This expert panel explores a central shift in cybersecurity: the traditional network perimeter is no longer the primary boundary of trust.
Speaker
Ulf Mattsson
Synopsis
As organisations adopt hybrid cloud, SaaS platforms, federated identity, privileged automation, and AI agents, identity has become the new control plane for security, governance, and resilience.
The discussion will examine how enterprises can reduce identity-driven risk, govern human and non-human identities, strengthen privileged access controls, and respond quickly when trust is compromised.
The panel will emphasise that identity has become the primary security boundary for modern enterprises.
As organisations expand across hybrid cloud, SaaS, federated identity systems, privileged automation, and AI agents, security teams must govern both human and non-human identities with the same rigour once reserved for network controls.
The discussion will focus on reducing identity-driven breach risk through stronger governance, measurable privileged-access controls, continuous verification, improved telemetry, and faster response when authority is compromised.
Our expert panel will cover:
- Identity as the New Perimeter.
- Non-Human & AI Agent Identities.
- Service Accounts, PAM & Privilege Abuse.
- Federated Identity & Conditional Access.
- Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR).
- Case Studies.
- Additional panel questions.
- Key takeaways and practical actions the audience can implement immediately.
