BREAKOUT SESSIONS

In the weeks following, four breakout Webinar sessions will also be offered to help you drill down into specific applications of enterprise security.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

At the Entrust Entelligence Security Provider Overview Webinar on May 8th, you will learn how your organization can:

  • Save costs by security deployment and management while improving IT productivity
    With its tiny footprint and customizable installation, Entrust Entelligence Security Provider enables quick deployment with minimal impact on administrators. It provides security management to a wide range of applications built using the native Microsoft Windows™ security capabilities - no integration is required with the applications. Because Entrust Entelligence Security Provider utilizes the capabilities within Microsoft Windows Installer, administrators can easily deploy in a familiar environment and therefore expedite their deployment.
  • Protect information and automate key maintenance for end-users
    Seamlessly and automatically managing keys on behalf of the user is critical to effective security - from automatic rollovers of the keys in advance of expiry, to transparent updates to the digital identities. Entrust Entelligence Security Provider delivers these capabilities transparently to end-users and is easy for administrators to manage. This capability helps them avoid time consuming and cumbersome manual processes.
  • Improve security policy management and compliance
    Entrust provides strongly enforced and flexible security policies, enabling organizations to meet the requirements set forth in their security policies. These include strongly enforced password policies, key & certificate lifetimes and use of additional key pairs for non-repudiation, thereby enhancing the support for legally binding documents.
  • Drive a lower TCO by leveraging an extensible investment
    Once a user has a digital identity, that same digital identity can be extended to any other enterprise application. It's easy to start by deploying Entrust Entelligence Security Provider for one application (i.e WLAN) and subsequently add other applications without deploying anything else or impacting end users.
