Kicking off this unique summit, Jeremy Grant - a globally recognized leader in the digital identity space - shares his informed opinion on the current state of identity security, including updates on:
 

• The road map to passwordless authentication; 
• How identity verification is finally catching up to authentication; 
• The impact of President Biden's executive order and regulatory trends to watch. 

In the past several years, technology has become a differentiator and a disruptor to normal business. Growing industries such as fintech, biotech, healthtech, etc. introduce individual, privileged and machine identities. Yet, traditional Identity technologies and processes used today do not scale to the needs and demands of the business. Businesses, third parties and consumers want a frictionless experience and expect security by default. Join this panel to discuss:

• How do we register a consumer (person or machine) virtually?
• How do we ensure access is always appropriate?
• How do we authenticate while at the same time, minimize friction?

Cloud adoption indeed boosts digital transformation for organizations embarking on a modernization program - the main reason why organizations often opt for a hybrid AD approach. However, the other side of the coin w.r.t hybrid AD approach is, your network perimeters disappear. To address this new challenge, organizations must build a unified security strategy with hybrid identity management at the center.

As we push identity to be the new perimeter, we trip over legacy systems and technical debt. This session covers laying the groundwork, establishing governance, identifying key IAM and business processes. These are vital to modernize IAM ahead of initiatives such as digital-first and zero trust. We might not be able to race ahead, but we can catch up.

Identity used to be (relatively) easy. Users, networks, role-based controls, a bit of multifactor authentication. Then came digital transformation, and with it new topics - new challenges - such as Web 3, the Metaverse, NFTs. Paradigm shift? That's what Al Pascual says, and in this session he discusses:

• The old and new frontiers - what's shifted?
• How the identity goal posts have been permanently moved
• Opportunities and challenges for identity vendors and practitioners alike

The current state of identity for many enterprises relies on redundant and high friction steps to verify a user's identity information, because of the inability to unify and leverage previously verified information. Enterprises need a better approach to identity vetting to fully verify all user accounts in a low friction manner.  Accountable Digital Identity Association's (ADIA) created an open specification to solve this problem. They created a working prototype that is scalable, supportable and empowers consumer with self-service capabilities to manage their own identity. ADIA enables consumers to present proof of a verified identity eliminating the need for ID proofing for every digital engagement before any transaction thereby reducing the risk of fraud.

Kay Turner joined FinCEN about a year ago. Her mission: to advance the use of digital identity, to create new partnerships with federal agencies and to spread awareness about the new challenges and opportunities brought by emerging technology.

In this exclusive IAM Summit session, Turner opens up on:

• The shifting identity landscape
• IAM gaps within financial services
• Accomplishments of year one and goals for year two

Seven years ago, Ian Glazer recognized both the criticality of digital identity management as a business practice - and the lack of an industry group to address the profession's unique issues. He helped establish IDPro as a professional organization and today addresses the summit to discuss:
 

• The state of digital identity management; 
• IDPro's mission and accomplishments; 
• Analysis of recent research into the profession's skills, programs and diversity. 

Customer Identity and Access Management - CIAM - emerged as a practice prepandemic, but took off amid COVID-inspired digital transformation and the exponential growth of digital channels. Two years later, are CIAM solutions meeting enterprise and customer needs? John Horn of Aite-Novarica Group shares some of his latest research and insights on:
 

• CIAM's unique challenges to CISOs and security organizations; 
• The best practices in a mature CIAM solution; 
• How identity practitioners can attain the level of those best practices. 

If we have learned anything from the past year-plus of cybersecurity headlines, it's this: Behind every great breach there is likely a password compromise. Clumsy, hard to remember, easy to phish … "Passwords are not fit for purpose," says Andrew Shikiar of the FIDO Alliance. And in this Summit exclusive he talks about:

• The fundamental shift from traditional passwords
• FIDO authentication updates
• The future of passwordless authentication
