Welcome Address and Product Display

Jasson Casey, Co-founder & CEO
Jing Gu, Sr. Product Marketing Manager
Louis Marascio, Sr. Product Architect
Sarah Cacchetti, Director of Platform Product

Welcome to BeyondCon! Join our CEO and the Beyond Identity team as we share our product vision and roadmap that doesn’t just address the Identity and Access Management challenges of today, it anticipates and conquers the risks and complexities of tomorrow. This session will outline our strategic platform direction, oriented around our three core product principles – secure by design, simple to administer, and easy to use. Beyond a roadmap, our opening session will present a blueprint for a future where identity is a keystone security component and the foundation of your defense against adversaries. Welcome to the future of identity!

Making Sense of the Identity Puzzle

Sarah Cecchetti: Director of Product Strategy

Sometimes it seems like the topics in IAM innovation are complicated and distinct - device telemetry, phishing resistance, account recovery, fine-grained authorization, zero standing privilege. These topics intersect with a wide range of standards for authentication, authorization, identification, cryptography, and browser APIs. There are so many things for identity professionals to keep track of. The fact is that these puzzle pieces, which appear abstract and disconnected when viewed individually, all combine to create a beautiful, cohesive image. Beyond Identity is working on a future where users don’t need anti-phishing training because they don’t have passwords to be phished. They don’t need to keep track of their own credentials because they don’t have any standing privilege. Employees are free to do what they do best without needing constant vigilance and endless cybersecurity training because they work in an environment that is secure by design. Dean and Sarah will assemble the identity puzzle piece by piece and help you understand how all of these distinct areas of expertise come together to create a more vibrant, secure, and productive future.

ZeroTrust in the Contemporary Cyber World

Sam Curry: Sam Curry, Field CISO, Zscaler

For nearly a decade, ZeroTurst has been bandied about as a marketing term, used and abused by many. As we enter an era of AI-assisted offense, we can no longer default to open and connected standards and IT stacks. Instead, we must embrace ZeroTrust and only enable what the business needs when it needs it in architecting IT services. It’s time for the plumbing to commoditize, for the attack surface to shrink and for fine grained authorization at scale, truly leveraging the power of the connected world, to become the order of the day. This is what will ultimately make the greatest strides in cyber defense, in future readiness and in resilience in a world of accelerating disruption.

In this session, we will cover some basic principles of ZT and current and expected technology disruption and move on to advanced topics in a structured, open discussion format and an AMA session. Bring your ideas, your critical thinking, your tough questions and more. Chatham House Rules apply.

11:00 AM

Fireside Chat with Taher Elgamal

Taher Elgamal, Partner at Evolution Equity

Renowned as the "father of SSL," Dr. Elgamal developed the Secure Sockets Layer protocol, a cornerstone of secure internet communications. With over four decades of experience, including roles as Chief Technology Officer for Security at Salesforce and currently a partner at Evolution Equity Partners, he brings a unique blend of technical expertise and investments that offers invaluable perspectives on the evolving identity security landscape.

10:45 AM

Putting the Four Components of Modern Identity to Work

Ian Glazer: Identity Expert, Weave Identity

The definitions we use to describe identity markets creak with age and no longer serve us well. Meanwhile, our identity infrastructure landscape is only getting more cluttered, making the understanding of what components an enterprise can use in which use cases, harder to achieve. In this talk, Ian Glazer will offer up an alternate way of describing the capabilities of identity infrastructure using the four major components of modern identity: policy, orchestration, execution, and data. He will discuss what these components are, how they fit together, and how different kinds of identity systems provide these components. He will talk about how to use these components to evaluate your identity landscape to better bring to bear the right tools for the jobs ahead.

1:30 PM

The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse, Cyber

Chase Cunningham: Dr. Zero Trust

In the realm of national security and global stability, the traditional four horsemen of the apocalypse—war, famine, pestilence, and death—have long been harbingers of chaos. Now, a new and formidable adversary has emerged: Cyber.

The rise of Cyber as a game-changer in global security.
State-sponsored cyber warfare and sophisticated cybercriminal networks.
The borderless nature of cyber threats and their potential to destabilize nations and disrupt economies.
The fundamental struggle to preserve our way of life in the face of cyber threats.

Join Chase as he delves into the unprecedented implications of Cyber as the fifth horseman of the apocalypse and explores the urgent need for collective action to mitigate its devastating impact on our world.

4:00 PM
