SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At next month’s Cloud Identity Summit 2013, Principal Analyst and CEO of Constellation Research R “Ray” Wang will discuss how evolving technologies and tools have created a challenging environment where personal and professional identities are sometimes traded for business efficiency or consumer convenience.
Wang will discuss how digital footprints and digital exhaust from e-commerce, personalization and online and mobile business tools challenge users to hand over either personal or professional identities in return for efficiency and convenience. “In the long run that decision could cost much more than we realize,” says Wang. “As we move to an age of people to people networks, the business implications of not understanding the role of identity could significantly impact business models.” In his keynote, Wang will explore how to find the right balance between user convenience and business security as the market continues to come up with more sophisticated and personalized identity-driven engagement tactics.
“The connected world we now live in presents a real dilemma for people having to choose between convenience and security, with identity at the intersection. I’m excited to share my thoughts on the future of the industry at Cloud Identity Summit 2013, and spend time with other influential leaders at the forefront of identity,” said Wang. “This conference brings together the key minds behind identity innovation, trends and best practices, and I’m honored to be a part of CIS 2013 this year.”
Wang will present his keynote on Thursday morning, July 25 at the Cloud Identity Summit 2013 hosted by Ping Identity®, taking place at the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa, California, where he will answer questions and provide insight into the trade-off that people now face in choosing identity versus convenience.
