Speeding Up Zero Trust Delivery Using Managed Services
May 24, 2023
The attack surface of business IT is expanding rapidly, demanding a modern approach to cybersecurity. Many organizations seek to achieve this by adopting a Zero Trust security model or signing up to managed services for Identity & Access Management (IAM). While both these approaches are effective, they are also extremely complementary, but tackling both at the same time can be as challenging as it is rewarding.

Touchstones Along My Identity Journey
May 11, 2023

In 2005, Kim Cameron excitedly told me about digital identity and set my life on a course to “Build the Internet’s missing identity layer”.  In this talk I’ll tell key stories from my identity journey – stories of the people, ideas, and lessons learned along the way.  I’ll speak of technology and collaboration, usability and business models, solving problems people actually have, and building new ecosystems.  Come with me on this journey of exploration, trials, triumphs, and humor as I recount touchstones of the human endeavor that is digital identity.

Decentralized Identity - Why is it all the Rage?
May 11, 2023

From digital identity to full scale digital trust, this session is perfect for anyone new to identity, as well as identity professionals who are trying to get a handle on what decentralization is all about and why it is so important for Internet-scale digital trust.

In this session, we will cover a brief history of how the identity landscape has gone through an evolution from the dreaded username and password, through centralized, federated and social logins, to now the need for decentralized solutions that support digital trust for both human and objects.

We will explain the various actors involved in a decentralized identity trust triangle, what role technology plays (e.g., digital wallets and digital credentials), and how governance of an ecosystem fits in to create the trust diamond. We will discuss various technical components that may be employed and what is required — and more importantly what is not? We will also present how decentralized trust solutions can support the trust of objects that have nothing to do with human identity, but are necessary to create a digital trust landscape that enables digital transactions to happen seamlessly, efficiently, and automatically.

We’ll also touch on how the traditional identity solutions and emerging decentralization can co-exist in context appropriate settings.

Ahead of the Curve - the Customer Demands it, the Market Demands it, do You?
May 10, 2023

Companies today are being faced with business-critical yet seemingly conflicting topics; how to build trust, loyalty and personalized experiences that fuel growth in a world of fading cookies and GDPR. There has never been more urgency than now to focus on strategy and technology to meet the demands of the privacy-conscious consumer.  The collection of data and its management is core to this challenge, but current identity methods are missing the opportunity to solve it with legacy approaches and risk-based thinking. At IndyKite, we believe that facing this mounting challenge requires us to make leaps in both our thinking and technology implementations. Join us as we challenge the current operating state and discuss what the world might look like when we have the tools to power a truly customer-centric ecosystem - one where consumer data ownership and personalized services that fuel growth are no longer at odds.

Analyst Chat #160: Upgrade Your Security Management Game
Feb 13, 2023

Cyberattacks have been intensifying over the past few years as cybercriminals continue to devise new strategies to launch sophisticated attacks and gain unauthorized access. The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) that were once only used by well-funded state actors are being commoditized by cybercriminals. As a result, some vendors realized that the traditional approaches and tools of cybersecurity have failed to keep up.

Parallel to SIEM solutions, a class of incident investigation and response platforms has emerged focusing on creating more streamlined and automated workflows for dealing with security incidents. Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) products are the latest iteration of this evolution. SOAR vendors provide solutions that offer centralized coordination, collaboration, and management for forensic analysis and incident response.
