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.

Why Active Directory is the Prime Cyber attack Target - and what to do about it!
May 10, 2023

For more than two decades, Microsoft Active Directory (AD) has been the de facto method organizations use to authenticate and authorize users for access to computers, devices, and applications within a company’s network. Most companies still rely on it and have further extended its reach into the cloud by synchronizing their on-prem AD with the Microsoft Azure AD to allow proper SSO to cloud-applications by their users. AD is celebrated for its extensive compatibility with various applications and Windows editions, but that compatibility comes with security downsides.

Compromises of Active Directory can occur as an entry point leading to a further attack or can arise at various other points along the kill-chain following an initial compromise via some other mechanism. Even in cases where a compromise is gained following an attack on applications or infrastructure directly, it is frequently infeasible for an attacker to progress further without elevating privileges, making Active Directory a primary target in an overall breach strategy.

It is therefore important that Active Directory defense tools are paired with a wider Zero Trust and XDR approach to provide full visibility over organizational infrastructure, enabling security teams to accurately identify the point of origin of an attack, and to perform the containment and remediation actions required to neutralize and prevent reoccurrence of an attack.

Join Principal Technologist, Guido Grillenmeier, to discuss AD access points used in recent cyberattacks, security risks to watch for in managing AD with Azure AD, how to look for warning signs that AD has been compromised and steps to take in the event of an attack.

Market Overview CIAM: Customer Identity & Access Management
May 12, 2023

This session provides an overview of the CIAM solution market and provides you with a compass to help finding the solution that best meets your needs. In a recent Leadership Compass, KuppingerCole´s Senior Analyst John Tolbert examined the CIAM market segment, product/service functionality, relative market share, and innovative approaches to providing SOAR solutions.

Identity in the C-Suite? The Role of the Chief Identity Officer
May 11, 2023

Whereas our Privacy and Security peers have top executive-level access and presence as well as often Board-level access, Identity typically does not.

Should that continue to be the case? Are the conditions right for the establishment of a Chief Identity Office… and is that even a good idea?

In this panel, Drs. Jacoba Sieders, Denny Prvu, and Ian Glazer will debate the pros and cons of the notion of a Chief Identity Officer role. Topics will include:

  • What would the value of such a role be? And how is such a role measured?
  • What would the responsibilities of said Officer be and what is the role’s remit? What are its boundaries?
  • What questions should the Board and C-Suite be asking? What should they know about identity that they don’t today?
  • How would such an Officer quantify the value of the identity infrastructure to the business?
  • Does the need for the role differ based on industry sector and geography?
  • How would this role fit with the Chief Digital Officer, Information Security Officer, and Privacy / Data Protection Officer?
  • And how would this make things better for the digital identity practitioner and the industry as a whole?

Make Decentralized Identity work in the real world with Decentralized Ecosystem Governance
May 11, 2023

Decentralized identity has long been seen as a solution to the interconnected problems of verification, privacy, and security online, but now that it is being deployed in the marketplace, how does it manage the complex information flows and rules required by enterprises and governments? Much theoretical discussion has focused on what should happen, but in this conversation, we’ll discuss what actually happens when a customer implements a decentralized identity solution. We’ll explain why decentralized ecosystem governance is preferred to centralized trust registries, the importance of portable trust, automation, updating, and offline functionality, and why customers need to be able to choose between hierarchical and distributed governance.

Why Policy-Based Authorization is Critical for Identity First Security
May 09, 2023

The enterprise perimeter is now its data objects, APIs, applications, and its users are now the workforce, customers, partners and in many cases, machines. In this new, decentralized, and highly segmented world, CISOs and IAM leaders find themselves struggling with multiple systems and interfaces that control the most basic question: Who has access to what and when? 

In this session, we will present a new architecture for Identity First Security based on Centralized Access and Authorization Policy Management Platform, and discuss pro and cons, specific real-world implementations.

Managing your Code-to-Cloud Security Risks in a Multi-Cloud Environment
May 10, 2023

The shift to multi-cloud introduces a wide range of cloud security risks that remain unaddressed due to the siloed approach and limited focus of existing cloud security tools. Most cloud security tools offer highly focused solutions that are limited in scope and capabilities to address the growing spectrum of multi-cloud security risks. The convergence of IAM and multi-cloud security tools (CSPM, CWP and CIEM) offer a cloud security platform that takes an integrated approach to securely manage identities and their access entitlements to cloud resources for cloud-native application development, deployment and operations in the cloud. In this session, we will discuss:

  1. What are the emerging archetypes of IAM and multi-cloud security tools convergence?
  2. What are the essential building blocks to effectively address your code-to-cloud security risks in a multi-cloud environment?
  3. What are the industry best practices and recommendations to deploy and operationalize multi-cloud security tools for best results?

Street Cred: Increasing Trust in Passwordless Authentication
May 10, 2023

Good security gets out of the way of users while getting in the way of adversaries. Passwords fail on both accounts. Users feel the pain of adhering to complex password policies. Adversaries simply copy, break, or brute-force their way in. Why, then, have we spent decades with passwords as the primary factor for authentication? 

The industry needs to trust passwordless authentication (FIDO2). Adversaries and then criminals have circumvented our authentication controls for decades. From the very first theft of cleartext passwords to the very latest bypass of a second-factor, time and again improvements in defenses are met with improved attacks.

What holds us back from getting rid of passwords? Trust. In this session, we will propose a framework of technical controls to ensure only trusted sessions authenticate, regardless of faults or failures in any one factor, and to reassess based on shared signals (CAEP). We will share a path forward for increasing trust in passwordless authentication.
