Discussion: Many security experts believe that employee username and passwords are passé and on the way out. Is that true? If so, what is the alternative? This session discusses the different aspects of using strong authentication for internal users to systems and applications. It examines the technologies available, the benefits/challenges of deploying these technologies, where it's been successful, where it hasn't, the barriers of deployment, and what we can do about it. The following topics will be covered:

- The options for strong authentication technologies for the enterprise
- Pros/cons of the technologies and why
- Challenges to deployment
- Practical examples of deployment
- Determine tactics and discussion points with the vendors, and
- Present a framework for managing strong authentication for internal users over the entire enterprise
