Topic: Safeguarding Digital Identities – A Modern Approach

Abstract: Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a crucial role in securing digital identities and controlling access to critical systems. This presentation will cover fundamental IAM concepts, including Single Sign-On (SSO), Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM). It will also explore emerging trends such as password less authentication, AI-driven security, and decentralized identity solutions. Additionally, I will discuss key cybersecurity challenges like identity theft, MFA fatigue attacks, and insider threats, along with compliance standards such as NIST, GDPR, and PCI . Industry-specific IAM applications and implementation strategies will provide organizations with a roadmap to enhance security, mitigate risks, and ensure compliance in an evolving digital landscape.
