Identity has become the fault line of modern cybersecurity. Every breach, compliance penalty, or breakdown in digital trust can be traced back to a single question: who has access, and should they? As organisations accelerate digital transformation and adopt AI at scale, the challenge of securing identities, whether they belong to employees, customers, or machines, has never been more urgent.
The NKST IAM Summit, taking place on January 28 in Toronto, brings the issue to the forefront for the C-suite and security leaders who carry the responsibility of balancing protection, compliance, and business agility. The event is built around the real problems executives face daily: sprawling access privileges, non-human “digital ghosts,” and regulatory demands that evolve faster than technology can catch up.
Through visionary keynotes, practical case studies, and peer-to-peer exchanges, the Summit doesn’t just dissect these challenges, it points to actionable solutions. From autonomous identity systems to decentralised trust frameworks, leaders will explore how identity is no longer a back-office IT function, but the core enabler of digital business resilience.
Tackling fragmented governance models that create compliance risks and slow down transformation.
Balancing seamless user experience with airtight security in a world where every login is a potential breach.
Building trust with customers by ensuring their identities are legitimate, protected, and friction-free.
Strengthening resilience with multi-layered approaches to least privilege and insider threat reduction.
Managing digital “ghosts” and securing machine, API, and bot identities in AI-driven ecosystems.
