Colin Kincaid, Vice President, Cisco From the moment you connect, your devices, services and network can interact to sense who you are, where you are and what you are doing—seamlessly integrated for the best possible experience with intrinsic security. As enterprise identity paradigms change, there are real architectural opportunities in the opening of the network environment, making it fully transparent, with APIs that span the services stack. Hear about a first step that has been taken by creating a “zero sign-on” experience for cloud services, leveraging network intelligence for optimal business agility.
