Managing identities continues to add complexity for granting access to enterprise resources. Between the increasing number and expanding types of identities, including carbon-based, silicon-based, and artificial identities, and the evolution of cloud computing and remote work, managing the perimeter is now an identity problem. What risks do each of these identity types pose and how do you mitigate them?
Jeff Reich, Executive Director at Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA), joins us to discuss the challenges of digital identities, how to discover risk with digital identities, and how best to mitigate those risks.

Having direct visibility into your access data is crucial for two reasons: 1. Simplifying audit preparation and 2. Managing progress of your identity program to ensure peak performance. Internal auditors and compliance managers need easy access to granular data points to understand and demonstrate compliance to external agencies. Gaining access to real time data creates a great deal of autonomy for audit and identity teams to be able to delve deep into their identity programs and prove compliance. However, making the data available even internally can put organizations at risk for data leaks and data policy violations. Erik will outline how companies can gain access to their current identity search and dashboard data and be able to query in their preferred BI tool based on their own data privacy policies and business needs, significantly reducing risk.

We go deep on LLMs and generative AIs to shine a light on areas that security leaders should focus on. There are technical concerns like prompt injection and access controls, and privacy concerns in training and usage. But there are also areas where security tools are starting to address these concerns as well as areas where security tools are adopting AI themselves. We'll share where we see AI showing promise, as well as where we suspect it's still premature.
