Identity has become a critical control point for cybersecurity. Attackers use valid accounts, stolen credentials, and legitimate access paths, making malicious activity hard to distinguish from normal behavior. Security teams therefore need more than activity signals; they need identity context.
This session explains how IAM and Cybersecurity can work together to build an identity-centric security model. IAM provides the foundation: identity data, lifecycle processes, access governance, and context. Security turns that context into action through monitoring, detection, response, and risk-based decisions.
This session will explore why IAM and Security often evolved separately, where gaps emerge when identity and security data remain disconnected, and how organizations can move toward a shared identity operating model. The session closes with practical steps around ownership, data quality, ITDR integration, and business value creation.
