Wayfair Webinar | Role Play: How to Create an Enterprise RBAC Program
2023-04-13 13:00 - 14:00 UTC | ON
When a new hire joins, they should get immediate access to the tools needed to perform their job. Similarly, when they change jobs their access should adapt and change.
This is easier said than done.
In this WiCyS strategic partner Wayfair webinar, I will walk you through some typical considerations for planning and implementing enterprise roles, including some tips and tricks that I’ve learned over the course of my long career in IAM.
As a person who is both analytical and creative, I find role engineering to be challenging, interesting, and fun. I create solutions that help ‘the business’ and I get to learn something new every day.
By the end of this webinar, you will have a better understanding of what goes into creating a successful enterprise RBAC initiative, and have a better idea of how to go about creating a role architecture that is flexible, extensible, predictable, and resilient.

Determined to never allow the violent experiences of life to define her. Dr. Suggs not only achieved her Doctorate of Science in Cybersecurity but 20 different certificates and licenses as well as in addition to security clearance for her career in protecting digital systems for both government and civilian organizations.

Central Alabama Affiliate at Southeast Cybersecurity Summit
2023-04-17 - 2023-04-18 | Hyatt Regency Birmingham – The Wynfrey Hote, 1000 Galleria Circle, Birmingham, Alabama, 35244, United States
Tuesday we will host a panel discussion covering the following:
As new and established cybersecurity professionals navigate the job market, one thing has become commonplace: the requirement or strong encouragement of possessing certifications, even with entry-level positions. This can cause frustration to those new to the industry that might not be as familiar with the intricacies of the different certifications and accrediting organizations, as well as when a certification might be prudent versus unnecessary. This panel discussion will begin by featuring a brief presentation highlighting the different certifications and an overview of when those certs would be most beneficial. Panel participants will then share what role certifications have played in their careers as both an employee and those in management responsible for hiring new talent. Panelists hope to provide insight into the value of certifications as well as when earning one is most beneficial.
