Quite a few years ago, augmented reality entered our daily lives imposing digital perspectives on reality without actually ‘touching’ it. Devices like phones, tablets, televisions and cars only enrich information and our experiences for all kinds of reasons. But lately it shows that this was just the beginning of a major transition where those devices are not merely ‘dumb’ things that provide information; they’re able to actually ‘do’ things on their own. Interacting with consumers as well as with each other is making them part of our human reality.
This is a testing invitation to explore together the opportunities and hands-on experience of a test architect role in the world of Identity Access Management (IAM), deployed in a micro services environment.
"It's just a login" - said no tester ever.
We will walk through the testing risk based approaches and challenges of the most important 3 IAM pillars that my current project is offering
Sharing and securing personal identity data -. Organisations in the midst of digital transformation need this information in a multitude of IT systems. Sharing and securing this data is a core functionality of IAM.
Access and Authorisation - Making sure only data is shared which is needed, but also making sure the right access is granted to the right people is key to IAM.
Provide people with the right tools to protect their privacy - As incorporated in the EU’s GDPR legislation, organisations should expose the data they have on individuals and ask for consent when necessary.
Join the session to tackle, one by one, the ‘simple’ notions of login, information transparency, registration, authentication and authorisation.
