2023 day highlights
Gartner Opening Keynote: Lead Like a Wolf
Speakers: Tina Nunno, Distinguished VP Analyst
There is no safe middle ground in leadership, only challenging tradeoffs. A wolf learns the difference between calculated risk taking and recklessness, and recognizes that going to extremes can help bring a dark enterprise or situation to the light side. To be a successful wolf leader, you must master the three extreme disciplines of power, manipulation, and warfare.
Guest Keynote: Disability & Innovation
Speaker: Haben Girma, Disability Rights Lawyer and Author
Disabled people are the largest historically underrepresented group, numbering over one billion worldwide. Reaching a group of this scale creates value for everyone. Organizations that prioritize accessibility benefit by gaining access to a much larger audience, improving the experience for both disabled and nondisabled people, and facilitating further innovation. Join us for an engaging presentation where Haben Girma will share how she became an advocate and what we can do to make our communities more inclusive.
Featured Session: Identity-First Security as the North Star for Your IAM Reimplementation
Speaker: Mary Ruddy, VP Analyst
Many organizations are reimplementing identity and access management. This session will show how organizations can use the principles of Identity-First Security to guide the prioritization and design of their best practice IAM reimplementations.
Featured Session: CIEM is Paving the Way for Identity Fabric Immunity in the Cloud. What's Next?
Speaker: Henrique Teixeira, Sr Director Analyst
The identity infrastructure in most organizations is too brittle to survive a targeted attack. Over 80% of organizations have suffered an identity related breach in the last 12 months. The fragility is in large part related to incomplete, misconfigured or vulnerable elements in the identity fabric. Identity fabric immunity applies the concept of digital immune systems to identity infrastructure to minimize defects and failures.
Guest Keynote: Your Brain Is Good at Inclusion — Except When It’s Not
Speaker: Dr. Steve Robbins, Chief Curiosity Cultivator at S.L. Robbins and Associates
This dynamic and eye-opening session provides an innovative, neuroscience-based look at the benefits of creating inclusive workplaces, using the fields of cognitive neuroscience, social-psychology, and communication (among others). Dr. Robbins will delve into the hard-wired human need to belong – and what happens when that need is not met. Leaders will walk away energized with a clear DE&I strategy, the positive impact it will have on their organization and how it will empower their teams and key stakeholders to view DE&I as vital to success, not just something that is an afterthought.
Gartner Keynote: Outlook for Identity and Access Management, 2023
Speaker: Homan Farahmand, VP Analyst
Digital identity requirements and importance are growing, as organizations are migrating their infrastructure and apps to the cloud. Enterprises anticipate innovations to enable continuous, dynamic, and intelligent IAM controls, while bracing for emerging decentralized identity impact and potential Web 3 business model disruption. This session discusses key trends and IAM outlook in the coming years.
Featured Session: How Identity Gets a Seat at the Grown Up Table
Speaker: Rebecca Archambault, Sr Director Analyst
Leaders responsible for IAM are generally not accustomed to recognizing and communicating the influence that IAM has on business outcomes or associating IAM with environmental, organization or social change. It is time for identity to be recognized as a valued strategic partner that contributes to the delivery of organizational goals and objectives.

Beyond ID: Sabre’s Journey to Digital Identity Modernization
Neeraj Methi, VP, SOLUTIONS, BeyondID
Kristin Coop, RISK & SECURITY, SABRE, INC.-TX-USA
A high-quality user experience has been a focal point for companies engaging in new digital initiatives. But the digital front door is where every interaction begins, making Identity Management the most important technology in your architecture. It gives companies the opportunity to deliver a seamless, robust user experience while protecting user’s data and keeping access secure.
“Never trust, always verify” is the guiding principle behind Zero Trust. In today’s environment, people are the perimeter, not firewalls. Trust is now predicated on identity and access, whether it’s a user, a web service, or a device, rather than the familiar “moat” around the company’s network.
Deploying an Identity Fabric architecture gives organizations the flexibility and consistency to support identities across a distributed, multi-cloud environment. It also adds cohesion to separate IAM services while reducing costs and speeding up deployment.
Join Neeraj Methi, Vice President of Solutions for Beyond ID as he explores the importance and benefits of the User Experience, Zero Trust and Identity Fabric.

Silverfort: The Identity Security Blind Spot: MFA and ITDR for Legacy Systems and Service Accounts
Hed Kovetz, CEO & Co-Founder, Silverfort
MFA and other identity security controls are very effective in protecting web apps and modern systems, but until now they couldn’t be applied to legacy systems, command-line interfaces, service accounts, OT systems and many other sensitive resources. These ‘blind spots’ are extensively leveraged in data breaches and ransomware attacks, and also prevent meeting regulatory and cyber insurance requirements. In this session we will show how identity security controls, ranging from the traditional MFA to the emerging ITDR, can now be extended to critical resources that couldn’t be protected before.

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. 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.

Case Study: Seattle Children's Improves Quality of Life, Reduces Burnout with Access Management
Dr. Zafar Chaudry, Sr. Vice President and Chief Digital and Information Officer, Seattle Children's Hospital
When Dr. Chaudry came to Seattle Children's Hospital, he noticed access and authentication were a problem for clinicians. After process-mapping workflows and consulting experts, doctors, and nurses themselves, Dr. Chaudry determined the right solution. Through implementing password-less single sign-on, about 15 minutes typically spent interacting with technology were shaved off of each clinician's workflow, drastically improving their quality of life. They later implemented a similar multifactor authentication process for the electronic prescribing of controlled substances. This no-click access SSO method coupled with secure MFA improved employees' work-life balance, allowing them to focus more on patient care and less on technology, while enabling security and compliance. Further, these solutions together establish the core for holistic digital identity security. This session will discuss how streamlined identity and access management paves the way to comprehensive digital identity management.
