Assembling Access: Custom Authorizations Meets Open Policy Agent at IKEA

Johan Finndahl, Engineering Manager & Access Governanc - Ikea

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.

Identity Management: The European Love Story You Didn’t Know You Needed

Sadrick Widmann, CEO - Cidaas

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.

The Autonomous Identity: A New Frontier in IAM

Bea Khosravi, Identity & Acces Management Specialist - Vattenfall

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, Smarter Choices: Driving Security and Cost-Effectiveness

Sebastian Stauber - Group Security Architect - Assemblin Caverion Group

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
