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 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.
As AI reshapes employee productivity, securing human employees, non-human agents, and multi-vendor SaaS ecosystems is crucial. Following our keynote on the Blueprint Alliance, this panel brings together IT and security leaders from across sectors to share how they are turning AI strategy into execution.
Join Ramsay Health, Heidi Health and Mantel Group for a practical discussion on evaluating AI tools, managing non-human access, and leveraging open identity ecosystems to balance security with a seamless employee experience.
Building Trust Into Growth: How Pepperstone Leveraged Identity Posture Management to Accelerate Competitive Advantage
In competitive highly regulated markets, identity governance is often viewed as a compliance necessity that slows deployment velocity. But Pepperstone took a different approach: they recognized that continuous identity posture visibility could become a business accelerator, not a blocker. Hear how they deployed proactive identity posture management to gain real-time insight into their identity health, eliminate configuration drift, and automate access governance at scale. The result? A unified view of who has access to what, automated remediation of posture gaps, and Just-In-Time access policies that enabled faster, safer deployments.
Learn how treating identity posture as a strategic business capability—rather than a compliance checkbox—allowed Pepperstone to scale their engineering velocity while maintaining a continuously hardened security baseline, turning identity governance from potential friction into a genuine competitive advantage.
