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 organisations 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 already making us more productive, but the bigger opportunity is unlocking entirely new revenue streams. Greater agent access and autonomy opens up that new potential, but also creates greater risk. See how visibility, control, open standards, and a common Blueprint can help organisations securely unlock what’s possible.
Innovation shouldn’t have to come at the expense of security, but enterprise AI demands a new balance between risk and reward. Pushing for speed opens massive potential, but rushing deployment without oversight leaves defences vulnerable. Join this fireside chat to learn how the right governance framework can break down roadblocks and safely unleash innovation.
