Identity Is the New Perimeter: Securing Access in a Borderless World

As identity becomes the core of enterprise defense, attackers exploit misconfigurations, overprivileged accounts, and identity sprawl across cloud and on-prem systems. Teams struggle with managing identity risk at scale while ensuring user experience and compliance.

This eSummit provides expert-led guidance on modern IAM, zero-trust architectures, and continuous authentication. From identity threat detection and response (ITDR) to least-privilege automation, attendees will learn how to strengthen the human and machine identities that now define organizational boundaries.

Key Issues Covered at The Official Cybersecurity Summit

Identity Sprawl and Hidden Privilege: Finding (and Fixing) the Access You Don’t Know You Have

In a borderless enterprise, identity risk often hides in plain sight: stale accounts, shadow admins, forgotten service principals, and entitlements that quietly expanded over years of exceptions. This panel tackles the hard operational reality of identity sprawl across cloud and on-prem—how it happens, why it persists, and how attackers exploit it through misconfigurations and privilege chaining. Panelists will share practical approaches to discover effective access, reduce privilege safely, and build guardrails that prevent re-sprawl without breaking the business.

ITDR in Practice: Detecting and Responding to Identity-Driven Attacks Faster Than the Adversary

Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) is becoming essential as attackers bypass endpoints and go straight for credentials, tokens, and identity control planes. This panel explores what “good ITDR” looks like beyond marketing: the telemetry that matters (authentication, token issuance, directory changes, conditional access, API calls), the detections that catch real attacks (impossible travel is not enough), and the response motions that stop blast radius quickly. We’ll also cover how to integrate ITDR with SOC operations, incident response, and cloud security teams.

Continuous Authentication Without Continuous Friction: Marrying User Experience, Compliance, and Zero Trust

Zero trust demands continuous verification—but users and business leaders won’t tolerate endless prompts and broken workflows. This panel examines how organizations can implement continuous authentication and risk-based access in ways that improve security and usability at the same time. Topics include phishing-resistant MFA, device and session posture, step-up authentication, adaptive policies, and designing compliance requirements. Panelists will share lessons learned on reducing helpdesk load, improving adoption, and making “secure by default” feel invisible.
