MidPoint is an identity governance and administration platform. While identity administration is the foundation of the identity industry, it is the governance part which brings business value. Policies and rules are the lifeblood of identity governance. Therefore, our first autumn webinar focuses on them.
Identity governance is all about bridging two worlds that are notoriously difficult to align: business and IT/cybersecurity. As policies are the basic building block of governance (and cybersecurity), midPoint policies need to have two faces. On the outside, the policies speak business language. On the inside, they contain specific implementation provided by policy rules.
The webinar provided a demonstration of this concept by using policies pre-configured in the upcoming midPoint 4.10. The demo showed the business side of the policies, while the rest of the webinar explained the inner implementation.

Policies and policy rules can be used to support regulatory compliance automation and continuous auditing. The configuration provided in midPoint 4.10 is mostly just a start. There is a lot of potential that can be addressed by custom configuration and development in future midPoint releases.
