Offering services, conducting transactions and moving data on the Web opens new opportunities, but many CTOs and CIOs are more concerned with the risks. Like the rulers of medieval cities, they've adopted a siege mentality, building walls to keep the bad guys out. It makes for a secure perimeter, but hampers the flow of commerce. Fortunately, some corporations are beginning to rethink how they provide security, so that interactions with customers, employees, partners, and suppliers will be richer and more flexible. Digital Identity explains how to go about it. This book details an important concept known as \"identity management architecture\" (IMA): a method to provide ample protection while giving good guys access to vital information and systems. In today's service-oriented economy, digital identity is everything. IMA is a coherent, enterprise-wide set of standards, policies, certifications and management activities that enable companies like yours to manage digital identity effectively--not just as a security check, but as a way to extend services and pinpoint the needs of customers. Author Phil Windley likens IMA to good city planning. Cities define uses and design standards to ensure that buildings and city services are consistent and workable. Within that context, individual buildings--or system architectures--function as part of the overall plan. With Windley's experience as VP of product development for Excite@Home.com and CIO of Governor Michael Leavitt's administration in Utah, he provides a rich, real-world view of the concepts, issues, and technologies behind identity management architecture. How does digital identity increase business opportunity? Windley's favorite example is the ATM machine. With ATMs, banks can now offer around-the-clock service, serve more customers simultaneously, and do it in a variety of new locations. This fascinating book shows CIOs, other IT professionals, product managers, and programmers how security planning can support business goals and opportunities, rather than holding them at bay.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599721505041,"sku":"GOR004053787","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50011370291473,"sku":"CIN0596008783G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52693244281105,"sku":"GOR008358492","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52817312907537,"sku":"CIN0596008783VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52976862658833,"sku":"NIN9780596008789","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53383640514833,"sku":"CIN0596008783A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0596008783.jpg?v=1751445144"},{"product_id":"authorization-in-action-book-phil-windley-9781633435179","title":"Authorization in Action","description":"\u003cb\u003eGet the eBook free when you register your print book at Manning.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Stale permissions and manual access policy enforcement are a constant security risk. Dynamic authorization--automatic systems that eliminate permanent access grants and manual review-and-revise processes--can radically improve access control. This practical, focused book shows you how to switch from crude yes\/no permissions to flexible, policy-driven rules that adapt instantly.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Access control needs evolve as users require short-term data access, location-based services, temporary work assignments, or changing employment status. Dynamic authorization systems adapt access in real time. This book presents a view of dynamic authorization that merges role-based, attribute-based, and relationship-based models into a single framework. You'll learn exactly how dynamic authorization works, as well as the governance, architecture, and team structures necessary to sustain the approach in the enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAuthorization in Action\u003c\/i\u003e shows you how to:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Establish RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC for dynamic authorization\u003cbr\u003e * Design adaptive access control policies\u003cbr\u003e * Implement policy-based access control (PBAC)\u003cbr\u003e * Integrate decision logic with organizational data\u003cbr\u003e * Establish clear authorization governance structures\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAuthorization in Action\u003c\/i\u003e comes to life through the all-too-real access control struggles facing the fictional ACME Corp's customer, HR, and engineering systems. Step-by-step walkthroughs make these examples concrete, while real-world incidents--like the Target data breach--show what's at stake when authorization goes wrong. You'll implement a dynamic authorization framework integrating the Cedar authorization policy language and the RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC models, and you'll design adaptive policies that reflect real business rules. Plus, you'll build governance structures with clear ownership, aligned teams, and processes to review, audit, and evolve at scale.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For IT workers, executives, directors, and product managers who know the basics of systems architecture.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePhil Windley\u003c\/b\u003e is co-founder and organizer of the Internet Identity Workshop and Executive Director of the IIW Foundation, advancing human-centered digital identity.
