About this talk
Most organizations still struggle to answer one of the most important security questions: who actually has access to what? Yet identity remains the primary attack surface in modern environments.
In this session, Bill Willis, CTO and Head of Advisory at IDMWORKS, introduces the Identity 4.0 framework: a practical approach to connecting identity governance, privileged access, and real-time risk visibility into a unified program aligned to executive priorities.
You’ll learn how to align identity visibility with enterprise risk management, modernize governance programs to reduce complexity and audit exposure, and help leadership proactively shrink the organization’s attack surface. The result is an identity strategy that moves beyond compliance reporting and supports measurable security outcomes across the business.
