Who was the real Tara Simmons? On November 16, 2017, she sat before the Washington State Supreme Court. The child of addicts and an ex-addict and ex-felon herself, she had subsequently graduated near the top of her law school class. She was asking the court to trust her to become an attorney, and the outcome of her case rested whether or not her past could be used to predict her future.
Algorithms that use the past to predict the future are commonplace: they predict what we’ll watch next, or how financially stable we will be, or, as in Tara’s case, how likely we are to commit a crime. Over the last several years, the identity industry noted the influence of algorithms on human well-being and the inherent biases in many of them. How can we as identity practitioners employ algorithms while at the same time ensure that they promote justice and fairness?
As we follow the case of Tara Simmons and others like her, we’ll develop a practical ethical standard for evaluating algorithms from a uniquely identity-centric standpoint. Learn how to ask the right questions, use open-source tools, and develop an assessment model to ensure that your systems prioritize well-being, demonstrate accountability, provide transparency in decision-making, promote fairness, and provide for user data rights.

Digital identity has been under a constant evolution for the last 30 years. It started from a simple access control via user account within a system to a shared credential among the systems, then to the federated identity and bring-your-own-identity (BYOI). Modern usages are not only for access control but include such purposes like digital on-boarding (account opening), employee and customer relationship management. Among the many technologies out there, OpenID seems to have gained popularity in the market that you are probably using it without knowing it. This session explains the positioning of OpenID in the digital ID landscape and explores the future potential for both corporations and individuals for the coming years.
In today’s world, organizations and people manage a complex web of digital relationships. To keep everyone safe, each digital interaction must be validated. Strong tools and technologies are now available to help organizations protect their resources, employees, business partners, and customers. But there are no similar tools—beyond legislation—for individuals trying to protect their private information. As an industry, we have a responsibility to provide technology tools that ensure privacy for individuals even while they strengthen security. This means supporting citizens’ rights by putting them in control of their data and providing standards-based solutions for interoperability, portability, and protection for the entire data lifecycle.
The Holy Grail of identity and access management is identity governance and administration (IGA). Unfortunately, getting IGA right is much easier said than done. From access request through provisioning and into identity lifecycle management; and from user access governance, through data governance, and into privileged access governance, the sheer volume of users, systems, and scenarios that must be addressed can be overwhelming.
In this session, One Identity will discuss what IGA truly means, how to determine where to start, and where to go next once you are on the path. Don’t be fooled by vendors pitching a myopic or siloed approach to IGA, or a heavy-handed solution that may be more complex and expensive than you can handle. To get IGA right takes designing a program that satisfies YOUR objective and fits within YOUR budget and skillset. It can be done, but it takes a fresh look at the age-old challenge.
Driving growth through customer and partner engagement is critical for B2B business success. Yet, too often, companies struggle to meet this vital need. Why? For partner organizations, managing the end-to-end partner lifecycle is difficult using legacy technologies and manual practices. Each partner has varying needs for security roles, authorizations, and application permissions, and these elements must be handled efficiently so partners get to market quickly and so users can easily go about their day-to-day work. Meanwhile, the business’ most sensitive data must be protected against breaches in order to not risk breaking the partner’s trust. For B2B marketing and sales teams, business customers today are accustomed to more relevant and transparent experiences as consumers and expect that same treatment in their B2B buyer journeys. This means that marketing and sales teams must deliver personalized, content-driven digital experiences, transparency around data collection and processing, and meaningful control for prospects and customers over their personal data. Finally, many B2B businesses have been slow to respond to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and, as a result, are losing ground to more compliant competitors while putting their brand reputation in jeopardy.
To overcome these challenges, you need a single solution to centrally manage the entire lifecycle of external digital identity, consent, authentication, and authorization, to help reduce risk, lower costs and improve customer and partner user experience. Does this sound too good to be true?
Learn how the new SAP® Customer Identity and Access Management for B2B (SAP CIAM for B2B) solution can help your business achieve measurable results through enhanced B2B customer and partner engagement.
Passwords? No, it’s not passwords. I’ll give you a hint: we all use them. Everyday. Many many times a day. Still don’t know? It’s the humble username. The “middle child” of identity management, the username doesn’t get the same attention that its big brother “Password” and its little sister “Password-less” get. Instead, just does his job without thanks or recognition. But, failing to pay attention to username can have major negative impact in both B2B and B2C scenarios. In this talk, Mr. Glazer explores the critical aspects of usernames, highlights downsides of getting username wrong, and offers some best practices when designing username schemes.
A steady stream of trends has built up over the years fueling a growing momentum around Decentralized Identity. Kim Cameron will report on why early adopters – enterprises both large and small – are already beginning to make Decentralized Identity part of their strategy for digital transformation. He will argue that the underlying trends will only intensify – and that enterprises which figure out how to benefit early will benefit the most.
Very often we hear the argument, that the way the internet has been influencing our lives can be compared to Gutenberg´s invention of the printing press. Emilio Mordini - Psychiatrist and one of the world´s most distinguished thought leaders on how future technology will change the way we think and live, says that the transition from analog to digital is much closer to the transition from the spoken to literacy than the printing press ever was, because it is changing the medium in which human thoughts are materialized. In his keynote, Dr. Mordini will refer to Dürrenmatt´s Short Story "Das Sterben der Pythia" and describe why he thinks that "digital predictions" are always and unavoidably self-fulfilling prophecies.
Do you build your own car? Do you buy all the components and put them together yourself? Of course you don't. You find vendors who have already assembled all of the pieces into a finished car, and then select the options for the car that fits it perfectly to your wish list. Don't you think it’s time that you bought your software the same way? Why spend your time and money running around trying to find all of the best pieces, and even more money trying to put them together. Broadcom believes that there is a better way, and we intend to deliver it to our customers. Come hear how we are merging DevOps with Security to deliver a one-stop shop for purchasing everything you need to deliver apps and services to your customers.
