Axiad IDS and Customer Team Up as Co-Panelists at Securing Federal Identity 2018 Conference
SANTA CLARA, Calif (PRWEB) June 04, 2018 -- Axiad IDS, a leading provider of authentication and identity and access management solutions for enterprise, healthcare, government and financial organizations, today announced it will be a panelist at Securing Federal Identity 2018 in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, June 5. Bassam Al-Khalidi, co-CEO of Axiad IDS, will team up with Damon Becknel, CISO of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield New Jersey, on the panel entitled “Managing Mobile and Cloud Identity Credentials” at 4:30 p.m., along with representatives from NIST and AAMVA.
The conference is focused on bringing together the most important developments, innovations and experts in federal identity credentialing and access security. Together Al-Khalidi and Becknel will address “Mobile and Cloud Identity Programs - How Trusted Communities May Benefit Citizens.” They will elaborate on how Becknel brought standards and methods originally driven by the government for federal identity – i.e. high identity assurance technologies leveraging PKI – via the Axiad ID Cloud platform to the healthcare industry. The co-panelists will then share a vision for extending the value and benefits of trusted identity beyond internal users to the population-at-large.
Phase 1 of the project covered employees and contractors. Al-Khalidi and Becknel will discuss how easy the platform was to deploy, manage and maintain by its operators and how significantly it improved the user experience. The success of Phase 1 led to a larger vision for Trusted Communities where credentials are no longer just for internal users. Smart cards and mobile phones in a scalable cloud environment can enable data breach protection, portable medical records and secure communications for citizens – even beyond the customers of a particular healthcare organization.
“Building trusted communities will require providing hardened digital identities that scale and easily connect to other organizations while ensuring a low friction experience, ” said Damon Becknel, CISO of HBCBSNJ. “Organizations everywhere have pursued and achieved this goal for internal use cases. We now need to turn our attention to extending this to external use cases.”
“In today’s digital world, trusted Identity requires that all the entities that interact with an organization must be addressed – from employees and contractors to customers, partners and machines,” said Al-Khalidi, co-CEO and Principal Consultant of Axiad IDS. “Mobile and cloud identity solutions can eliminate the need to choose between security, ease-of-use and ease-of-management.”
