E29 - Identity Mesh and Identity Fabric / Heliview IAM Conference Review / Cyber + Identity Mashup / People, Process and Technology / IAM Threat Reports

This week Simon and David review the recent Heliview IAM Conference that took place in the Netherlands. The main topic for the day was the rise of the identity fabric (or mesh) and how this can enable the modern organisation with a range of agile IAM components that supports both business and security use cases. Simon presented a keynote on the future of IAM - using some research from The Cyber Hut focusing on where IAM may look like in 2028 and beyond...

They also discussed the need for people, process and technology integration, in order to map the existing IAM landscape to future investment and metrics.

They finish off by discussing the rise in cyber threat reports that have emerged in the past month that all have a very strong reliance on IAM - and why ITDR is a process not a product.
