Every major breach headline today shares a common flaw—authentication that trusts too much. Attackers don’t need advanced exploits, they simply log in using social engineering, phishing sites, or real-time relays that manipulate human behavior. Employees feel protected by MFA apps and codes, yet those same tools are being turned against them. The weak point isn’t technology failure—it’s misplaced trust. MFA methods that depend on user judgment, shared secrets, or remote approvals are now the open door into the enterprise. In this session, we’ll expose why the tools once considered secure have become the attacker’s favorite weapon.

What Is Causing MFA and Auth Apps to be Compromised?

The IDSA Machine and Agent Identity Working Group will preview the initial work, including the Threat Analysis, Use Cases, and the Maturity Model. This is an opportunity to see the framework firsthand and gain the tools necessary to operate securely in a machine-driven world.

Attendees will learn:
-Actionable Use Cases & Threat Analysis: Real-world scenarios to guide your strategy.
-Maturity Model & Success Metrics: A defined path to measure progress and demonstrate value to stakeholders.
-Reference Architecture & AI Agent Framework: Blueprints for securing the next generation of digital entities.

Blueprint for Machine and Agent Identity

Hybrid IT has pushed traditional SSPR to its limits. Users still get locked out, systems fall out of sync, and identity teams burn time fixing the same issues on repeat. According to the Identity Defined Security Alliance’s 2025 report, hybrid complexity is now the biggest obstacle to securing identities, and inconsistent credential control is a major source of user friction.

This session explores what comes next: enterprise-controlled credential management that delivers predictable access for users, reduces operational load for IT, and finally moves password recovery and governance into a modern, scalable model.

Attendees will learn:
- How Passwords as a Service centralizes creation, rotation, sync, and recovery across Microsoft, SaaS, on-prem, and legacy systems
- How modern mass password reset works and why it matters for baseline credential health
- Practical steps to reduce password noise and improve user experience immediately
- How to standardize governance and maintain reliable access across complex environments

What Comes After SSPR: Reducing Password Friction and Re-Establishing Control in Hybrid Environments

Providing developers and operators with timely and secure access to production servers is critical. Yet legacy approaches like jump hosts and static SSH keys, create standing privilege, developer friction and compliance gaps. In this session, we’ll explore how modern identity-native approaches can deliver just-in-time SSH and sudo access to virtual machines across cloud and on-prem servers and databases.

Attendees will learn how to eliminate standing access, tie every session to your organization’s IdP, and deliver a seamless developer experience - all without relying on the complexity or maintenance of vaults, static credentials or bastions. Walk away with practical strategies for securing privileged access while keeping teams productive.

Eliminate Static Credentials: Just-in-Time SSH/Sudo Access to Virtual Machines

Zero Trust started as a way to protect human users logging into applications. Over the past decade, it has expanded to workloads, cloud services, and machine identities. Now, with the rise of agentic AI, enterprises must confront a new challenge: how do you apply identity-driven security to autonomous systems that act, decide, and interact on their own?

In this session, Chris Owen (dotNext Europe) and Apurva Dave (Aembit) trace the evolution of Zero Trust through the lens of identity. From workforce IAM to PAM, from service accounts to non-human identities, and now to AI agents, they’ll map the journey — and the pitfalls. They’ll show how legacy approaches break down, and how organizations can evolve toward policy-driven, workload-centric, AI-ready identity models.

Attendees Will Learn:

– How Zero Trust has evolved—from securing humans and workforce IAM to workloads, APIs, service accounts, and now autonomous AI agents.

– Real-world patterns and pitfalls organizations face when adapting Zero Trust to non-human identities.

– A practical framework for “AI-ready Identity & Access” and how policies can govern machine-to-machine and agent-to-agent access.

Zero Trust and Identity: Evolving from Humans to AI

As AI agents grow more autonomous, from initiating workflows, accessing sensitive data, to making decisions in real time, they challenge the core assumptions of traditional identity and access governance. In this session, Miguel Furtado explores how AI shifts the perimeter from identity to intent, and why modern IAM strategies must evolve to continuously evaluate agent behavior, authorization scope, and data access patterns. We’ll discuss what defines a true agentic AI, how intent-aware governance can fill today’s visibility and control gaps, and what practical steps can be taken to secure non-human identities and AI agents today. If identity is the control plane of the modern enterprise, intent is its next policy layer.

Rethinking IAM with Intent:  Identity Governance in the Age of AI

Standing access is a time bomb—and yet, in most orgs, it’s still the default. Developers are over-permissioned just to avoid ticket delays. Access reviews live in spreadsheets. Security teams are buried in manual cleanup and audit prep. And the patchwork of point tools meant to help? They rarely scale—or align with how your teams actually work. This session is for the teams who are asking: Is what we’re doing even working anymore? We’ll walk through a practical, field-tested approach to implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) access—starting with what you already have, proving value with one team, and scaling without creating friction.

From Tickets to Trust: How to Roll Out Just-in-Time Access without Slowing Down Engineers

Credential theft, malicious insiders, orphaned accounts—identity-based attacks have become the leading cause of breaches, while regulatory pressures demand continuous proof of security controls.

Modern Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) has evolved from cumbersome, compliance-driven implementations into streamlined, automated defense systems that safeguard enterprises at scale.

In this webinar, Omada Field Strategist Thomas Müller-Martin will reveal the 5 IGA Essentials to Strengthen Your Cybersecurity Strategy, a proven framework for transforming identity governance from reactive compliance to proactive threat prevention.

What you’ll learn:
-Recognize today’s most critical identity threats and their real-world impact on regulated enterprises
-Master the 5 IGA Essentials that enhance cybersecurity posture while simplifying operations
-See how modern IGA solutions automate threat detection, enforce least privilege, and scale across complex global environments

Join us to discover how leading organizations leverage these essentials to prevent breaches, maintain continuous compliance, and protect their most critical assets without sacrificing business agility.

The Cybersecurity Fast Track: 5 IGA Essentials to Reduce Risk

As AI adoption accelerates across organizations, traditional security approaches focused solely on license management and non-human identities are missing the bigger picture. This webinar explores a comprehensive framework for AI security that recognizes the full spectrum of AI identities in your environment, from AI users and builders to AI agents, and provides actionable strategies for discovery, protection, and defense.
We'll examine how AI security can be looked at through an identity security lens and demonstrate how runtime intelligence reveals dramatically more AI usage than static configuration approaches. Attendees will learn practical methodologies for inventorying their complete AI footprint, identifying risky access patterns, and implementing high-fidelity detection capabilities that enable faster SOC response.

AI Users, Builders, and Agents: Securing the Next Generation of Identities

By March 2026, public TLS certificate lifespans will halve—and eventually shrink to just 47 days by 2029—driving urgent change in how organizations manage certificate renewals, and ultimately, digital trust. TLS certificates are the machine identities that underpin secure communication on the internet. Manual certificate tracking at the scale demanded by 47-day renewals simply won’t be feasible. And without automation, shortened lifecycles increase the risk of outages and compliance failures. Now is the time to implement a modern, automated certificate management strategy to safeguard trust, ensure compliance, and keep pace with the internet’s accelerating demands. You'll leave the session with practical guidance on how to:
- Modernize your certificate lifecycle management with scalable automation
- Align risk communication across technical teams, leadership, and the board
- Budget for the transition and articulate the cost of inaction
- Prepare your infrastructure for continuous 47-day renewal cycles, essential for public PKI and increasingly valuable for internal systems

From Chaos to Control: Automating Machine Identity Security Before the 47-Day Certificate Deadline

Salt Typhoon proved that attackers are exploiting identity blind spots in the network layer to bypass controls and move laterally. This session explores how traditional PAM and NAC tools leave routers, switches, and firewalls exposed, and why identity-first security must extend beyond IT systems. We’ll break down the attack path, highlight key lessons from Salt Typhoon, and show how applying Zero Trust principles at the network layer can stop similar breaches before they start.

Zero Trust Falls Short Without Network Identity: Lessons from Salt Typhoon

A single stolen password can bring your business to its knees — unless you can recover in hours, not days. The first 72 hours after a credential breach determine whether you contain the incident or face a full-scale crisis. Regulatory mandates, cyber insurance requirements, and customer trust all demand rapid recovery, yet many enterprises still rely on password management processes that take days. This session introduces a vendor-neutral, identity-first framework for 72-hour recovery, covering detection, containment, and large-scale access restoration while ensuring compliance. You’ll leave with a clear, adaptable roadmap to strengthen resilience, minimize downtime, and align identity practices with today’s threats. Identify the compliance, insurance, and business pressures driving the 72-hour identity recovery window. Master the critical steps for rapid detection, containment, and large-scale credential restoration. Avoid the hidden process and technology gaps that turn hours into days. Measure your organization’s recovery readiness against industry best practices — and know how to close the gap.

72-Hour Recovery Plan for Enterprise Password Management

Solving the Last Mile in Identity Lifecycle Management: Why Automation Is the Future

In this talk, we’ll look at how a modern approach to Identity Management is a critical enabler of Zero Trust. Gone are the days where identity can focus solely on managing access within a safe perimeter. Now, its on the front lines of one’s infrastructure and needs to be treated as such. In this talk, we’ll look at steps CISA has been talking to develop a defensible security foundation through investments in identity management and how that fits into our broader push for a more secure by design technology fabric.

Identity As a Key Enabler of Zero Trust

Zero-trust architectures demand better control on sessions that live across distributed cloud services. Open Standards such as OpenID Shared Signals and CAEP are helping companies improve session control by passing asynchronous events between services. This session will discuss real-world use cases drawn from existing and planned implementations of the protocol standards.

What You Will Learn
– Standards-based solutions to zero-trust use-cases.
– Features of the existing standards: SSF, CAEP and RISC.
– Industry adoption.
– How to adopt or implement.

Open ID Shared Signals, CAEP and RISC: Real World Use Cases

Everyone agrees it's time to kill the password to better the overall identity ecosystem, but the question of “with what” makes things a bit trickier. FIDO Authentication standards are touted by the public and private sectors as the best tools to get us there. 

Join this session to understand the importance of the authentication piece of the identity puzzle, find out about the latest trends and standards for simpler and stronger authentication, and learn what we all need to do to reduce the world's reliance on passwords on a global scale.

The State of the Industry’s Path to Passwordless

Operational resilience today depends on your ability to prevent and quickly recover from disruptions caused by cyberattacks. As Gartner notes, “misused credentials are now the top technique used in breaches…. attackers are targeting Active Directory and the identity infrastructure with phenomenal success.” Active Directory (AD) has long been a prime attack vector because of security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that cybercriminals love to exploit. But by deploying a strong Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) strategy, you can identify and address AD and Azure AD vulnerabilities, hardening your defenses against identity-related attacks and improving operational resilience.

What You Will Learn
– Why ITDR is key to operational resilience.
– Common tactics that threat actors use to target AD/Azure AD as an entry point into your environment.
– How to detect vulnerabilities in hybrid AD environments, including indicators of exposure (IOEs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs).
– How to guard against attacks that bypass traditional logging methods.
– How to ensure, a fast, clean AD forest recovery post-attack.

Semperis Presents: Strengthen Operational Resilience with ITDR

Everyone knows that MFA provides better protection against hackers than just SSO and 2FA alone. But even when cyber insurance requires organizations to use MFA, few have done so as it results in poor user experience and increased MFA bombing attacks.

Enter invisible MFA as part of the passwordless continuous authentication. It has all the security, but none of the friction of its legacy predecessors. Attend this webinar to learn what true invisible MFA really is and how you can deploy it in record time and save $28M / year (on average).

What You Will Learn
– The differences between legacy MFA and the latest invisible MFA technology.
– Best practices on how to best evaluate Authentication vendors.
