Third-Party Identity Risk: Closing the Security Gap in External Access

Presented by

Marco Venuti, Business Acceleration Director, IAM, Thales | Jose Caso, Product Marketing Manager, B2B IAM, Thales

About this talk

As organizations grow increasingly reliant on vendors, suppliers, and partners, third-party access to internal systems has become not just common but essential. Yet with this expansion comes a critical blind spot: unmanaged third-party identities. Unlike employees, third parties often fall outside of traditional IAM (Identity & Access Management) strategies, resulting in inconsistent onboarding, unclear ownership, delayed deprovisioning, and fragmented oversight. In this session, we will explore how third-party identity risk emerges, what makes it fundamentally different from workforce IAM challenges, and what practical steps security leaders can take to reduce exposure without creating operational friction. Key takeaways: - Understand where third-party identity risk comes from and why it is often underestimated - Learn how to bring structure and control to third-party access without relying on full-scale governance programs - See how B2B IAM platforms can scale identity controls across partner ecosystems while maintaining visibility and trust
