Our founder Simon Moffatt will be moderating a panel at the Future Identity Festival in London taking place on November 14-15th.
Authentication is the pinch point for all B2E and B2C application, service and website interactions - allowing organisations to deliver secure experiences. However it has its challenges - requiring broad use coverage and inclusivity, privacy by design, adaptive threat protection and future proofing.
Even as many organisations are moving to a "cloud first" strategy for the consumption of new applications and services, the cloud line is blurred. Not all services can be consumed in a pure cloud setting, and not all "clouds" are the same.
Any analysis in the popularity, options or strategy with respect to IAM deployment should be firmly based against a set of basic definitions.
Join our founder Simon Moffatt on September 15th where he will join PlainID on a discussion around external authorization platforms.
The modern digital native enterprise is facing a number of emerging and incumbent challenges - from increased competition and demand for a more agile service deployment model through to needing the ability to share more data to more people, all under a competing climate of increased security threats coupled with a lower risk appetite.
Join our founder Simon Moffatt along with Michael Rothschild VP of Product Marketing at HYPR on August 22nd, where they'll be taking a look at authentication within the global financial services industry.
In this industry fireside chat webinar, Simon and Michael will take a look a the current challenges and opportunities that exist within the financial services industry as it pertains to authentication.
When on briefings and inquiry workshops there are often emerging themes that start to spring up repeatedly. Perhaps every few months, perhaps under different projects, using different terms and stories and perhaps from unexpected people or teams.
There has been one theme over the past 12 months or so that is difficult to ignore: not only how identity based security has left-shifted into the thinking of information leaders to being a first-class citizen in the technology arsenal, but how identity is moving into a new territory. The territory of autonomy.
