In today's digital landscape, traditional password-based authentication is increasingly challenged by the need for more secure, efficient, and user-friendly methods. The shift towards passwordless authentication is reshaping how users interact with digital services, promising enhanced security and improved user experiences across various sectors.

Modern technology offers innovative solutions to implement passwordless authentication comprehensively. By leveraging biometrics, passkeys, hardware tokens, and behavioral analytics, organizations can create a seamless and secure authentication process that spans across different user groups, including consumers, employees, and partners.

Alejandro Leal, Research Analyst at KuppingerCole, will explore the technological advancements and market dynamics driving this significant shift. He will offer practical insights into deploying passwordless solutions and examine the challenges associated with traditional authentication methods.

Haider Iqbal, Director of Product Marketing for Identity & Access Management at Thales, will present Thales' new approach that allows organizations to use one solution provider to meet all their authentication needs. He will demonstrate how this 360° approach can be implemented across customers, workforce, business customers, partners, and suppliers' ecosystems.

Join Identity Management experts from KuppingerCole Analysts and Thales as they discuss how best to tackle the complexities of an increasingly interconnected B2B digital ecosystem, and overcome the operational inefficiencies, security risks, high admin costs, and poor user experiences associated with homegrown legacy IAM systems and solutions tailored to B2E IAM requirements.

Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, will look at the drivers and challenges of B2B Identity Management in an age of Work from Anywhere (WfA), and give his perspective on the special requirements for B2B Identity Management compared with B2E/workforce IAM and CIAM (Customer & Consumer IAM).

Marco Venuti, IAM Business Acceleration Director at Thales will detail a cost-effective and efficient approach to dealing with the complex demands of modern B2B and B2B2C Identity Management. He will describe how to meet the demands of digital-first businesses with the right level of automation.

2020 has been the year of dispersed workforces and working environments. The impact on existing infrastructure, strategies and legacy technology has been unprecedented. As a result, we embarked on a revolution for Identity & Access Management and a mind-set change for organizations big and small, global or local. Never before has IAM been more present and upfront. In this new world, trusted identities need to be the starting point for all organizational strategies and driving organizational change.

The relentless move towards the digital transformation seems unstoppable. Organizations must secure their trust and reputation in the face of increasing attacks, advances in technology, increased regulation and compliance, and the continued shift to the cloud and cloud services. Unfortunately, not a single week goes by without another large-scale data breach or leak reported by the media – it seems that a company of any size or industry can fall victim to insufficient or ineffective data protection controls.

Today’s economy is clearly driven by data. The most successful companies are those that can use this data to create useful information that enables them to get closer to their customers, to create new products and be more efficient. Cloud services are a key enabler in this, they allow the capture, storage, and exploitation of vast amounts of data without the need for capital expenditure. They enable the rapid development and deployment of new applications as well as the modernization of existing one.
