UltraLevel Announces Identity & Access Management Event for IT Executives

May 8th, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ULTRALEVEL ANNOUNCES IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT (IAM) EVENT FOR IT EXECUTIVES
Where Increased Security and User Efficiency are “BOURNE”

Detroit, MI – UltraLevel, Michigan’s leading IT virtualization solution provider, announced the “Identity and Access Management” event to be held Tuesday, June 10th from 8:30am to 12:30pm at the Microsoft Heartland District Offices in Southfield, Michigan.

Identity and access management has become more complex as digital identities take on an increasingly important role in specifying how users interact with computer networks. The need for security and risk management is ever present, and in turn often results in companies compromising efficiency and accessibility of IT resources to ensure secure access to business-critical data.

Together with leading IAM technology from Courion and Citrix, UltraLevel will address key topics on single sign on, self- service password management and compliance benefits of user provisioning. It all comes down to enabling productivity for employees and achieving across the board operational efficiencies.

“Improving access to network resources and managing the identity life-cycle can provide significant dividends for our customers”, explains Michael L. Butz Sr., President of UltraLevel. “Historically organizations have sacrificed security for efficiency and agility. However with the advent of strong access regulations and increasing customer demand for strong privacy, organizations can no longer sacrifice one capability for the other. They need to be able to move off this curve, change the relationship between security, cost and agility to enable more secure operations at a lower cost and with a superior service quality.”

Attendees will be entered for a chance to win the following “Bourne” Identity & Access Management Event giveaway:

  • Blu-Ray HD DVD Player ($1,050 value) & DVD trilogy pack of the Bourne Files, starring Matt Damon
