"Cyber Resilience 2.0: Why Identity Is the New Attack Surface" (ENG)
October 2nd
14:40
Ransomware has taught organizations to protect their data. But attackers have moved on, and today's breaches increasingly start with a compromised identity rather than a compromised backup. In this session, Kristian Salo walks through what cyber resilience means in 2026 and beyond, covering the foundations of data resilience before zooming in on the fastest-growing risk area: identity. He'll explain why identity systems like Active Directory and Entra ID have become prime targets, what makes identity attacks so hard to detect and recover from, and how organizations can extend the same resilience principles they apply to data, visibility, immutability, and fast recovery, to their identity infrastructure. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for assessing their own identity resiliency gaps.
