We all might be a little worn out on this topic, but there's no escaping it. Executives want to adopt GenAI and it is being embedded into nearly every software product we use in both our professional and personal lives. In this interview, Anurag joins us to discuss how his company evaluated and ultimately integrated AI-based technologies into their products. We discuss:

• What to be aware of when deploying GenAI
• Key use cases and successes organizations are having with GenAI
• Some of the risks to be aware of
• How to prepare employees for GenAI
• Best practices to prepare for evolving threats

OAuth 2.0 is more than just a single spec and it's used to protect more than just APIs. We talk about challenges in maintaining a spec over a decade of changing technologies and new threat models. Not only can OAuth be challenging to secure by default, but it's not even always inter-operable.

In the age of AI, driving a business forward requires balancing three very significant considerations: growth through innovation, productivity through operational efficiency, and trust through security. To better understand how AI impacts the intersection of security, innovation, and operational efficiency, Okta commissioned an AlphaSights survey of 125 executives across three regions, targeting the decision-makers typically tasked with helming those efforts at companies:

• CSOs/CISOs for their focus on security
• CTOs for their focus on innovation
• CIOs for their focus on operational efficiency

Bhawna Singh, Chief Technology Officer at Okta, is here to discuss the results.

Traditional approaches to access management are no longer sufficient to safeguard enterprise security. Tim will explain why the most effective approach to modern enterprise security requires a Zero Trust model that extends beyond just access to encompass every action, no matter how minor.

Tim will describe the importance of implementing a Zero Trust framework that evaluates each command, query, and configuration change in real-time, and how that delivers the most effective and complete security solution. Doing so involves the application of fine-grained authorization policies that adapt to the context of the user, the sensitivity of the action, and the prevailing threat landscape.

Traditional IGA solutions are not risk-focused by design, and as audit and compliance focus continues to expand beyond core ERP systems and into line of business apps and point solutions, organizations must plan holistically how to address risk across their application landscape. It's never too late to start kicking off your risk reduction journey, and utilizing an innovative, unified platform for both identity and access risk governance has significant, compounding benefits and helps organizations realize faster time to value, lower TCO and longer term consistent risk exposure reduction. Ensuring access to all of your business-critical applications is provisioned seamlessly, efficiently, and cost-effectively while meeting risk, audit and compliance requirements should be the primary goal of any identity and access risk governance solution implementation.

Remote identity verification is one of the biggest challenges in the digital age, especially with the use of AI-generated deepfakes which are now impossible to distinguish from real imagery with the human eye. AI-powered biometrics have emerged as the most robust defense against deepfakes - and therefore, the only reliable method for remote identity verification.

The criminal opportunity shaping the landscape today and how authoritative, accurate and automated processes are helping others increase their conversion rates by 20% while preventing 99% of all fraudulent attempts. What is the Criminal Opportunity facing us all right now? Data breaches and mail theft have resulted in a record level of available compromised Identity Information, payment information, and login information and even stolen checks. It has been said that 'At this point, all of our information is out on the dark web and it's now just a matter of when is it going to be used against us.' Combined with inadequate fraud strategies, fraudsters have the key to the castle, it's a perfect scenario of having the answers to the quiz ahead of time.
