Unbreakable Identity - Building Resilience Against Modern Cyber Threats
10:30—10:50

 

In today's threat landscape, identity systems are prime targets for cyberattacks. A compromised identity infrastructure can lead to widespread disruption, data loss, and significant financial damage.

This session explores the critical concept of identity resilience – the ability to rapidly recover and restore identity services following a cyber event. 


We will dive into the challenges of protecting both on-premises Active Directory and cloud-based Entra ID environments, and discuss strategies for ensuring business continuity. Learn how to implement immutable backups, leverage clean room recovery techniques, and establish unified workflows for streamlined recovery. We will also cover the importance of granular object-level restoration and secure, isolated recovery environments to minimize downtime and mitigate the risk of reinfection. This session will provide actionable insights for building a robust identity resilience strategy, empowering organizations to withstand and recover from even the most sophisticated attacks.

PANEL: Smart IAM at Scale - Designing for Agility Without Regret
10:50—11:10
 

The pressure to modernize IAM fast can lead to architectures that scale…until they don’t. This panel brings together seasoned experts to explore how to build identity systems that are both future-proof and scalable - without falling into the trap of brittle integrations, vendor lock-in, or unmanageable sprawl. Learn how to design IAM that evolves with your organization, not against it.
