Synopsis

As organizations expand their application portfolios across SaaS, on premises, and legacy systems, governing access consistently and effectively has become a major challenge. Many identity programs struggle not because of a lack of tools, but because a single tool—whether IGA or access management—is expected to solve every governance, automation, and compliance problem.

This session explores a more practical approach to identity governance based on using multiple identity technologies together as an integrated identity fabric. Rather than forcing uniform governance everywhere, attendees will learn how to apply the appropriate level of control based on application risk, cost of non governance, and technical constraints. The talk highlights how overlapping capabilities between IGA and access management can be an advantage when used intentionally, extending governance coverage without increasing complexity or user fatigue.

Participants will leave with a clear framework for prioritizing applications, selecting provisioning strategies, and improving security and auditability across the entire IT estate—by using the right tool for each job.

Synopsis

As organizations race to deploy AI agents across departments, platforms, and workflows, a new challenge is emerging: agent sprawl. The conversation is no longer about how quickly you can build agents, but how effectively you can govern them.

This session explores Microsoft's Agent 365 and the broader shift from AI experimentation to AI operations. Attendees will learn how leading organizations are establishing visibility, ownership, security, and lifecycle management for AI agents before governance becomes a reactive exercise.

We'll examine what Agent 365 delivers today, where its capabilities begin and end, and the operational disciplines required to scale AI safely. From identity and access management to security monitoring, compliance, and continuous oversight, this session provides a practical framework for treating AI agents as managed digital actors rather than isolated automation projects.

Key takeaways:
o Understand the emerging challenge of agent sprawl and shadow AI
o Learn how Agent 365 extends governance across AI agents
o Explore the operating model required to manage agents at scale
o Identify the people, processes, and controls needed to move from AI pilots to enterprise-wide AI operations
o Gain a roadmap for balancing innovation with governance as AI adoption accelerates
o This session is designed for CIOs, CISOs, IT leaders, and technology executives responsible for scaling AI securely across the enterprise.

Synopsis

Please join Atakama for a practical discussion on why Shadow AI has made the browser one of the most significant blind spots in today’s security stack. As employees increasingly use AI tools, SaaS applications, web portals, and cloud-based workflows, sensitive data and business activity are moving directly through the browser session—often without IT or security oversight.

We will examine the emerging threats security teams need to address, including unsanctioned AI usage, SaaS sprawl, risky browser extensions, credential exposure, and browser-based data leakage. Attendees will learn how managed browser security can provide the visibility, governance, and policy enforcement needed to protect users and data while complementing the security tools already in place.

Synopsis

As threats have evolved so too has the approach to Modern Identity Security. A Privilege-Centric approach must be adopted and considered with this evolution. Identity and user management for all accounts within an organization must mature to meet the demands of the cloud, nonhuman identities, Agentic AI and modern attack vectors. Your PAM strategy must now manage and mitigate not only traditional privileged access (root and admin) but also attacks against identities with a path to privileged access.
These paths to privilege still remain one of the most valuable targets for cybercriminals because many organizations are defending their environments with fragmented or siloed security strategies and solutions. Security gaps and risks lie in endpoints, cloud environments, Saas Applications, third-party access and now Agentic AI and NHI which make the battleground even harder to defend.
Identity Security builds on the foundation of defense-in-depth, coupling visibility with least privilege and Zero Trust while addressing critical risks with priority and exposing less-than critical risks for awareness.
Leverage a strategy that works, improves compliance, helps meet cyber insurance mandates, enhances security posture, while giving you the visibility needed to protect your environment.

Synopsis

Enterprises are deploying AI agents faster than they can govern them, creating critical gaps in security. Using real-world examples, this session covers the top risks of agentic AI and introduces a six-pillar governance framework: discovery, identity governance, data security, DLP, behavioral monitoring, and zero standing privilege, showing how Netwrix's unified platform helps organizations deploy AI safely and meet compliance requirements.

Vaibhav leads technical engagements for Veeam-powered immutable storage architectures. In this senior role, I focus on helping organizations eliminate the complexity of ransomware recovery by deploying S3-native, "zero-config" storage solutions.

Synopsis

96% of ransomware attacks target backup data. In the past, having endpoint protection and securing your infrastructure may have been sufficient. Still, today, businesses recognize that security measures will fail, and the threat of ransomware is “when,” not “if”. Ransomware targets backups because bad actors know that if they can take out the possibility of recovery, the ransom is all but guaranteed. Paired with the fact that backup solutions today are often too complex, fragile, and slow to recover, businesses frequently find themselves choosing between a suboptimal recovery option and the risk of paying for a decryption tool that may not even work.

This session shows how to transform your backups from a weak point into your last line of defense against ransomware. Learn how Object First delivers secure, simple, and powerful backup storage purpose-built for Veeam that’s absolutely immutable. With the ultimate ransomware defense, you and your organization become Simply Resilient.

Synopsis

Don’t become a ransomware headline! Secure backup is your best line of defense. Learn how Veeam provides radical resilience by helping you recover your data faster: any data, anywhere you need it, recovered safely and reliably. Flexible recovery options are key to fast recovery from any cyber attack. Access to clean, reliable backups gets you back to business without paying the ransom.

Synopsis

AI adoption is accelerating across every industry — and with it, a growing number of entry points that most security programs weren't designed to protect. Every new AI tool, integration, and workflow your organization deploys expands your attack surface in ways that traditional security controls often can't see, let alone defend.

In this session, Alicia Leone, Security Sales Specialist at TierPoint, cuts through the AI enthusiasm to ask the question every IT leader needs to answer: as your AI strategy grows, is your security posture keeping pace?

Attendees will walk away with a practical framework for evaluating the security implications of their AI investments, understanding where the blind spots typically live, and knowing what a future-ready security program actually looks like in practice regardless of where they are on the maturity curve today.

Christer Swartz is Director of Industry Solutions for Illumio. He has spent many years in the Networking industry, beginning with a small startup called Cisco. Cybersecurity has traditionally focused on prevention, but the reality is that no prevention is 100% perfect, and a cyber breach is inevitable. No one is too small of a target, which means that surviving that inevitable breach, without disrupting your infrastructure, needs to be as strong of a focus as prevention. Surviving a breach requires application-centric visibility across your entire infrastructure, across Data Centers, Clouds, and Endpoints, all of which are tempting entry targets for breaches. A consistent approach to securing lateral access between all resources, at any scale, is required in order to prevent that initial breach from spreading into a crisis. Christer will help explain how.

Synopsis

No Security Prevention architecture will ever be 100% effective. Eventually, even the best-planned barrier will be breached, either from the outside or internally. An “assume breach” Security mindset needs to exist in parallel with efforts to prevent one, and the architecture needs to be able to address breaches which were not detected, and to contain them. Zero Trust needs to plan for the unexpected.
