AI is transforming how organizations operate, but the real challenge isn’t whether you’ll use AI, it’s whether you can secure it. This panel will explore the enterprise-level risks and responsibilities of AI adoption: governing access, safeguarding sensitive data, and establishing the identity foundation that makes responsible AI possible. The conversation will center on the choices organizations must make today to ensure AI becomes a source of strength rather than a new avenue of risk.

Breakout Track 1: Okta - Identity security fabric in practice: the threads that bring it all together
Identity security isn’t just about point-in-time checks anymore. To defend against modern attacks, organizations need an identity security fabric that weaves together all of their identity tools – from posture management, governance, access management to authentication, risk detection and threat response – into one continuous architecture.
In this session, we’ll showcase the identity security fabric in action, walking through unified security flows and how they weave together identity policies, risk signals, and automated actions across your stack. You’ll learn how this fabric creates resilience, reduces complexity, and establishes identity as your strongest control surface.
Speaker: Aaron Berman, Principal Solutions Architect, Okta
Breakout Track 2: Auth0 - Secure smarter: Identity insights shaping the next wave of digital innovation
Digital expectations are evolving at an unprecedented pace. Customers demand instant, seamless access, personalized experiences, and confidence that their data is protected. At the same time, new technologies like AI are transforming how experiences are built and delivered. In this session, we’ll unpack findings from the Customer Identity Trends Report and show how Auth0 helps developers and product teams “secure smarter” — applying these insights to drive loyalty and design secure, scalable user journeys. We’ll also bring these insights to life with industry sample apps that illustrate what secure, scalable identity looks like in retail, healthcare and financial services.
Attendees will leave with practical guidance for building scalable, secure identity experiences that delight users, build loyalty, and accelerate innovation in the AI era.
