Agenda

Welcome guests to day one of the 4th Annual Identity Governance Forum.

Securing the Department of Defense supply chain is the long-term objective for their Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification program. In this opening keynote, DoD's Chief Information Security Officer for Acquisition and Sustainment will cover the interim rule companies need to follow to be considered for award, the number of CMMC assessments DoD plans to complete through fiscal year 2025, the process for submitting scores through their Supplier Performance Risk System, pilot programs underway, and the Department's projected plan for CMMC roll-out.

Identity governance is critical to today’s digital and virtual workplace. Yet in this rush to digitize and virtualize, not every organization faced a seamless (and secure) transition. This shift required identity governance to be the foundation of their security architecture to act quickly, confidently, and securely. In this session, Mark McClain, CEO and Co-founder will discuss why identity is mission essential to CIOs and CISOs everywhere.

IAM technologies trends are heavily influenced by technology trends in the broader IT market. Industry experts identified hyper-automation (the end to end automation of business operations powered by AI/ML) as the number one IT trend for 2020. It is, therefore, no surprise that autonomous, self-driving IAM is the next big trend in IAM. In this session, Lori Robinson will explore current IT trends and how they are impacting the IAM space. She will also share her picks for the top 5 IAM trends of 2021.

The Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies continue to adopt continuous identity governance in order to streamline operations and improve security. But what sorts of unique challenges have they encountered over the last year, and what solutions are they working on for the present and future? This session will explore how a continuous identity strategy in turn boosts the continuous governance mission at the DoD and in civilian agencies.

As government agencies move to modernize identity to support digital transformation and adapt to new missions (in accordance with OMB's M-19-17 ICAM Modernization Strategy), they must look across their complete portfolio of identity tools. This session will look at how Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI and ML) and Identity Proofing increase efficiency, accuracy, and effectiveness -- ensuring all users have the right access, to the right systems, and the right data. We'll also discuss what state-of-the-art looks like in the area of augmented/autonomous identity and best practices for marrying identity to the security ecosystem for device identities and threat intelligence.

The Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community have taken significant steps toward better identity governance during the past several years -- as classified data has become a bigger target and DoD/IC agencies have put more emphasis on moving data into the cloud. They've realized leveraging identity profiles in the modern age is about more than enterprise applications and mission systems. This in-depth session will cover topics like the importance of identity to the DoD/IC, enabling secure access, successful use of profile and data sources, establishing suitability for access, and enabling access controls across departments.

Welcome guests to day two of the 4th Annual Identity Governance Forum.

For many years, the IAM market have been divided into four distinct swim lanes: identity management (IM), access management (AM), privileged access management (PAM) and consumer IAM (CIAM). Today, however, IAM use cases are increasing in complexity and the lines between these technologies are blurring. In this session, Lori Robinson will explore the intersections between IM, AM, PAM and CIAM and help you answer the increasingly difficult question: Which technology should I apply to which user case? She will also discuss the important role of identity governance in your IAM toolbox.

In most cases, government agencies are still on legacy identity access and management systems. Those systems are coming to end-of-life and agencies may not have seen the value return they were promised. This session will cover how modern solutions will not only protect your organization but enable larger digital transformation efforts.

United States government agencies are unique cloud users, given crucial security requirements and myriad data sets. As departments transition their identity governance to the cloud, how are they maintaining security while improving data capabilities? What operational challenges have government agencies encountered in their migration to the government cloud, and how can improved protocols help to ameliorate such challenges? This session will explore the status of the government cloud and consider what gov cloud operations might look like in 5 or 10 years.

Chris Carpenter was only a month on the job when Lockheed Martin -- the largest federal contractor in the nation -- asked him to do an enterprise provisioning of Slack. This session will cover what it took to do that, what his team had to work with, and the custom work they had execute do to get it going.

Integrating identity and security technologies to address a specific requirement is just one piece of the modern cybersecurity puzzle. Broader initiatives, like Zero Trust and Insider Threat, also require an identity-centric approach to ensure security and an optimal user experience. The identity-centric security approach provides real time, intelligence-based access to data and applications by integrating IAM infrastructure with enterprise cyber security technologies. As Identity has finally transitioned from operational and user experience driven, to being recognized as the core of security. Organizations often struggle to make sense of complex security technologies and hunger for new approaches to solve complex identity security challenges, improve overall security and extract value out of existing investments. This panel of industry leading vendors provides the framework and practical guidance that helps organizations put identity at the center of their security strategy, optimizing cyber security investments, while controlling risk as IT infrastructures converge.

Welcome guests to day three of the 4th Annual Identity Governance Forum.

As enterprises adopt a multi-cloud platform strategy to keep pace with digital transformation efforts, there is a heightened need to be able to govern access to these platforms with a single identity solution. Simultaneously, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are accelerating the pace of innovation – allowing organizations to do business faster and better. But that process needs to identify and recommend who should have access to what, why they should have access to it, and enable auto-approval for low-risk access. This session will detail the “state-of-the-art” for Predictive Identity Services including topics like 1) Identity governance for IaaS and SaaS platforms, 2) Best practices for leveraging AI and ML to make identity governance more manageable, and 3) The impact those efforts will have on security and efficiency.

This panel will discuss the cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities of present day, and how identity governance and cloud governance can play important roles in shoring up cloud infrastructure against such threats.

In many government organizations, contracts are some of the hardest resources to govern. Their onboarding is delayed through suitability or clearance processes. They roll on and off projects daily. Many agencies have no single source of the truth for their information and require highly privileged access to systems. Moreover, they are regularly assigned to multiple contracts and have multiple contracting offers for approvals. Without a strategic plan, contractor onboarding can quickly get out of control. This session will share best practices for integrating with your procurement systems, managing contractors supporting multiple projects, automating notifications and processes to accelerate contractor onboarding, increasing productivity across the agency, and reducing delays due to changing resources and data.

There is a new sheriff in the town of governance. This session will focus on the vision and current application of AI/ML technology to address the challenges of traditional IGA programs. A deep dive into SailPoint Predictive Identity™ will demonstrate the current trajectory towards autonomous identity and how it is enabling organizations to become more dynamic and secure.

The concept of Assured Identity relies on establishing and continuously validating a digital identity. The end goal: Drive anonymity out of the network. This approach requires the assigning of attributes to that identity and binding it to an individual or a trusted device. This session will examine some of the key areas in government's evolution to Assured Identity and where it fits in a zero trust framework.
