During this workshop, IAM leaders will learn the importance and steps required for defining a well-crafted IAM program. The session will include exercises to help leaders create their own IAM vision.

The establishment and delivery of an IAM Program is vital to delivering Identity First security. Whether you are new to identity or delivering identity and access management currently, you need to understand and communicate the role that identity plays within your organization to enable your workforce, customers and business partners to deliver their strategic initiatives.

Identity and access management leaders should use this Market Guide to make decisions about identity governance and administration products, as well as anticipate future trends, features and integration capabilities in the IGA market.

This session will provide an interview-style presentation with participating guests, who will share their thoughts and ideas from the IGA project implementations.

In this session, Identity at the Center podcast hosts Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman interview Gartner Identity & Access Management (IAM) analysts Henrique Teixeira and Rebecca Archambault. You'll learn their IAM origin stories and about their path to becoming Gartner analysts. You'll also hear opinions on past, present, and future IAM trends across access management, identity governance, privileged access, and more with questions sourced straight from the podcast's global audience. It will be an entertaining and informative conversation with audience participation throughout that will provide a unique experience for attendees.

Organizations understand the important role that identity plays in their cybersecurity program, however security and risk management leaders aren't clear on where to begin. For those who have a defined IAM program, their efforts often stall, limiting their ability to mature their IAM capabilities. Bring your questions to this session, where we can talk about initiating or enhancing your IAM program.

This will be a lively debate between Gartner analysts with a wealth of practical experience running IAM programs and implementations over several decades. An informal discussion around what worked well; what should be avoided and what we see others doing that is worth a closer look.

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.
