B2B Onboarding and B2B Identity Management

As digital ecosystems become more interconnected, organizations increasingly rely on federated identity and access models to collaborate across business boundaries. Yet this reliance raises a crucial question: How much control should be retained internally, and how much can be safely delegated to partners?

This panel will explore the complex balance between trust and control in B2B federations, particularly in identity management. Experts will examine real-world scenarios where delegation of authority—whether for authentication, authorization, or policy enforcement—introduces both efficiency and risk. What does it mean to delegate with accountability? How do organizations establish clear ownership while maintaining agility across federated systems? And where must lines be drawn to preserve security, compliance, and operational control?

Panelists will offer valuable guidance for organizations navigating the challenges of digital collaboration. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to design federation models that balance trust with verifiability, and flexibility with governance—enabling secure, scalable cooperation across complex partner networks.
