In the face of escalating cyber threats, the Zero Trust model offers a robust, proactive approach to security. This presentation defines Zero Trust, traces its evolution, and explores its impact on Identity & Access Management (IAM).
We examine how Zero Trust redefines IAM capabilities, touching upon continuous identity verification and context-based access control. Key capabilities such as 'never trust, always verify' are dissected, illustrated with real-world examples.
We will provide starting points for organizations seeking to adopt Zero Trust principles. This session equips security professionals with the knowledge to rethink their organization's security framework using Zero Trust and advanced IAM strategies.
A proactive cybersecurity strategy involves anticipating potential threats and implementing measures to prevent them before they occur. This approach shifts the focus from reactive responses to active prevention that requires continuous monitoring, risk assessment, threat intelligence, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), and Digital Risk Protection (DRP) capabilities. By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities, organizations can mitigate risks and reduce the likelihood of successful cyberattacks. Implementing Attack Surface Management (ASM) solutions enables organizations to identify potential vulnerabilities, assess the effectiveness of their cybersecurity systems, and strengthen their security posture accordingly. A proactive approach to cybersecurity has become an essential requirement for organizations, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and frequency.
ASM is a cybersecurity practice that enables organizations to continuously identify, monitor, and reduce their attack surface. Given the regular changes, patches, and updates to assets, devices, resources, hardware, and software, as well as the increasingly complex digital supply chains that extend beyond third parties, organizations need a continuous approach to threat intelligence collection and correlation, risk discovery, and proactive monitoring of their IT infrastructure.
As organizations move toward Zero Trust architectures, identity has become both the foundation and the focal point. Achieving continuous verification and risk-based access at scale requires rethinking long-standing authentication practices, starting with the move beyond passwords.
This panel brings together industry experts and solution providers to discuss how modern identity and authentication technologies enable Zero Trust principles in practice. The discussion will explore the evolving role of identity in establishing contextual and adaptive trust across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Key discussion points include:
- Why passwordless authentication is central to Zero Trust strategies, not just a usability improvement
- How risk-based and continuous authentication approaches inform real-time access decisions
- Balancing security, usability, and productivity when reducing reliance on passwords
- How identity can provide consistent trust signals across diverse infrastructures
Featuring perspectives from technology leaders and analysts, this session offers insights into current developments and strategic approaches shaping modern access in a perimeterless world.
