Zero trust is more than a technology framework — it's a cultural shift. In this opening keynote, Jordan Reyes shares the leadership strategies, organizational change management tactics, and hard-won lessons from Meridian's enterprise-wide zero trust transformation. Attendees will walk away with a practical blueprint for aligning executive stakeholders, security teams, and end users around a unified identity-first security posture.
AI is reshaping how organizations connect with customers, employees, and systems. But without identity at the core, this AI-powered future can't be securely built. Join fellow IT, security, and product professionals to explore the next chapter of identity and AI. You'll gain actionable insights, see the latest innovations, and connect with peers navigating the same complex challenges.
- Secure AI with identity: Learn how to turn identity from a security concern into a competitive advantage.
- Identity security fabric: See how continuous, proactive protection works across the user lifecycle.
- Frictionless AI experiences: Build scalable, secure logins for humans and AI agents.
- AI journey insights: Hear how customers and partners are navigating the latest trends and challenges.
AI is no longer optional; it's transforming how we build products, empower teams, and meet customer expectations. But adoption isn't straightforward. Organizations face a critical tension: move fast to stay competitive, or move carefully to ensure security and responsible deployment.
This panel will feature a discussion with tech executives on the realities of AI adoption. You'll hear how leaders are navigating two critical frontiers: using AI internally to boost engineering productivity and integrating AI-powered features into customer-facing products — all while keeping autonomous agents secure.
Expect candid insights on real-world challenges, the gap between AI hype and practical implementation, organizational barriers to adoption, and how to build AI that's both responsible and secure.
