How do you implement effective Identity Governance in an environment that isn't tech-first? In this engaging and non-technical talk, Matthias Wagner shares practical insights from GLS’s IGA journey—highlighting the unique challenges faced by non-IT organizations.
From legacy systems and data quality issues to cultural shifts and the limits of AI, this session explores what truly drives success (or failure) when building modern access governance structures. With real-world examples and lessons learned, Matthias illustrates why strong leadership, simplification, and a willingness to change are critical to making IGA work—especially outside the IT bubble.
Key takeaway:
- Keep it simple—Identity Governance is for all identities, not just IT.
The move to the cloud is well underway, but your most critical systems are the most difficult to change & last to modernise. Upgrades are expensive, replacement is years away - all the while you're living with uncomfortable identity risk.
Find out how to turn your legacy and AD environments into a security advantage with modern identity security - all without upgrades, risky technical changes or difficult conversations with engineers. This session explores how to reduce AD tech debt, uncover and safeguard hidden privileged and service accounts, and enforce MFA on your most critical resources. Learn how to strengthen defences and transform AD into a foundation for resilient identity security.
A panel of enterprise security leaders shares firsthand experiences implementing identity-centric security strategies in the cloud. From modernization journeys to IAM consolidation, panelists will discuss what worked, what didn’t, and what they learned along the way — providing attendees with practical advice to drive secure, scalable cloud adoption.
