Programme

We warmly welcome you to 3Arena, Stockholm.

Coffee and tea will be ready for you!

In this session, we will explore the critical intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and impact on cybersecurity. You’ll gain insights into what AI Security entails, the Security AI Framework, and the various AI Security models shaping today’s landscape. We will examine the key threats and risks associated with AI, and discuss practical strategies to mitigate these challenges through robust security capabilities. We’ll also examine how AI Security reshapes Identity and Access Management (IAM), and what steps organizations can take to stay resilient in this rapidly changing security landscape.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the fundamentals of AI Security and why it matters.
• Learn about the Security AI Framework and AI Security models.
• Identify common threats and risks in AI systems.
• Discover mitigation strategies and security capabilities to safeguard AI.
• Explore the impact of AI Security on IAM and how to adapt your identity strategy.

At IKEA, we’ve built a custom authorization service designed to meet the complex and evolving access control needs of a global organization. Now, we’re taking the next step by augmenting this foundation with Open Policy Agent (OPA) to unlock the full potential of policy-based access control and fine-grained authorization.

The session shares how IKEA is evolving its approach to authorization, moving from traditional role-based models toward policies. We’ll explore the motivations behind adopting OPA, the integration journey so far, and how this shift is helping us improve scalability, flexibility, and developer experience.

Attendees will gain insights into the architectural principles guiding our transition, the challenges we’re tackling, and the vision where the right people have the right access at the right time for the right reasons. Whether you’re exploring authorisation services or looking to modernize your access control strategy, this session offers practical perspectives from IKEA’s journey.

Every great love story has a twist — and in Europe’s pursuit of digital sovereignty, the unexpected hero is Identity & Access Management (IAM). Sovereignty isn’t just about data location or control; it’s about who defines trust in your digital ecosystem. While companies focus on features, scalability, and UX, they often overlook the heart of it all: identity.

This session explores why IAM is not just a tool but the foundation of security, trust, and resilience. In the era of digital sovereignty, IAM becomes the beating heart of innovation — and the start of a true digital love story.

AI agents are no longer just a futuristic concept—they are becoming a key part of our digital ecosystem. As these autonomous actors gain access to critical systems, they introduce a new level of complexity to our security landscape. This session explores the emerging challenges of managing and securing AI agents as first-class identities. We will discuss how traditional IAM frameworks must adapt to this new reality.

​We’ll cover core topics for this agent-driven future, including:

• ​Establishing Identity: How to create a verifiable and secure identity for an AI agent.
• Dynamic Access: Moving beyond static roles to grant “just-in-time” access based on an agent’s real-time needs.
• ​Trust and Delegation: Understanding the complex chain of trust when an AI agent acts on behalf of a human or another system.

Key Takeaways:

• ​Learn why AI agents require a fundamentally new approach to IAM.
• Discover how existing principles like Zero Trust can be applied to this new class of identities.
• ​Get a glimpse into the future of IAM and the strategies needed to secure a world where machines make their own decisions.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a cornerstone of modern enterprise security, but successful implementation requires more than deploying a tool.

This session explores how to communicate PAM’s business value to leadership, its critical role in a zero-trust strategy, and practical approaches to requirements engineering. Attendees will also gain insights into selecting the most cost-effective PAM solution for their organization’s use cases, while avoiding common pitfalls in adoption and integration.

The talk will further highlight how combining PAM with Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) enhances privileged access governance, ensuring stronger oversight and compliance.

Third party access is no longer a side concern. It is a core enabler of enterprise growth. Yet most organizations still rely on siloed tools and manual processes that introduce risk, slow onboarding, and frustrate partners.

This session explores how modern B2B identity strategies such as delegated administration, dynamic orchestration, and hierarchical organization modeling are helping enterprises reduce risk, improve compliance, and accelerate partner-driven revenue. Learn how to shift third party access from a liability to a comp

Successful IGA transformation isn’t about enforcing requirements—it’s about enabling a new way of working. Governance at scale means embedding identity into the fabric of digital transformation, ensuring agility and resilience. This session explores how shifting from legacy thinking to modern, cloud-first governance unlocks innovation and trust.

Mindset Shift Talking Points:

• Why governance must evolve from “control” to “enablement”.
• Breaking silos: Identity as a shared business responsibility.
• Building executive buy-in through measurable business outcomes.
• Cultural change: moving from “IT-driven” to “business-led” transformation.

Swedbank’s Head of Identity & Access Management, Pär Kidman, shares how the bank reframed IAM as a strategic enabler. By focusing on governance, stakeholder collaboration, and aligning identity security with business priorities, Swedbank reduced risk, strengthened compliance, and improved the overall business experience.

Anchored in regulatory requirements, threat mitigation, and multi‑cloud adoption, this identity‑centric approach demonstrated clear business value and secured organizational buy‑in. Participants will gain practical insights into how IAM can mature into a transparent, scalable model directly linked to organizational goals.
