Beware of the Dark Side… Shining a Light on Supply Chain Security
May 10, 2023

How do we control what we do not see?

Supply chains are like that. The problem is that while you may have sight of your nearest third-party relationships, if you look further out to their relationships, things start to become a bit obscured. And that is where the risk lies.

In recent years Okta, Toyota and Morgan Stanley have all suffered data breaches that originated with an attack on the supply chain.

In this presentation, we explore the complex nature of supply chains/digital ecosystems and all the parties involved.  We’ll look at the pattern of some recent third-party attacks, examine their root cause and what lessons we can learn.

Finally, we'll explore the critical capabilities that are needed as the foundation for a solid third-party strategy; one that provides active, continuous monitoring while reducing the overhead for compliance.

Cyber Criminals by Design – Using Digital Twins to Understand Misbehavior
May 11, 2023

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real-life subject. This mapping encompasses its entire lifecycle, is updated from real-time data, and uses simulation, machine learning, and reasoning to support decision-making.

Human beings and their behavior can also be copied and simulated by digital twins. During the last talk at the EIC conference, we already looked at the threats, challenges and opportunities creating digital twins in cybersecurity.
This time we want to discuss how we can dive into a world through a digital twin of a cybercriminal to change perspectives and to understand the cybercriminals behavior.
Imagine having a tool that can perform these simulations at the highest level. Why not use it to our own advantage?
A digital twin that not only simulates the approach and behavioral patterns of cyber criminals but can also predict ahead of time. What if we can turn the tables on cybercriminals by fighting fire with fire?

Better Safe than Sorry: A Peek into the Future with IGA
May 10, 2023

Engineers across organizations struggle with increased anxiety and stress every time they hit the push button to make complex system changes. One mistake can hinder business as usual, introduce unnecessary risks, and cause non-compliance with policies that can cripple the whole organization.

Simulations could be the answer engineers are looking for. They are used in various fields to study complex systems and help engineers create hypothetical scenarios to see the impact of certain changes before implementing them.

In this presentation, the Evolveum Development Team Leader, Katarina Bolemant, will explain the motivation and common pain points of deploying an IGA solution. She will show you the endless possibilities of using simulations to evaluate the impact of changes and how to identify potential issues and reduce the risks of errors. Using simulations will lift the burden off engineers’ shoulders, increase confidence in their decisions, and build stronger relationships with other stakeholders.

Offer a peek into the future, and both technical personnel and decision makers will appreciate you for providing the possibility to review the simulated results and make necessary adjustments before implementing changes in the production environment.

Prompt Engineering for Identity Security Professionals | Workshop
May 09, 2023

ChatGPT mainly is what you make out of it. If you are an author it will help you writing. If you are a tech analyst it will help you create a list of critical capabilities for a certain species of software tools. And if you want to hack into a network it will help you writing code that can be used maliciously. 

A prompt guides language models like ChatGPT to create meaningful and useful output. This workshop will teach you the best practices for crafting prompts that result in meaningful and accurate responses. You'll learn how to structure your prompts to elicit specific information, as well as techniques for fine-tuning the model to suit your needs. Whether you're a developer, researcher, or just a curious individual, this workshop is designed to give you the skills you need to unlock the full potential of ChatGPT. Join us and take the first step towards creating truly intelligent conversational systems..

When we asked ChatGPT to create a workshop abstract for Identity Security Professionals, this was the output it provided:

"Prompt Engineering is a powerful tool that can enhance the abilities of identity security professionals to perform their job more effectively. The workshop will equip attendees with the skills they need to engineer AI prompts and leverage AI tools to research, communicate, understand new technologies and threats, understand malicious code, detect or scan for vulnerabilities, generate countermeasures, and summarize their findings and communicate status and results effectively.

Attendees will learn how to use natural language processing techniques and machine learning to improve the efficiency and accuracy of their work, and gain a deeper understanding of the most recent trends and developments in the field of identity security. Additionally, by providing an in-depth examination of the latest methodologies and tools used in prompt engineering, attendees will be well-equipped to stay ahead of emerging threats and secure their organizations' sensitive data."

Digital Trust in the Metaverse & Decentralized Internet of Everything
May 11, 2023

Phishing, hacking, threats, fraud, and malicious behavior online of all types all share a common root: verification. In this session we’ll go beyond identity and explain how decentralized identity and verifiable credentials can provide a complete, secure system for exchanging different types of information between multiple parties. Learn how Trusted Data Ecosystems can connect people, machines, companies or any two entities to multiple businesses and jurisdictions without sharing private information. In this conversation, long-time community contributor at Hyperledger, working group leader at Decentralized Identity Foundation, and Indicio Senior Engineer Sam Curren will share more about digital trust and describe the critical importance of digital verification to decentralized healthcare, finance, the metaverse, and to the interaction of digital objects and non-digital objects in the spatial web—the “Internet of Everything.”

3 Dimensions of Digital Sovereignty
May 09, 2023

Digital sovereignty has become an important topic for individuals as well as a strategic issue for countries and businesses, allowing them to operate in an environment that they trust and can control. This necessitates technology that is not overly reliant on third parties, where there is a risk of misuse of trust or non-compliance.

In this session, we will explore 3 dimensions of digital sovereignty related to identity:

  • Sovereignty of the Individual: The need to protect the individual has triggered privacy laws around the world, like GDPR. Providing end users with more control is now taken one step further with the adoption of the so-called "Self-Sovereign identity (SSI)" and "identity wallets." With SSI, users are in powerful control of their personal data, resulting in a privacy-first user experience.
  • Geopolitical Sovereignty: According to geopolitical sovereignty, data about citizens is subject to the laws and governance of the nation or state to which they belong. As data and the behavior of people become more valuable for countries, the transfer of data is regulated by laws like the US Cloud Act and GDPR. Compliance with cross-border data transfers is becoming more important than ever. 
  • Organisational Sovereignty: Organizations want to protect the interests of their employees, gig workers, customers, and business ecosystem. They also have to comply with multiple data sovereignty laws in various countries (for example, Schrems II, CCPA, LGPD, and so on). This leads to questions like, "Where is my data?" "Who has access?" and "Who holds the keys?" The more global organizations are, the more complex this process is due to the numerous local regulations they have to follow.

To Rotate or Not to Rotate (Privileged Accounts) - That is the Question
May 11, 2023

Rotating credentials of some privileged accounts is a risky task, which might lead to a business shutdown when things go wrong. But the alternative of not rotating them opens the door for attackers to take hold of your organization - thus leading to a business shutdown as well. This is a lose-lose situation.
So what should we do ? Rotate or not rotate credentials of privileged accounts ?
In this session we will discuss about the challenges and solutions.
