I was invited to speak at the innagural AuthCon, the first Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) conference. During my presentation, I shared real-world insights from my company’s journey to SaaS. I outlined how customer identity and access management needs evolved across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-native environments, and why building or buying the right identity features is critical for security, scalability, and customer satisfaction.

I was fortunate enough to attend several security conferences this year, but BlueHat 2024 stood out for its unique format and insightful sessions. I particularly enjoyed the Cloud & Identity Security track at BlueHat, where I found it refreshing to see a presentation from Microsoft’s perspective, highlighting common challenges faced by all security teams regardless of scale.

SNOWFROC 2010 was well worth it again.
