Identity at the Center of a Zero Trust Network: Taking a Governance-Based Approach to Security

Securing today’s complex application and data ecosystem possess a significant challenge for organisations large and small. The repeated success of the adversary has clearly proven that we must take a different approach if we are to change this trajectory.

“Adopting a Zero Trust Approach” has become the new buzz word is security architecture. Building systems that take a user-centric approach is now the norm and deploying a security model that puts strong authentication, authorisation and governance at the center is considered by many a basic best practice.

In this session, SailPoint’s Cyber Security Technical Advisor Mikael Wikstrom will explain in simple terms how to take a Zero Trust Approach to security, and how to put identity governance at the center of your security architecture. Drawing from over 30 years of experience in the Cyber Security software industry, Mikael will highlight the importance of strong identity management architecture and will detail how to avoid common pitfalls when first taking an identity-centric approach.
