Segment 2 - Interview with Dr. Tina Srivastava

The #1 cause of data breaches is stolen credentials. What if we didn’t store credentials anymore? We explore Badge’s innovative approach—which enables users to generate a private key on the fly instead of storing credentials—to enhance security, solve key use cases such as shared devices, and deliver measurable ROI. Additionally, we'll uncover the unavoidable recovery flow challenges, where users must rely on a pre-enrolled recovery device or fallback passwords, and discuss what this means for enterprise security and cost savings. By shifting the paradigm toward ephemeral key generation, Badge eliminates stored credentials, optimizes enterprise cost savings, and future-proofs authentication.

Executive Interview with Saviynt

Evolving compliance needs, overflowing tech stacks, and the ever-increasing number of types of enterprise identities — not to mention the complications resulting from business use of AI — means traditional identity platforms can't keep up with the needs of today's enterprises. Organizations need something smarter: converged, cloud-native and future-ready identity security that scales with enterprises as they grow, addressing their cybersecurity challenges today and in the future. Join us in this episode as we break down the shortcomings of legacy IAM and uncover how an intelligent, identity-centric approach sets enterprises on the path to success.
