Identity and Access Management Industry Leaders and Visionaries

The keynote of Day 2 was delivered by Frank Gillett, VP & Principal Analyst Serving CIOs, Forrester. He explained how data from the digital self and IoT-connected products will offer companies a wide range of new ways to engage with customers throughout the day that will transform product offerings and enable disruptive new business models.
While he had a focus on the Internet of Things (IoT), one thing became clear: Digital identity is at the center of everything!

Switching gears from product updates to the industry’s need for privacy protection, Michelle Finneran Dennedy, Vice President at Intel Security and Adjunct Faculty Instructor at INI at Carnegie Mellon University called out for new privacy requirements and specifications to engineer better and more objectively respectful data-centric systems that use identity as a critical tool. She did not use any slides but read some parts from her great book.
