Opening Introductions
Presentation
The Past, Present and Future of Strong Authentication
Authentication is a foundational element of every cybersecurity program. With more than 80% of data breaches and most ransomware incidents stemming from credential-based attacks (e.g., phishing, credential stuffing, RDP brute, etc.), it has become clear that passwords are a fatally flawed authentication method. Unfortunately, many common solutions are “band-aids” on top of passwords and are lacking from both a security and user experience perspective. Replacing passwords as an authentication factor is finally possible. While eliminating passwords is a critical step in stopping credential-based attacks, it is just a first step on the journey to advanced authentication and access control needed to achieve zero trust.In this talk, we will discuss:
- A brief history of authentication
- Changing requirements in the new work from home(or anywhere) business model and cloud-centric architectures
- Can we gain risk-reduction improvements by converging the traditionally disparate identity and security processes and technologies?
- A case for continuous user authentication
- What is device risk and why is the real-time assessment of endpoint security important

Infrastructure as Code Security
Learn how to improve your security posture with Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Make sure automation and security are at the forefront of your pipeline designs.
Deep dive into how Infrastructure as Code (IaC) can improve security and operations through fast and repeatable deployments. In traditional deployment and management models, rarely does improved security contribute to faster delivery. IaC changes the game by making security a foundational part of your day 1 deployment stance. Learn how IT and security teams can mutually benefit from a shared pipeline.

“What’s the Worst That Can Happen?”
The year is 2032. We live, work, and play in the “metaverse” – a virtual reality universe. Our digital identities are now our main forms of existence; we live entirely online and do everything in 1’s and 0’s.
It seems improbable, but we’ve been driving at full speed towards this reality since the advent of the internet.
Over the next 10 years then, how does cybersecurity need to evolve? What do we as leaders need to do TODAY to secure a future world that exists mostly in the virtual? And more importantly, what can we do to help prepare our companies and communities for this eventuality?
Join Naomi Buckwalter, Director of Information Security & IT at Beam Technologies, as she paints the pictures of two alternate realities – one in which cybersecurity is seen as everyone’s responsibility, and the other in which we treat cybersecurity as an afterthought. Because cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem.
Our future depends on it.

Security Challenges with Digital Co-workers
As organizations continue to grow, especially through acquisition, the adoption of tools to automate processes to augment workers has become increasingly popular. In an effort to increase the operational efficiency that tools such as Robotic Process Automation provide, the security element is oftentimes forgotten. Join One Identity’s Larry Chinski to discuss threats that digital coworkers pose in organizations and how to mitigate them.

Compliance as a Catalyst for Reducing Risk
Compliance is a required part of risk management. But are your compliance initiatives helping you bridge compliance and risk? Effective compliance is a catalyst for developing a proactive, risk management program by providing effective controls and tools that assess, manage, and monitor risk. Compliance isn’t about checking the box, it’s about proactively protecting your company and providing assurance so that others trust doing business with you. And, demonstrating trust will be the next market shaper.
- Challenges in Compliance and Risk Programs
- Five Best Practices in starting a Risk Program
- Compliance Considerations that will Improve Your Risk Posture

Adopting Zero Trust Through Identity First Networking
In the past two years, we’ve seen an exponential increase in requirements to adjust to work from anywhere environment. This rapid digital shift has created a burden on both security and networking infrastructure that was never designed for a distributed workforce. Now, with many, if not all employees, vendors, and partners accessing resources from outside of your traditional network, secure access has become a top priority.
Join Twingate’s Co-Founder and CPO Alex Marshall for a brief presentation discussing the importance of Identity-First Networking and how it will pave your path towards adopting Zero Trust.
After joining this session you’ll come away with:
-
Key concepts needed to adopt zero trust
-
Why ephemeral access should be considered
-
A modern distributed networking topology
