Transforming Identity Management to Address the Evolving UAE Threat Landscape

10:00 - 12:30 GST | Dubai, UAE

Event Overview

As digital transformation accelerates with remote work and cloud deployments, both defenders and attackers are leveraging generative AI. These advancements boost productivity but also expand the threat landscape and introduce new vulnerabilities, making the authentication of human and machine identities crucial for securing digital assets.
 
The UAE, as a hub for innovation and economic growth, faces unique cyber threats due to its affluence and geopolitical tensions. Organisations must adopt identity management strategies for both human and machine identities, incorporating least privilege access and zero-trust architecture.
 
In this roundtable, experts from CyberArk and KPMG will explore holistic identity management, automating privileged access, and implementing context-based controls with generative AI.

DISCUSSION POINTS

  • The unique characteristics of identity-related attacks in the UAE and how they differ from global trends.

 

  •  The impact of rapid technological adoption in the UAE on identity and access management (IAM) based on a zero-trust architecture.

 

  • Effective strategies for automating the management of privileged and high-risk access accounts.

 

  • Leveraging generative AI to establish context-based access controls and automate
    policy-based decisions
