The identity paradox: Managing cyber risk in the era of AI-driven shadows

Description

In an era where AI can mimic a CEO's voice and automate sophisticated breaches in milliseconds, the traditional boundaries of the corporate network have dissolved. Today, identity is the perimeter. This session brings together leading experts to bridge the gap between high-level risk oversight and the technical evolution of identity and access management (IAM). We will discuss how organizations can build resilient risk frameworks that account for "machine identities," AI-powered social engineering, and the shift toward Zero Trust.

Key discussion points:

The velocity of risk: How AI has shortened the "break-out time" for attackers and what that means for risk assessment.
IAM as risk mitigation: Why robust identity governance is the single most effective lever for reducing a firm’s cyber risk profile.
The AI double-edged sword: Leveraging AI for predictive identity analytics vs. defending against AI-generated credential theft.
