Cloakware Expert Explores the Expanding Role of Identity Management in Fighting CyberCrime.

Cloakware to Speak and Exhibit at Fall Cyber Security Symposium

VIENNA, Va. -- Cloakware Inc., the security solutions provider that makes security inseparable from software, today announced that Robert Grapes, Cloakware enterprise solutions specialist, will present at the Fall Cyber Security Symposium, hosted by the College of Computing and Informatics (CCI) at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) on October 10. Guest speakers from around the country will address the latest issues surrounding cyber crime and what is being done to combat this ever-increasing problem.

Grapes will present "Managing User Identities is Only a Third of the Problem." In this session, he describes the threats facing the elevated privilege accounts used by both administrators and unattended applications, and the various security techniques required to mitigate the risks associated with those threats. While privileged password management sounds like a simple problem to solve, it requires complex security techniques to solve completely.

"Privileged and application-to-application passwords in the data center protect customer data and corporate financials," said Grapes. "Yet only about three percent of companies have implemented any kind of a solution to manage these passwords, even though they represent the keys to the kingdom. This is an essential component of an organization's strategy to reduce insider attacks."

Who: Robert Grapes, Cloakware enterprise solutions specialist

What: "Managing User Identities is Only a Third of the Problem"

When: Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Where: University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC), McKnight Auditorium in the Cone Center
