This panel will explore the current state of multifactor authentication (MFA) and its limitations, as well as potential solutions for improving the security and user experience of MFA. We will discuss topics such as the challenges of implementing MFA, the limitations of mobile-based MFA, and alternative methods for MFA, such as biometrics and behavioral analysis. The panel will also address the future of MFA, discussing the potential for new technologies to improve security and user experience, and the role of industry and government in shaping the future of MFA. Overall, the panel aims to provide valuable insights and perspectives on the multifactor authentication dilemma and the steps needed to move beyond mobile-based solutions.

In this session, Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts look at the potential of utilizing DID approaches within the enterprise. This session will look at the business benefits, the steps involved, important considerations, challenges, pitfalls, and recommendations for implementing decentralized identity. Martin will explain the potential and look at how this will impact existing technologies such as IGA, PAM, and Access Management, and how this relates to other trends such as WfA, BYOD, Policy-based Access, and more. He also will outline where interoperability and standards must further evolve to enable organizations in re-inventing their IAM, without ripping everything apart. He will discuss the steps involved, important considerations, challenges, pitfalls, and recommendations for implementing decentralized identity in the enterprise.
In this session, KuppingerCole´s Paul Fisher will give an overview of the market for Privilege Access Management (PAM) platforms and provide a compass to help buyers find the product that best meets their needs. KuppingerCole examines the market segment, vendor capabilities, relative market share, and innovative approaches to providing PAM solutions. He will also explain how the new Pamocracy is affecting the market.
A standardized approach to control privileged accounts can be valued as a profitable internal service.
While implementing Privileged Access Management (PAM) DKB concentrates on what kind of service delivery a PAM implementation can provide to its customers (our employees) to connect benefits for end-users and address identity security at the same time.
We call that Privileged Access Security Service.
From a technical and IAM point of view identity security can only be achieved by securing the respective digital identities and the assigned user accounts in the corresponding target systems.
In the area of IAM/PAM a comprehensive compliance level automatically results in a higher maturity of our information security management. Therefore, we reduce the non-financial risks not only by complying with regulatory requirements but also by adding effective security concepts – such as zero trust or least privilege – to our IAM/PAM ecosystem.
In this session the DKB approach to handle identities and accounts in the context of a Privileged Access Security Service will be presented.
The FIDO Alliance is working to change the nature of authentication with open standards that are more secure than passwords, simpler for consumers to use, and easier for service providers to deploy and manage. While initially focused on the consumer space FIDO2 holds advantages for the enterprise willing to break the mould on legacy authentication models.
This session will look at the components of a FIDO2 environment and investigate the options for FIDO deployments. A view of the possible future of FIDO will be discussed.
Graph is having its moment and rightfully so. Regulatory challenges, overly complex authorization scenarios and retrofitting legacy programs to meet new business needs are squeezing businesses. Implementing a graph-based approach can remove these obstacles and reduce risk.
But for many businesses, this is where graph-based implementations start and stop.
In this session, we will discuss how to turnidentity data into identity knowledge and what that can deliver. We will dive into data models that drive contextual and real-time decisions - data models which are foundational for enabling complex authorization use cases and beyond.
Finally, we will explore the benefits of graph-based deployments in your existing environments, including the value of a holistic and visually simplified data model and avoiding the accidental architecture challenge
Practical Cyber Security Architecture: Reducing complexity – Introducing a practical model for security classifications. Building and running cyber security in both worlds modern cloud security in combination with legacy on premises introduces extra complexity. Some of the well-known security patterns and models are not applicable in cloud systems while the modern security models like zero trust barely fit in legacy systems. Based on a model for security classification we will explore some practical methods for reducing complexity in modern cyber security.
Cash.App is the #1 financial app in the US. It started out with a password-less authentication paradigm back in 2013, built around OTP verifications. We are now transitioning to the next generation password-less experience built around passkey. While the transition offers many promises, the path comes with several challenges, around security guarantees, backward compatibility and seamless user experience. We share insights we learned along the journey.
Access control is a key part of cyber security, however traditional approaches do not work well for modern business IT environments that nowadays typically include a mix of applications on-prem and across multiple cloud environments.
Most modern companies tend to struggle with access management for a variety of reasons. These include the fact that it is difficult to make the necessary connections to the many disparate IT systems for which they need to provision access, role-based access management is challenging, static role-based entitlements are difficult to manage and typically require regular recertification processes, and traditional approaches are focused on granting access to resources required by an individual to perform their job function, but do not cover how those rights are actually used to stop any abuse of entitlements.
In addition, course-grained authorization is no longer sufficient because modern applications and sensitive data assets in cloud-native, containerized and DevOps environments require fine grained authorization capabilities that can also supply identity attributes and context variables.
A policy-based approach can address many of the pain points experienced by organizations today by enabling a centralized, consistent, dynamic, on-demand (just-in-time) way of managing access to IT resources. In this panel session we will discuss nothing less than the future of Access Management.
In this talk, Krishna Balan Kannappan will describe Kone´s path to a holistic and integrated Identity Security infrastructure.
Privilege Access Management:
DevSecops model is used for Development, automated deployments, Security Scans and automated Testing.
The past few years have seen a startling increase in decentralized technologies for Digital Identities. So far, much of their adoption has been limited to academic or proof-of-concept integrations (barring some shining examples) rather than consolidated production-ready use cases.
Generally, there isn't an enforced link between real-world and digital identities, and rightfully so. Still, enterprises' policies and regulations mandate companies to ensure restricted access to reserved data and undeniable attribution, which collides with general anonymity and distributed principles. Albeit SSI technologies aim at filling this gap with trusted-yet-privacy-preserving solutions, companies still need to consolidate digital identities and collapse them into a well-defined entity. We will talk about a hybrid approach to classic IAM for workforce management including W3C native credential integration with solidified and well-established SSO federations. In other words, delegate to the end users the choice of which identity technology to use as long as they can provide a trust chain that the companies can verify.
As ecosystems of customers, workforce, partners and suppliers become increasingly intertwined, companies face the challenge of managing access consistently. Companies often install different access systems for different populations, with different types of accounts and different lifecycle management.
This session presents an approach whereby different populations can be managed with a single system and a single user profile. Key in this approach is that the user profile indicates to which population (or more than one population) the user belongs. The approach also enables delegated administration and temporary accounts in a very intuitive way.
