4. Learn IGA transformation best practices, strategies, and tips from VMware & Walgreens Boots Alliance at these two sessions:

IGA In The Fast Lane: Accelerating the IGA Modernization Journey

Uncertain times are catalysts for change. Some businesses turn inward and shy away from innovation to preserve the status quo. Others adapt and embrace cloud transformation, including operational agility and scalability as means to survive. Central to this is cloud-architected Identity Governance & Administration (IGA). And while the promise of an agile new identity platform is attractive, the prospect of large-scale transition is daunting. But it doesn’t have to be. 

Attend this session to hear how Walgreens Boots Alliance managed its IGA modernization initiative on a global scale – and learn successful strategies, best practices, and advice to accelerate your program.

Speakers: 

  • Saurin Patel, Senior Director, Enterprise Identity Services, Walgreens Boots Alliance
  • Ankit Gupta, Senior Director, Digital Identity Products & Solutions, Persistent

With host Sandipto Banerjee, SVP Products & Solutions, Saviynt

10:30 – 11:15 AM PDT

  • Tim Mooney, Senior Director of Governance and Identity Access Management, VMware
  • Ankan Sharma, Senior Manager – Cybersecurity, Ernst & Young

With host Sean Johnson, Director, Solutions Engineering, Saviynt

5. Discover why we need to rethink privileged access in the cloud era, and how it stops attacks, breaches, and excessive access in their tracks. 

Innovation in Privileged Access in the Cloud: Disrupting The Status Quo

PAM has evolved considerably from its early roots with sudo on Unix/Linux boxes in the ‘80s and password vaults in the 2000s. Many now argue that all access is privileged access and the accelerated adoption of cloud infrastructure and applications exacerbates the challenge of managing standard and privilege access. As many organizations look to implement privileged access controls and Zero Trust in the cloud, how do we get from here to there? 

Attend this session to learn: 

  • The impact of the changing threat landscape and the new tactics hackers are using
  • How privileged & sensitive access needs to evolve for the cloud era
  • Key considerations in implementing Zero Trust
  • Why convergence of IAM + PAM can lead to tighter security and reduced complexity in IT

Speakers:

  • Brandon Nolan, Global Digital Identity Lead, Avanade
  • Krishna Dasari, Managing Director, Digital Identity, Accenture Security

With host Rob McAloon, Director, Cloud PAM, Saviynt

11:30 AM – 12:15 AM PDT
