Experts from Microsoft, Google, Amazon Web Services, Okta and Cisco To Discuss the Real World Impact of Zero-Trust Standards

DENVER, June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --The Chief Technology Officer of SGNL, the solution for modern enterprise authorization, will moderate a unique and timely panel this week at Identiverse 2022 in Denver, Colorado, where the identity security community comes together. Executives from Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Okta and Google will join Atul Tulshibagwale, CTO of SGNL and Co-Chair of the OpenID Foundation's Shared Signals and Events Working Group in a critical discussion about their first-hand experiences implementing security in a zero-trust environment, and the standards needed to close the gaps.

"Zero-trust adoption is a critical necessity given the heightened cyber threats environment" said Tulshibagwale. "Open standards are essential for multi-vendor systems to interoperate in order to enable and secure zero-trust access."

The panel entitled "OpenID SSE, CAEP and RISC: Real World Impact of Zero-Trust Standards" will dive into why standards like Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol (CAEP) are important, its use within their organizations and their products and tips and tricks for those who have yet to dive into deployment and adoption of these standards in their professional environments.

"At Cisco, we believe Shared Signals and Events can provide a richness of information that can improve both the efficacy of detection and remediation in Cybersecurity", said Nancy Cam-Winget, a Cisco Fellow and security strategist at Cisco and OpenID Foundation board member. "The adoption of such a standard is required by industry to address the attacks of today and tomorrow."

"The Shared Signals and Events family of specifications have been adopted and proven by leading digital platforms and authorization providers to provide tangible value," said Gail Hodges, Executive Director of the OpenID Foundation. "The panel at Identiverse is the perfect opportunity to engage the wider identity community to start scaling this work across the public and private sectors, just as OpenID Connect and FAPI have scaled over the last 10 years"

The panel will be held on Wednesday June 22, 2022 from 2:55pm - 3:45pm MDT at Identiverse, an in person-only conference at the Gaylord Rockies Resorts in Denver, Colorado. Registration is available at https://identiverse.com.
