectory in transforming the work of software and systems design and development? What can we take from Dewey, Otlet, and Geddes with us in to the next 100 years of the Information Age.
Managing Identity by Giving Up Control - Scott Morrison, SVP & Distinguished ...CA API Management
Identity on the Internet is changing. Social networking has kicked off a massive change in how we integrate identity across applications. This is much more than a simple redesign of security tokens and protocols; instead it is a radical redistribution of power and control over entitlements, shifting it away from the centralized control of a cabal of directory engineers and out to the users themselves.
There are compelling reasons for this shift: it enables scaling of identity administration, and it promotes rapid and agile integration of applications. These are goals shared by the enterprise, but this change has significant implications on infrastructure, people and process. Join us to learn how you can bring modern identity management into the enterprise.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
