Identity with Zero Trust, Adaptive Risk, and some Passwordless Tricks of the Trade

The concept of Zero Trust is simple: a security framework that shifts access controls from the perimeter to individual devices and users. Implementing this methodology is where enterprises and their users start to hit some challenges. Session degradation, continuous adaptive risk, trust assessment, are all hurdles we need to overcome while maintaining assurance levels and introducing minimal friction. It isn’t easy.

This session will cover a high level overview of how Identity is a foundation of Zero Trust and provide some tips on how it is implemented with ForgeRock using a modern combination of orchestration and authentication.

You Can’t Ride the Ticket Train to Your (Hybrid) Cloud Destination

Migrating to the cloud means entering a new reality of operating in the cloud. What does that mean? Changes happening faster, dependencies on ephemeral resources, and a growing surface area of “things that can go wrong.” For risk-averse IT organizations, that sounds like a non-starter. But with the pace of innovation and pressure from competition that have adopted and adapted to the cloud, a cloud migration strategy is imperative.


So, how do you migrate to the cloud without incurring massive disruption? The answer is NOT by doing work the same way you’ve been doing it: file a ticket and wait. In this talk, Dormain Drewitz will explore:

Why IT organizations need to evolve their operational model to better detect, coordinate, and automate unplanned work

How AIOps and automation technologies provide scale factors in the face of growing event data and change events

Which best practices have helped teams evolve to a cloud operating model in ways that bring their teams along

Three IT Risks that are Not Cybersecurity

These days everyone knows that cybersecurity is a huge IT risk. While we focus on cyber-risk, we mustn’t lose sight of other serious IT risks. Wayne is here to talk about three other risks: Technical Debt, IT governance, Single Points of Failure. He illustrates each risk with a recent newspaper headline, then digs deeper to discuss what might have failed and how to mitigate the risk.

Why Traditional IAM Solutions are Insufficient in the Current Threat Landscape

Over the last few years, we have seen a shift in the credential-based cyber security market that has caused organizations to rethink their security posture. Traditional IAM tools are deployed in a fragmented, tactical fashion that is no longer able to effectively protect against cyber-attacks, specifically ransomware. Understanding what has caused this shift, how organizations have responded, and the best approach for future-proofing your IAM platform is critical for mitigating risk and building a flexible yet controlled identity-based ecosystem.
