Agenda
Identity is now the most valuable signal in cyber - and the earliest indicator of attacker intent. In high-threat environments, waiting for alerts isn’t enough.
This session breaks down how critical organisations are using identity telemetry - logins, privilege shifts, access anomalies, and behavioural patterns - to detect hostile activity earlier, disrupt lateral movement, and respond before impact. Hear the practical playbook for shifting identity from a static control to a live threat-intelligence capability - and what it takes to operationalise identity data at scale.
Discussing how Zero Trust models rely on strong authentication and access management to secure modern enterprises.
An interactive session where attendees participate in handling a simulated breach due to compromised credentials, focusing on containment and remediation strategies.
Users expect fast, seamless access - while attackers increasingly target identity as the weakest link. This session explores how organisations can deliver frictionless experiences without sacrificing security, using adaptive authentication, passwordless approaches, and smart UX design. Learn practical ways to reduce drop-off, strengthen trust, and align security and product goals.
- Apply adaptive, risk-based authentication to reduce friction while improving protection.
- Use design patterns like passwordless and progressive profiling to streamline user journeys.
- Align security and product teams to create identity experiences that drive engagement and trust.
Practical insights into deploying MFA effectively to protect against unauthorised access.
Delegates will chose from a list of pertinent peer-to-peer discussion topics focussing on evolving and emerging trends, techniques and technologies
Insights into how artificial intelligence is reshaping access management through behavioral analytics and adaptive authentication.
A spirited debate on the viability and security of moving beyond traditional passwords.
