Beyond Passwords — Securing Digital Trust Through Modern Identity and Privileged Access
Event Details
Date: 21 May 2026 (Thursday)
Time: 9.30am – 11.30am
Venue: BlackBerry Cybersecurity Centre of Excellence (CCoE), Cyberjaya
Event Overview
As organizations accelerate digital transformation, identity has become the new security perimeter. Traditional passwords and unmanaged privileged accounts are no longer sufficient to protect against modern cyber threats, fraud, and identity-based attacks.
This tech talk explores how organizations can strengthen their Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategy by addressing two critical areas: passwordless authentication and Privileged Access Management (PAM). Participants will gain practical insights into how modern authentication standards and privileged access controls work together to safeguard digital trust, enhance security posture, and support zero-trust initiatives.
