Architecting a More Adaptive and Integrated IAM Strategy
Hosted by Cisco Secure

Ben Jones
CIO
Hello Nature
IAM systems are the digital keys to your company’s castle. But the transition to remote, connect anywhere computing means there are thousands of keys created every day, each one exponentially increasing the risk of unauthorized access through any one of the systems your users access daily. So if identity is now the ultimate perimeter and that perimeter is constantly expanding and becoming more complex, how do you build a defense structure capable of protecting it?
During this peer discussion you will explore:
- The role of zero trust in access management
- How to implement IAM tools without negatively impacting the user experience or core business operations
- How to engage other stakeholders and functions on their access needs to move beyond surface-level coordination

The pandemic not only accelerated the pace of digital transformation— it heightened customer expectations as they now require personalized, intuitive, and immediate experiences in our increasingly digital world. However, this demand also creates a need for secure, performant, and resilient technology.

With this expansion and change, come inherent risks.
