Secure by Design: Protecting Your ERP Modernization Roadmap    
ERP modernization initiatives, from cloud migrations, platform upgrades, process transformation, to application modernization, are reshaping how organizations operate yet also introduce new security, identity, and compliance challenges. Security can't be treated as a downstream activity; it must be built into the transformation strategy from the start.

Identity Risk at an Inflection Point: Introducing Application Identity Security    Identity risk is at an inflection point. AI agents, non-human identities, business applications, SaaS platforms, cloud infrastructure, and increasingly connected business processes have fundamentally changed how identities are created, granted access, and interact across the enterprise. Yet most organizations still rely on fragmented identity security approaches designed for a different era.

As enterprises expand across business applications, SaaS platforms, and cloud infrastructure, identity security itself is converging. This shift is giving rise to a new category built for the realities of the modern enterprise. In this session, we'll introduce Application Identity Security (AIS) and explore how a unified approach to continuously understanding, governing, and securing every identity can replace today's fragmented identity security strategies.

Join us to discover why leading organizations are embracing Application Identity Security to continuously reduce identity risk, strengthen governance and compliance, and give the business the confidence to accelerate AI transformation across the enterprise.
