Most IGA platforms were built for a world that no longer exists — one where access lived inside a single system and compliance meant annual reviews. Today, identity risks span multiple applications, evolve constantly, and require automation at every step.

Modernized IGA delivers what traditional tools can’t: unified visibility, continuous control, and real-time enforcement across SAP, Oracle, Workday, Salesforce, and beyond. This session is designed for two audiences, those already using IGA but struggling with blind spots between systems, and those planning their first deployment who want to start with a modern, automated approach from day one.
 
Here are the five capabilities redefining IGA today:

- Cross-application risk correlation that uncovers hidden SoD conflicts across connected systems
- Continuous, policy-driven access reviews triggered instantly when risk or role changes
- Preventive SoD enforcement built directly into provisioning workflows
- Context-aware access recommendations that accelerate onboarding while reducing over-entitlement
- Unified analytics and audit-ready reporting delivering real-time visibility and compliance assurance

Join this session to discover how modernized IGA replaces manual effort with automation, eliminates governance gaps, and helps organizations stay continuously secure and compliant.

The Business Agility Paradox 
In today's volatile business environment, organizations face an inherent tension between operational agility and regulatory compliance. Standard business processes are governed by established controls, approval workflows, and business policies.  Exceptional circumstances—such as an urgent HR event, supply chain disruption, troubleshooting a system issue, or a procurement crisis  — often require immediate action that need to circumvent traditional safeguards. These transactions, though critical for business continuity, can create significant risks. And if these risks are not managed properly, you can be subjected costly remediation efforts, regulatory penalties, and stakeholder confidence issues.

How leading organizations are implementing business privileged access management (PAM) solutions that provides guard rails for emergency activities and an immutable audit record of the events that occurred.   

Key Takeaways Include: 
- Understand processes for fire fighting that enables structured exception handling, monitoring and review as part of an existing governance paradigm 
- Business PAM implementation strategies that enable rapid response without compromising audit integrity 
- Technology solutions for maintaining complete visibility and control during urgent business scenarios 

Who Should Attend: 
CFOs, Controllers, Compliance Officers, Internal Auditors, IT Security Leaders, and Risk Management professionals responsible for balancing business agility with regulatory compliance requirements.

The Million Dollar Blindspot - Business Privileged Access Management for Non-Routine Transactions

In today’s increasingly decentralized IT environments, organizations are facing a modern identity crisis—one where traditional perimeter-based security is no longer effective, and identity has become the new attack surface. As cloud adoption, remote work, and third-party access proliferate, the risk of overprivileged users, identity sprawl, and unauthorized access to sensitive data continues to grow.

This webinar explores how Zero Trust principles—rooted in continuous verification and least privilege access—can help organizations regain control. By implementing fine-grained Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategies, security teams can reduce risk, enforce policy consistently across hybrid environments, and protect critical assets from identity-based threats.

In this CPE accredited session, attendees will learn:

- How identity has become the new perimeter—and why that changes everything about data protection
- What defines fine-grained access control and how it supports a Zero Trust architecture
- Strategies for reducing the attack surface by addressing identity sprawl and privilege creep
- How to implement a Zero Trust model that scales across users, devices, and sensitive data environments
