We no longer live in a time where it is just about keeping passwords safe; it’s more akin to about safeguarding the keys to the kingdom.

Think about it. Businesses are embracing digital transformation, cloud technologies and remote workforces. The issue with that, however, is the attack surface for identity-based threats has grown exponentially.

Therefore, enterprises must rethink how they manage and secure identities across every level of their organization. Why?

Credential theft is a potent weapon in a hacker’s arsenal – it lets them bypass traditional perimeter defenses and operate with the access of legitimate users. Insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, complicate the landscape even further. Identity governance and zero-trust frameworks are non-negotiable at this point.

The challenge doesn’t end with stopping breaches; it extends to making certain there is frictionless access for legitimate users. Identity management must balance security with usability. Enterprises that master this balance not only mitigate risks but also enable innovation and productivity.

At Enterprise Cybersecurity Expo 2025, thought leaders are coming together to tackle these pressing issues head-on. One panel session, "Identity Management: The First Line of Defense," promises to offer insights into the strategies and tools needed to secure identities in today’s threat landscape.

This panel (featuring John Gunn, CEO of Token, and Vinay Mamidi, CEO of White Swan Security) will explore the challenges and solutions shaping the future of identity security.

Join the two as they dive into real-world scenarios that highlight the vulnerabilities enterprises face (from privilege escalation to insider risks) and share actionable best practices for authentication, authorization and identity governance. Attendees will also gain exclusive insights into the latest advancements in MFA (News - Alert) and zero-trust architectures, and discover how to turn identity management into a competitive advantage.

This session, taking place from 9:00-9:45 AM on Wednesday, February 12, is a call to action for IT leaders, CISOs, and cybersecurity professionals to rethink their approach to identity security. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to equip your organization with the tools to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Be part of the conversation that’s shaping the future of cybersecurity at Enterprise Cybersecurity Expo, February 11-13, at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
