Over the past 15 years, identity has evolved from a perimeter-based security model with clear boundaries to one that is fluid, flexible, and permeates every aspect of digital business. Simultaneously, AI has infiltrated every enterprise, becoming a double-edged sword for defenders, and fueling fraud attacks across every sector.
In this interview, Ping Identity CEO Andre Durand will walk through the evolution of the identity attack surface, and the opportunity decentralized identity has to dramatically improve both security and experience by putting users in control. He'll also discuss the increasing threats to individuals and businesses, given the influx of AI, and why we should consider this the era of “verify more, trust less.”
