Unmasking Identity and Access Management (IAM) in a Spooky Distributed Environment DESCRIPTION:Who Goes There? Unmasking Identity and Access Management (IAM) in a Spooky Distributed Environment \n \n \n Thursday\, October 29\, 2026 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET \n \n \n \n \n \n Register Today! \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSecure identity and access management (IAM) is critical to protect systems and sensitive information by ensuring that only authorized individuals receive the appropriate level of system access. But do you really know who is lurking in your systems? In a distributed environment\, complex role structures and distributed ownership of access controls can make it difficult for IAM audits to identify access risks and evaluate whether access is appropriately governed. Whether you are an experienced IT auditor or dress up like one\, this session will equip you with the knowledge to conduct effective IAM audits within distributed environments. We will provide insights into the key components for conducting IAM audits in distributed environments\, leading practices and strategies to consider\, common challenges to avoid\, and a real-world example of an IAM audit conducted within a distributed environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter attending this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n\n\n\n\nIdentify the critical elements of an effective IAM audit within a distributed environment\n\n\n\nRecognize common challenges and pitfalls in IAM audits within distributed environments\n\n\n\nExplore a practical IAM audit example\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group InternetField of Study: AuditingAdvance Preparation: NonePrerequisites are required: NoCost: $25 for non-membersRecommended CPEs: 1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAshley Romero\, CISA\n\n\n\nCyber Risk Services Senior Consultant \n\n\n\nBaker Tilly \n\n\n\n\n\nAshley is a Senior Consultant with Baker Tilly\, a national accounting and advisory firm.
