Moving on from legacy MFA: Phishing-resistant MFA as a prerequisite for Passwordless
May 10, 2023

As long as passwords exist, enterprises are vulnerable to account takeover attacks –yet organizations looking to eliminate passwords may not know where to begin their passwordless journey. While passwordless authentication methods—especially those based on FIDO2—are widely available, they are not yet universally supported nor adopted. This lack of a universal approach can cause confusion and complacency—or both. Attend this session to learn why (and how) organizations should move away from passwords and legacy MFA to advance to and adopt a secure passwordless strategy centered on phishing-resistant MFA in 2023

Lessons Learned from Implementing PBAC Solutions with OPA
May 10, 2023

During the last 3 years we have seen a significant uptake on decoupled authorizations solutions, the main drivers behind this is a move to the cloud, micros services and ZT implementations. In this speech Gustaf Kaijser will walk you through the feedback he has been getting from the organisations that have implemented OPA based solutions the last years, and the significant gains that they have seen in:

  • Automation of policy checks
  • Application development
  • Consistent policies across applications and infrastructure
  • Troubleshooting / Time to repairs
  • Cost of change
  • and audit

Reflections & Predictions on the Future Use (and Mis-Use) of Generative AI in the Enterprise and Beyond
May 12, 2023

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries and applications, from creating realistic images and videos to generating natural language responses. This Future Enterprise Use of Generative AI Deep Dive session will explore the current state and future trends of Generative AI technologies. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of Generative AI technology and its current and future applications in various industries.

Over the last years, Generative AI has presented significant advancements in industries such as software development, finance, insurance, education, healthcare, government, manufacturing, etc. It is expected that in the coming years Generative AI will enable businesses and organizations to create more personalized and engaging experiences for customers, optimize operations, and make more accurate decisions.

However, with great progress comes great responsibility. The growing sophistication of these algorithms also raises concerns about their impact on society, such as the potential for misuse, bias, and the displacement of human jobs. Generative AI poses significant challenges as well as opportunities. It is therefore essential to balance the development of Generative AI with responsible research and ethical considerations to ensure that its advantages can be harnessed while minimizing its potential disadvantages.”

Orchestrating Zero Trust - "Detect, Decide, Direct"
May 10, 2023

The Zero Trust paradigm, the approach of eliminating inherent trust in an IT architecture and always verifying, has been discussed for over a decade. It is well known that Zero Trust is a team sport, with Identity in the center. The many components, from IGA to Device Management, Network-segmentation to contextual awareness and beyond can be fulfilled by as many vendors, bearing the question about how to integrate these for a secure and convenient user experience. While there may be integrations available for some components, they will most likely be disjointed and/or require custom development, making it a challenge to be agile and innovative.

An alternative to the described problem would be Orchestrating Zero Trust, applying the approach of "Detect, Decide, Direct". Through Orchestration the task of gathering all signals and relevant information (Detect) for an appropriate authorization decision (Decide), and continuing with the proper next step(s) (Direct) can be fulfilled in a flexible manner, facilitating customization in a future proof manner.

In this session we will describe the "Detect, Decide, Direct" approach and see how Orchestration can be a key enabler of Zero Trust.

Oh, How the Identity Industry Has Changed!
May 12, 2023

Since IDPro began its skills survey in 2018, we have seen technologies rise and fall and how IAM practitioners continue to struggle to feel proficient in their field. From the decline in directories to the power of personal identity, the IAM field is certainly not boring!

In this session, we’ll take a look at the trends over the last several years as seen from the IAM practitioners’ perspectives on the state of the industry, their professional goals, and their alignment with their employers. We’ll also consider what has changed – and what hasn’t – when it comes to our demographics and the diversity of the field. We will also offer some teasers of the results of the most recent IDPro Skills, Programs, & Diversity Survey, which closed in March 2023.

Attendees will leave the session with a better understanding not only of the state of the industry but what skills they might want to consider adding to their repertoire for the coming year.

The Invisible Man Paradox
May 12, 2023

How changing requirements for a seamless yet secure customer experience affect your Customer Identity solution

Today's consumers live parallel lives, with one foot in the physical world and the other foot leaving many digital footprints across the internet. In the physical world, trust is easier to build and identity is easier to validate. In the digital world the consumer is The Invisible Man - more difficult to interact and connect with but wanting a simple, effortless digital experience with impeccable security. 

In this session, we will explore how identity is the link between both worlds and is the centre of every great customer experience. From providing delightful experiences to ensuring security and privacy, we will show how the right Identity Solution resolves the Invisible Man paradox, building connection and trust in the digital world.

Revolutionizing Identity Governance and Administration with Low-Code Bot Automation
May 11, 2023

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is critical for ensuring the security of an organization, but it can also be a complex and time-consuming process. Join us for an engaging conversation on how Identity Governance and Administration Bot Flow (IGABotFlow) is revolutionizing the IGA field. This new approach combines the power of low-code orchestration, bot technologies, and a visual interface to simplify the management of access to sensitive information and resources while improving security.

"Citizen developers" will learn how to use IGABotFlow to automate complex business processes, including identity-related tasks, with low code visual tools. Additionally, attendees will discover how bots can proactively monitor and respond to events and changes in data, performing tasks and interacting with users without explicit requests. IGABotFlow is a game-changer in the field of identity governance and access management. Attendees will learn about the use cases where this technology could make a difference in their organization.

CAEP and Shared Signals - Past, Present and Future
May 10, 2023

What started as a simple blog post from Google has rapidly ballooned into an industry movement. Major vendors have implemented the Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol / Profile (CAEP) and analysts, practitioners and decision makers agree that it is critical to the future of zero-trust. This keynote, by the inventor of CAEP, goes into the pain points that led to the development of CAEP, the process to recast it as a part of the Shared Signals working group in the OpenID Foundation and the trends that make it an indispensable component of any zero-trust architecture. CAEP’s non-prescriptive nature makes it easy for anyone to implement their own policies and the Shared Signals Framework makes communicating changes efficient and nearly instantaneous. A future powered by Shared Signals and CAEP enables enterprises and vendors to break information silos to create a highly secure outcome.
