Topic:

Criminals no longer break in—they simply log in.

Your digital identity strategy may be quietly draining revenue, eroding trust, and exposing vulnerabilities you can’t afford. Most organizations capture only 25% of identity’s potential value, leaving billions untapped while treating identity as just another IT burden.

In “Mastering Digital Identity: From Risk to Revenue,” this session reframes identity as your most powerful product. Discover why traditional approaches fail and how the Identity Product Owner framework transforms identity into a profit engine—aligning security, privacy, and customer experience with real business outcomes.

Through breach anatomies, real-world case studies, and proven strategies, you’ll learn how to unlock identity’s full value, energize your workforce, and build lasting customer trust. In today’s digital economy, identity strategy isn’t optional—it’s where competitive advantage begins.
