Identity-related attacks are now the dominant threat vector in cybersecurity, yet most organizations remain hindered by fragmented tools, siloed data, and disconnected teams. “Multiplayer AI” offers a new model for identity security, emphasizing interoperability between human experts and AI agents to create a unified, real-time system of systems. By fostering collaboration through open standards and shared intelligence, enterprises can close security gaps, reduce attacker dwell time, and respond faster—transforming identity security from isolated defense into coordinated resilience. https://www.radiantlogic.com/blog/the-dentity-security-paradox-when-more-tools-create-bigger-blind-spots/ This segment is sponsored by Radiant Logic.

In this era of technological advancements where businesses are going digital and more cloud based while preferring remote work environment, cyber threats are surprising growing at the rate never seen before. This makes Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) no more an optional thing but a core crucial requirement. These are not just IT tools anymore- they are important for the security of people, data, and operations. More and more organizations from different industries are now turning to IAM and PAM as managed services to handle the growing complexity of access control and cybersecurity. Why? Because managing identity internally is becoming harder, more expensive, and riskier. With a trusted managed service partner, businesses gain expert support, 24/7 monitoring, scalability, and peace of mind—all while staying compliant and secure. This segment will explore how IAM and PAM managed services are helping companies reduce risk, simplify operations, and stay ahead of evolving security challenges. Whether you're an IT leader, security professional, or business decision-maker, you’ll learn why outsourcing identity and access management is quickly becoming a smart, strategic move for the modern enterprise https://www.idmexpress.com/blogs https://www.idmexpress.com/post/cyberark-privileged-access-management-pam-implementation https://www.idmexpress.com/iam-products This segment is sponsored by IDMEXPRESS.
