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.

Yubico: Moving on from Legacy MFA - Phishing-resistant MFA as a Prerequisite for Passwordless
Shakeel Aziz, SOLUTIONS ENGINEER, Yubico
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.

Curity: Securing APIs and Microservices at Scale
Travis Spencer, CEO, Curity
Security is never a simple task; the same applies to APIs. And even more challenging at scale. It’s naturally easier to protect a few endpoints and microservices than hundreds.

ETSS: MFA in Depth – Don’t Get Caught up in MFA Theater, moderated by Delinea
Chris Witeck, VICE PRESIDENT OF PRODUCT MANAGEMENT, Delinea
MFA is one of the most effective methods in stopping attacks dead in their tracks and preventing lateral movement. MFA for SaaS apps or your perimeter are good, but not sufficient in preventing sophisticated attacks, as evidenced by recent breaches and court cases. Join this interactive discussion to deploy MFA-in-depth throughout your enterprise, especially around privileged access – from secrets checkout to machine-login to privilege elevation and more. It’s all part of the PAM deployment journey with the goal of enabling people to get their work done while minimizing opportunity for abuse.

Akeyless: Managing the Secrets Behind Machine Identities
Oded Hareven, CEO & CO-FOUNDER,
Miryam Brand, DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT MARKETING, Akeyless
The rise of machine identities and DevOps automation has caused “Secrets Sprawl,” due to the increase of database credentials, certificates, API keys, and other machine secrets.
These machine secrets are kept in siloed point solutions, multiple DevOps tools, hardcoded, and saved across on-prem servers or multiple cloud providers. Secrets sprawl is at the root of the difficulty of tracking, securing and managing machine secrets.
Join CEO, Oded Hareven as he explores the rise of machine identities, secrets sprawl, and actionable steps that IAM teams can take to address these challenges.

One Identity: Reduce Your Attack Surface by Making Obsolete IAM Tools Relevant Again
Larry Chinski, Vice President, Global IAM Strategy, One Identity
Digital and social attacks have become much easier as hackers focus on targeting mismanaged credentials in lieu of physical devices. Historical IAM tools have been deployed in conjunction with physical devices to build a robust security posture. However, with the abnormally high amount of remote workers, organizations are forced to build a next generation security posture almost completely around identity which makes individually deployed IAM tools much less effective. In this session, we will discuss how to leverage individual IAM tools together to implement the next generation IAM platform.

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.

Digital and social attacks have become much easier as hackers focus on targeting mismanaged credentials in lieu of physical devices. Historical IAM tools have been deployed in conjunction with physical devices to build a robust security posture. However, with the abnormally high amount of remote workers, organizations are forced to build a next generation security posture almost completely around identity which makes individually deployed IAM tools much less effective. In this session, we will discuss how to leverage individual IAM tools together to implement the next generation IAM platform.

Shakeel Aziz, SOLUTIONS ENGINEER, Yubico
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.

Weaponize Risk Appetite to Drive Risk Decisions
Paul Proctor, Distinguished VP Analyst, Gartner
Risk appetite fails when it is expressed in fuzzy, imprecise terms. Repositioning risk appetite in the context of investment and value delivery creates a measurable scale of risk that powers a new type of governance. Concrete assertions of risk appetite make executive decisions binding.

Akeyless: Managing the Secrets Behind Machine Identities
Oded Hareven, CEO & CO-FOUNDER,
Miryam Brand, DIRECTOR OF PRODUCT MARKETING, Akeyless
The rise of machine identities and DevOps automation has caused “Secrets Sprawl,” due to the increase of database credentials, certificates, API keys, and other machine secrets.
