Speakers will explore trending digital credential topics, including how to balance security and convenience and what standards are doing to drive increased ubiquity and interoperability across solutions.
First-day keynotes are:
- 12 Ways to Hack Around 2FA – Roger Grimes, computer security columnist, author, and data-driven defense evangelist, KnowBe4
Digital identity verification and authentication methods are constantly evolving in the search for a secure solution. Most people know that using 2FA is more secure than using a single-factor authentication solution like a logon name and password, but most people don't know how easy it is to hack 2FA. This keynote will cover how 2FA solutions are hacked and how to pick and defend 2FA solutions for the best protection possible based on Grimes’s experience of more than 30 years practicing, publishing books and writing for leading publications like InfoWorld and CSO magazines. - When Black Swans Become Geese - Avoidable Pitfalls in the Path to Digital Identification – Richard Parry, principal, Parry Advisory
The demand for security is in constant tension with the demand for convenience. It can be argued that convenience always prevails because inconvenience is easily trumped by shareholder value. While recognizing pressing demands on identity ecosystems in the digital world are creating challenging choices about trusting digital identities, Parry will draw on a lifetime of firsthand experience in law enforcement, transaction processing and banking risk management to frame some of the contingent risks that future technology must address to avoid turning black swans into geese.
