Oklahoma City implemented two-factor authentication using Quest Defender to improve security of its networks and systems. It evaluated several solutions and chose Defender as it integrated seamlessly with its existing Active Directory without requiring additional infrastructure. Defender provided a cost-effective solution for two-factor authentication across the city's 5,000 users and improved productivity by eliminating the need for complex passwords. The city saw a smooth rollout of Defender and high user adoption due to features like self-registration and temporary tokens.

Avoiding the Hidden Costs of Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)Okta-Inc
Since its introduction with Windows Server 2008, AD FS 2.0 has been Microsoft’s answer to extending enterprise identity beyond the firewall. However, building an identity management solution with the AD FS toolkit has many hidden costs. While AD FS solves some identity challenges for Microsoft’s product family, as is typical from Microsoft, many more gaps exist when attempting to integrate with cloud or mobile applications from other vendors.
Built as a single sign-on toolkit, AD FS requires a significant investment to deploy into production and still doesn’t deliver a full identity management solution. This webinar will discuss the following AD FS hidden costs as well as free alternatives that help avoid them:
-Building-out missing features
-Setup & configuration
-Hardware & software
-Availability & reliability
-On-going maintenance
Our webinar presents a critical analysis of serverless technology and our thoughts about its future. We use Emerging Technology Analysis Canvas (ETAC), a framework built to analyze emerging technologies, as the methodology of our study. Based on our analysis, we believe that serverless can significantly impact applications and software development workflows.
We’ve also made two further observations:
Limitations, such as tail latencies and cold starts, are not deal breakers for adoption. There are significant use cases that can work with existing serverless technologies despite these limitations.
We see a significant gap in required tooling and IDE support, best practices, and architecture blueprints. With proper tooling, it is possible to train existing enterprise developers to program with serverless. If proper tools are forthcoming, we believe serverless can cross the chasm in 3-5 years.

Extending Active Directory to Box for Seamless IT ManagementOkta-Inc
As organizations move mission critical files and data into Box, security and productivity become increasingly important. How can IT enable users to seamlessly access Box with their existing network credentials or ensure that user accounts are automatically provisioned and deprovisioned as employee roles change?
Historically, Active Directory has been core to application security and productivity. However, Active Directory was built for on-premise networks and does not easily integrate with cloud applications like Box. Okta’s Active Directory integration service bridges this gap, takes only moments to set up, and best of all… is FREE!
This webinar will discuss Okta’s free Directory Integration Edition for Box, and how it can deliver the following benefits:
-Single sign-on with federation or delegated authentication
-Automated provisioning & de-provisioning via Security Groups
-True end-to-end provisioning from HRIS systems like Workday
-Password synchronization
-Multifactor authentication
Passwords and Fingerprints and Faces—Oh My! Comparing Old and New AuthenticationPriyanka Aash
People use more passwords today than ever before. But with the advent of Apple’s latest iPhone releases and its TouchID and FaceID technologies, we’ll begin to see a wider acceptance of some biometrics methods like fingerprint and facial scanning. This session will assess the security of these methods compared to the tried and true password.
Learning Objectives:
1: Understand the password’s history and an overview of biometrics.
2: Understand the security pros and cons of passwords versus biometrics.
3: Obtain tips for creating a password/biometrics authentication stack.

Trusting External Identity Providers for Global Research Collaborationsjbasney
Presented at:
https://www.eugridpma.org/meetings/2016-09/
Abstract:
Who do we trust to provide identity and access management services for our research collaborations? When do we decide to implement it ourselves versus relying on others? How do we create incentives for establishing trust? How do we bridge the gaps in trust, functionality, and reliability? In this presentation, Jim will review lessons learned from his experiences working with IGTF certificates, eduGAIN SAML assertions, and OpenID Connect claims for access to scientific research applications. What new challenges appear when moving from 1 to 10 to 100 to 1000 identity providers? Why does identity information flow more easily in some federations and not others? How do we determine what levels of assurance we need and find providers who can meet those needs? How do we mitigate the risks? How do we effectively federate services operated by the research community, higher education institutions, NRENs, and commercial providers?

1. Quest® Defender Provides Secure, Affordable
Two-Factor Authentication for Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City, Okla., boasts a population of 558,000 residents and owns one of the largest city owned
and operated municipal Wi-Fi mesh network in the world. This network encompasses over 620 square
miles to date and provides access to over 150 different applications that are vital to public safety and
city operations. The city’s information technology department provides support for technology-based
communication and information systems, enabling the delivery of efficient and effective services to city
employees.
To improve the security of its networks and systems, Oklahoma City turned to Quest for a feature-rich,
two-factor authentication solution.
The Challenge
Oklahoma City’s IT department is responsible for protecting all of the city’s data. Most users, however,
used to authenticate to the system using a simple username and password, which created a serious
security risk.
“Passwords are a security issue because users don’t like to change them regularly,” said Steven Eaton,
information security manager for Oklahoma City. “In addition, if longer more complex passwords are
required, users start writing them down because they can’t remember them, defeating their purpose of
enhancing security.”
As a proactive and forward-thinking organization, the city’s IT group decided to implement security
recommendations for user access based on best practices. “We realized we needed to step up to two-
factor authentication to ensure the security of our network,” stated Eaton.
Two-factor authentication typically combines “something you know” (such as a username and password
or pin) with “something you have” (such as a smart card or hardware token) to verify that users logging in
are who they say they are.
The city already had a two-factor authentication solution in place for remote access, but it was expensive.
Moreover, it needed a solution that would integrate with Active Directory (AD), and deployed easily across
the enterprise to more than 5,000 users.
The Quest Solution
The city’s IT group carefully evaluated solutions from five major vendors. Following extensive evaluation
and testing of the technologies available, Quest Defender emerged as the clear winner. Defender
bases all administration and identity management on Active Directory, thus it could use the city’s
existing investment in AD and eliminate the costs involved in setting up and maintaining the additional
infrastructure needed for other two-factor solutions. “We try to leverage existing investments whenever
possible,” stated Eaton. “Since Defender integrates so seamlessly with Active Directory we were able to
accomplish that in addition to being able to use Active Directory as the single source for authentication
credentials and management.” Moreover, Defender works with any OATH-compliant hardware token, and
is easy to roll out.
In addition, the IT group was pleased to find that Defender was compatible with encryption software it
also planned to deploy. “We were able to get all of it to work together seamlessly, which was a big plus for
us,” reported Eaton.
“Our users like Defender better than
passwords. They recognize that it actually
saves them time since they no longer
have to remember longer more complex
passwords or call the help desk for
password resets.”
