The Rise of the Machines
Sep 14, 2021

As processing power becomes cheaper, smaller, and more accessible, the issues of Identity in this automated space become increasingly relevant. We will discuss how machine learning (ML) can perform many traditional governance tasks previously the responsibility of managers – from ensuring appropriate access controls to automating the processing of access requests. We will also examine how intelligent devices are acting as agents for other identities and the challenges this brings to traditional identity management. Real-world examples will be presented of ML identifying security concerns and other vulnerabilities.

Trust as the Key Concept in Future Mobility
Sep 14, 2021

The Internet and consequently the Internet of Things were built without a trust layer. Decentralized Digital Identities as basis for Connected Mobility may be one of the needed missing components to implement real data sovereignty and a trusted Economy of Things in future Connected Vehicles scenarios.

Addressing Multi-cloud Identity Challenges with a New Standard: IDQL
Sep 15, 2021

The trend toward adopting multiple cloud providers means identity is now distributed, rendering traditional, centralized access policies and perimeters obsolete. As a result, the way we think about identity and access management (IAM) has to change. This session will present Identity Query Language (IDQL), a new standard for identity and access policy orchestration across distributed and multi-cloud environments.

Decentralized Identity: What's Been Happening and Why it Matters
Sep 15, 2021

Decentralized Identity is seeing a proliferation of activity -- so much that even experts struggle to make sense of it all. Even the names of the emerging specs have gotten wacky (or, technically, WACI...)

Panel | One Size Doesn't Fit All - Why Identity User Experience Matters More Than Ever in a Zero Trust World
Sep 14, 2021

Balancing usability and security is a well-known challenge in the field of identity. With increasing threats to personal and critical business data posed by nation-states and other bad actors, organizations are moving to a default posture of Zero Trust with more and more technology vendors and service providers delivering solutions in the form of complex monitoring and policies designed to keep the bad guys out. Knowledge workers, including an increasing population of frontline workers, require and expect seamless collaboration and productivity without barriers that waste time and require technical expertise. And businesses of all sizes are looking for solutions that can be operated by managers and program owners who are not necessarily identity and security experts. At the same time, individuals are drowning in a sea of passwords and clamoring to maintain their privacy and preventing compromise in their personal lives. With more signals, potentially come more annoyances, and with more annoyances come to the proliferation of unsafe practices. As vendors and enterprises dedicated to secure and seamless identity, it is our responsibility to invest in a more secure future while remaining dedicated to solutions that guarantee higher security but are even easier and more delightful to use than today's conventional solutions. FIDO2 and the move towards passwordless solutions are getting more adoption, but still carry with them some experience challenges in onboarding and recovery. Innovations like distributed identity show promise in decentralizing ownership of personal data and putting control back in the hands of end-users but are in very early days. EIC represents the industry and our commitment to creating trustworthy frameworks that protect organizations and people.

Join a panel of experts to share their thoughts on how we can continue on a pace of innovation in zero-trust while maintaining trust and usability for everyday people in a digital world.

- innovation requires investment across security, privacy, and usability

- abstracting complexity from both end-users and operators is more important than ever

- vendors and enterprises owe it to their users to consider everyday user experience a vital part of creating a secure environment

DIDComm and the Self-Sovereign Internet
Sep 15, 2021
DIDComm is the messaging protocol implemented in Hyperledger Aries that provides utility for DID-based relationships. Many may think DIDComm is just a way to exchange credentials, but it's more than that. DIDComm is a protocol layer capable of supporting specialized application protocols for any given workflow. Because of its general nature and inherent support for self-sovereign relationships, DIDComm provides a basis for a self-sovereign internet, a secure internet overlay, that is much more private, enabling, and flexible than the one we've built using Web 2.0 technologies. This talk introduces Autonomic Identity Architectures, describes DIDComm, discusses its protocological nature, and presents use cases in the Internet of Things.

Applying Zero Trust to Humans and Things
Sep 14, 2021

The pandemic has dramatically changed how we work, shop, meet and learn. Simple username and password credentials can no longer be part of this new world. They have become every user’s and every IT departments’ nightmare. Connected IoT things are for the first time outnumbering non IoT connections such as Tablet, Phones and PCs and many emerging business models will drive more revenue through IoT-enabled services than the products through which they’re delivered. Applying zero trust thinking to all identities including connected things and not just employees and their PCs is therefore a concept organisations will need look into to ensure adequate security measures for their employees and things.

In this session we’ll talk about:

  • Current challenges of managing IoT devices
  • How identity of things automate and improve user experience
  • The role of IAM in Zero Trust

Give Me 10 Minutes, I'll Give You The Truth About Identity
Sep 13, 2021

User recognition and authentication is becoming the central element of companies' digitalisation strategy. Not only are user registration and login the first experiences users make, Identity and Access management will ultimately determine which company recognises and serves the needs of its users best and will be successful in the market.

What you can expect

  • A holistic view on identity and access management
  • A forward-looking way of thinking and
  • Progressive software architectures
