The ‘zero trust’ journey is no longer an aspirational model for enterprises. It has become a requirement to operate securely with a distributed workforce without a perimeter. Aligning your IAM with ‘zero trust’ could prove challenging, as the root cause of many breaches is the use of stolen credentials, the second most common threat. Managing identities, verifying them, and providing authorization continuously with continuous visibility could be a challenge for enterprises. Pursuing a ‘zero trust’ architecture could address issues around visibility, defining point of access, establishing user identity, etc.
The session will discuss:
- Taking an identity-centric approach to ‘zero trust’
- Using artificial intelligence and machine learning to help track user access
- Applying ‘zero trust’ strategy to deploy a central identity management strategy
