In an era where AI can convincingly mimic voices, faces, and behaviors, traditional trust signals in digital collaboration are no longer reliable. This session explores how enterprise IT leaders can secure collaboration environments against AI-driven impersonation and identity fraud. From federated identity models to password-less authentication and privileged access management, we’ll unpack the strategies that protect your workforce, partners, and data — even when the device or face on the screen can’t be trusted.

Protect Your Municipality with the Modern Workplace and a Zero Trust Security Strategy
The risks of cyberattacks are escalating, making it clear that traditional workplace tools and security practices are no longer sufficient. Municipalities, healthcare, and education have faced relentless attacks, including crypto mining, phishing, ransomware, trojans, and command-and-control breaches. The pressing challenge for technology leaders is to develop robust defences against these threats. Scott will explore next-generation tools and strategies that empower the modern workplace and cybersecurity teams with the advanced security capabilities necessary to protect modern IT environments. We will discuss the importance of aligning with industry-specific compliance standards, including GO-ITS 25.0, which can enhance security and build trust with stakeholders.
