Arcot Hosts the Authentication and Compliance Summit at Digital ID World



WHAT This half day summit, which takes place Monday, September 14, 2009 in Las Vegas from 8 am to 12:30 pm includes industry speakers, corporate users, a hands-on lab, and networking time.
   
NEWS This workshop addresses the perennial challenge of identity management -- verifying that a user attempting to log into your corporate system is who he claims to be. Authentication technologies and techniques can be combined in a number of ways to reduce fraud and achieve regulatory compliance as it relates to account access. This workshop summit will also cover the convergence of physical and digital authentication technologies: the use of two-factor authentication, smart cards, biometrics and so on.
