CONFERENCE AGENDA

9:00am – 10:00am: Redefining Trust: Building a Strategic Identity Framework for the Modern Enterprise

Rob Civitello, Sr. Director, Identity & Access Management, Alight Solutions

As digital ecosystems expand and organizations accelerate cloud adoption, Identity and Access Management (IAM) is no longer a tactical IT function—it’s a strategic pillar of business resilience, customer trust, and digital innovation. In this opening keynote, we’ll explore how IAM can move beyond compliance and operational efficiency to become a strategic enabler of secure digital transformation.

The session will cover:

How evolving threats, remote work, and regulatory demands are reshaping the identity landscape
A strategic blueprint for modern IAM: aligning people, processes, and platforms
The role of Zero Trust, decentralized identity, and identity fabric models in future-proofing your enterprise
How to bridge the gap between security and user experience, balancing frictionless access with strong protection
Lessons learned from leading organizations that have embedded IAM into their digital and business strategies

Join us for a forward-looking discussion on how to elevate IAM from a backend concern to a boardroom conversation—and how your identity strategy today will define your competitive edge tomorrow.

1:30pm – 2:30pm: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence in IAM: Enhancing Threat Detection and Response

Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers powerful tools for enhancing IAM systems. This session explores how AI can be utilized for anomaly detection, risk-based authentication, and automated response to identity threats. Attendees will understand the benefits and limitations of AI in IAM, and how to implement AI-driven solutions to proactively manage identity-related risks.

2:30pm – 3:00pm: Refreshment Break

3:00pm – 4:00pm: Dynamic Fraud Prevention Strategies – Grow Your Organization’s Bottom-Line Through Dynamic Fraud Prevention

Zee Alsayag, Sr. Sales Engineer, Ping Identity

New account fraud and account takeover are persistent problems for CIOs and CISOs because fraudsters are constantly evolving their tactics, requiring security teams to adapt rapidly while maintaining user-friendly experiences. The cost of fraud is high. The fear of data breaches and the potential financial and reputational damage they cause keep CIOs and CISOs awake at night, as does the pressure to balance stringent security measures with smooth customer experiences. CIOs and CISOs might cite budget constraints, legacy infrastructure complexities, and the potential for negative customer experience impacts as reasons for not fully achieving fraud prevention initiatives. This highlights the tension between security needs and organizational priorities.
Key Takeaways –

At this session we will review how you can differentiate genuine users from potential fraudsters and prevent account takeover attempts while minimizing friction for legitimate users by:
• Strengthen security during account creation by validating government-issued IDs and using liveness detection to verify user identities.
• Analyze user behavior, device information, network signals, and more to detect anomalies.
• Assign risk scores that trigger security measures when necessary.
• Integrate with existing fraud prevention systems and security tools for a comprehensive approach to fraud detection and mitigation.
