Duration:25 minutes
Abstract:
Speaker: Maxine Most, David Harding
Yes, we can all see the digital identity transformation taking place before our eyes. Those of us in tech, with a front-row seat. And yet, every day we continue to rely on passwords and pin codes. Even as they sit underneath tokens or biometrics accessed via our smartphones or laptops.
Consensus is coalescing around what the general user experience of a truly identity centric technological ecosystem ought to be – intuitive and friendly, task appropriate levels of friction, user control and ownership of PII. So, the questions hanging in the ether … When will passwords truly die? Or when will digital identity become the organizing principle of IT infrastructure not the vision of the future?
Join us for a dialogue between two digital identity pros that have been having this conversation over coffee and drinks for the better part of a decade. We will use this conversational format to evaluate the state of the market and the practical realities of implementing the digital identity revolution as we discuss and debate the following:

Join us for a dialogue between two digital identity pros that have been having this conversation over coffee and drinks for the better part of a decade. We will use this conversational format to evaluate the state of the market and the practical realities of implementing the digital identity revolution as we discuss and debate the following:
- Where are we in the journey towards truly identity centric IT i.e. killing passwords one and for all?
- What are the technological, societal, and regulatory requirements & roadblocks?
- What technology and solutions can we leverage? Which need to be abandoned? What new the pieces are needed?
- Is anybody close to doing Digital Identity right, today?
- What must we do in what timeframe to deliver on the promise s of Digital Identity – e.g. intuitive and friendly, task appropriate levels of friction, user control and ownership of PII.?
