Identity as the Control Plane: Reducing Risk, Simplifying IT, Preparing for AI
Most organisations have already invested in identity and are using it to improve access and security, but few are realising its full potential as a control point for risk, cost, and operational complexity. As environments become more distributed, AI-driven access to data accelerates, and organic growth and M&A introduce constant change, that gap becomes harder to ignore.
Identity is no longer just an access layer, it is now the control plane for the business. In this session, we’ll show how leading organisations are using it to reduce exposure, simplify and standardise environments post-acquisition, remove unnecessary cost and complexity, strengthen compliance, and secure AI.
