Trusted Identities in Today's Connected Enterprise

Identity underpins our personal life, our work life, and is a core part of how
we interact with society. We have no shortage of identity markers, whether it's
a government issued ID, website log-in, or access key card. But are we reaching
a point of identity overload?

Ashley Madison hack -- STOP! Don't believe all that you read

Ashley Madison hackers released the site's user data, as threatened. Or, at
least, that's what they say they've done. But it's likely that much of the data
is forged or bogus in some way...
