As long as passwords exist, enterprises are vulnerable to account takeover attacks –yet organizations looking to eliminate passwords may not know where to begin their passwordless journey. While passwordless authentication methods—especially those based on FIDO2—are widely available, they are not yet universally supported nor adopted. This lack of a universal approach can cause confusion and complacency—or both. Attend this session to learn why (and how) organizations should move away from passwords and legacy MFA to advance to and adopt a secure passwordless strategy centered on phishing-resistant MFA in 2023

The Trust Over IP Foundation (ToIP) is focused on the centerpiece of the ToIP stack: the trust spanning protocol that will do for identity interchange what the Internet Protocol did for data interchange. This panel will explore how this will enable ubiquitous, trusted, interoperable identity exchange.
The internet was designed without a trusted identity layer to connect physical entities to the digital world. This layer is now emerging in the form of decentralized digital identity systems based on digital wallets and digital credentials. ToIP was founded by a pan-industry group of leading organizations with a mission to provide a robust, common set of standards forming a complete architecture for internet-scale digital trust. The ToIP Technical Architecture Specification V1 was completed earlier this year. Now ToIP is focusing on the keystone to ubiquitous identity, the ToIP Trust Spanning Protocol. This protocol will do for identity interchange what the Internet protocol did for data interchange.
This interactive panel, moderated by ToIP’s Executive Director, will explore the views of its member organizations for a lively and engaging debate on how we finally establish trust in the digital age. Come to this panel to understand the why, how, and when of this new protocol.
Cybercriminals no longer “hack” in – they simply log in. Once inside, they hunt for privileged accounts. A vast majority of breaches today are due to the abuse of stolen privileged accounts. Privileged accounts are very powerful but at times, anonymous and shared. Learn how to take control of Privileged Access to ensure that your most valuable asset - your data - is protected.
OpenID for Verifiable Credentials (OID4VC) is a set of protocols that enables issuance and presentation of verifiable credentials expressed in any format including but not limited to W3C vc-data-model and ISO/IEC 18013-5 mDL. The power of the protocols lies in its demonstrated simplicity, security, and the implementer's ability to make choices across the tech stack - not just for credential formats, but also entity identifiers, trust model, crypto suites, revocation mechanism, etc. However, this also means that to be interoperable and enable certain use-cases(s), implementers need to agree on the sets of choices across the tech stack, usually referred to as interoperability profiles.
In this talk, we will share implementation experience of OID4VC specifications, and introduce existing interoperability profiles based on OID4VC. Of course we will also provide updates to OID4VC specifications, how they have evolved from the last year based on an overwhelming amount of implementation feedback.
We must secure our organization’s processes regardless of what tech they run on. Originally, security leaders had leverage. We controlled the horizontal. We controlled the vertical. And if people wanted to work, they needed to follow our rules to access corporate apps and services. But then came Cloud apps, and BYOD, and consumerization, pushing security beyond our outer limits. Security happens where psychology and technology intersect. The everyday decisions of employees increase or decrease an organization’s risk.
Employees don’t need us. And by employee, I mean more than end-users. This is a broader conversation; including software developers, IT engineers, DevOps practitioners, and more. To get people to opt in and follow secure practices, we turn to behavior science. IT security leaders must offer them a compelling experience. In this panel we will discuss how to carefully balance the need for security, compliance, and efficient resource management to ensure that your cloud environment is both secure and effective.
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.”
Vertical risk management and complete identity governance can only be achieved through integration of critical platforms with other systems and applications in use and by either integrating existing point-solutions or reducing their number altogether. Integration of the identity-platform with SAP is one of those major challenges for many organizations today.
One Identity’s approach to this challenge is through a unifying, standard integration into SAP as well as other systems and applications to establish a common GRC framework and security concept. Which includes preventing isolated environments. To establish SAP-internal governance and minimize risk within the platforms privilege landscape most organizations use specialized embedded tools like ECS (Easy Content Solution) from IBS-Schreiber Solution. Integrating the identity management platform with the SAP rule-set administration allows SAP Rule sets to be applied directly, run SoD-analysis fast and efficiently and extend them to other systems and applications, such as MS AD, AAD. The potential value of this approach is significant as it allows a preventive risk-assessment throughout the whole SAP-stack.
This integrative approach also extends to the SAP Firefighter concept for it to be applied to the rulesets and extend these into other systems. The objective is clear: Simplify risk assessment and management, establish a unified identity administration framework and as baseline - reduce cost.
In short – it lays the foundation and framework for solid Governance.
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is critical for ensuring the security of an organization, but it can also be a complex and time-consuming process. Join us for an engaging conversation on how Identity Governance and Administration Bot Flow (IGABotFlow) is revolutionizing the IGA field. This new approach combines the power of low-code orchestration, bot technologies, and a visual interface to simplify the management of access to sensitive information and resources while improving security.
"Citizen developers" will learn how to use IGABotFlow to automate complex business processes, including identity-related tasks, with low code visual tools. Additionally, attendees will discover how bots can proactively monitor and respond to events and changes in data, performing tasks and interacting with users without explicit requests. IGABotFlow is a game-changer in the field of identity governance and access management. Attendees will learn about the use cases where this technology could make a difference in their organization.
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
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.
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:
