Digital Transformation is one of the most hyped topics and we will look to provide our definition using our Digital Enterprise reference architecture as a framework for the topic and as a roadmap for this conference. We’ll define key considerations for preparing for and maintaining a secure, successful digital enterprise.

TechVision will describe an approach to systematize innovation using reference architecture to help enterprises organize their innovation efforts into continuous, sustainable processes, and provide lessons learned from implementing innovation centers of excellence in large enterprises.

TechVision will describe current and future state technology, core principles, and design patterns that help an enterprise achieve responsive and scalable business function delivery.  We’ll also share a reference architecture to help enterprises envision the elements of and path towards a DevOps approach. We will also highlight the tactical, strategic, and cultural impacts that these changes imply.

In this session, the TechVision team discusses adapting existing enterprise IAM foundations to better support the digital enterprise, including developing a future state strategy that supports new objects (customers, partners, services, “things”), increased scale, and the movement of resources to the cloud. We’ll also set the stage for the rest of this section of the conference.

This session will provide a real-world example architecting and building a new and improved enterprise IAM foundation. We’ll first hear from Sempra Energy as they have, over the past several years evaluated their enterprise IAM infrastructure, collected requirements, built out their overarching IAM reference architecture, conducted an RFP and now are deploying and iterating on their new enterprise IAM services.

experience has become a competitive differentiator in the world of digital enterprises. Today’s increasingly sophisticated consumers now view digital interactions as the primary mechanism for engaging with brands and, consequently, expect deeper online relationships delivered simply and seamlessly. Further, the customers expect some control around how firms collect, store, manage, and share their profile data—and regulatory controls are demanding it.

This panel session will start with key differences between Customer IAM and traditional enterprise identity management. We’ll then discuss different approaches to delivering the digital experience customers expect, how CIAM services support these goals and how this impacts enterprise business. We’ll also get a perspective on trends, customer requirements and development priorities from some of the leading suppliers of CIAM products and services.

This panel session will describe this new approach, assess industry and vendor offerings and address the prerequisites and timing of this nascent approach. We’ll also contrast this model to one in which individuals “rent” IDs for every site they may conduct business with. We’ll look to provide insights to help enterprises better understand what this new environment is, how it benefits the enterprise and when it will be ready for “prime time”.

This panel session describes the key standards, architectural elements, governance models and integration tools and approaches needed to extend/integrate existing services while transitioning the foundation for the future.

A key premise is that organizational silos and traditional security architectures cannot support the business effectively as enterprises adopt cloud-native platforms. To protect business assets in these environments, organizations must establish new methods, capabilities, and instrumentation. Security controls must be both agile and scalable (much like the identity services we discussed on Day 1), providing new capabilities that match this new environment. These new concepts and approaches will be described in this session.

MFA is becoming the standard, while password-less authentication, biometrics and other advances in authentication are being explored in support of the digital enterprise. This session will include a TechVision “level set” and perspectives from selected vendors as to how this landscape will and should change.

In this session we will discuss the trends in using Analytics (AI, ML) to manage application delivery, quality, security, and performance in a dynamic DevSecOps / cloud native environment.

This session will leverage the expertise of legends and the audience to better frame the problems and potential solutions for enterprises and the industry.

These “legends” represent some of the top analysts, thought leaders, consultants, visionaries and practitioners that have unparalleled knowledge and experience in this area.  This panel includes Dr. Fred Cohen; he is widely considered to be one of the leading security/risk experts in the world. He is best known as defining the term “computer virus” in the early 80s and the inventor of the most widely used computer virus defense techniques. Fred also started the security practice at Burton Group. The panel also features Dan Blum, one of the world’s foremost analysts, consultants and thought leaders in the security and identity management areas. The panel also features Nick Nikols who has designed security services, led product teams and served as a top analyst and consultant in this space over the past 30 years. And last but not least, it includes Kurt Lieber the Chief Information Security Officer from Aetna, with prior senior security leadership positions at Target, Kaiser Permanente and Goldman Sachs.
