When designing an enterprise Identity and Access Management roadmap, it’s essential to consider not just the technologies of today but also those that will shape the future of digital security. Mobile Driver’s Licenses (mDLs), security convergence, passkey, verifiable digital credentials, identity wallet, Gen-AI resilient identity proofing and PQC migration are some of the key components that need to be considered to future-proof your organization’s identity management strategy.

As organizations increasingly embrace hybrid work environments and digital services, securing user identities has become more complex and critical. Enterprise Identity systems are increasingly vulnerable to evolving threats, necessitating a paradigm shift in how we plan for the organization’s identity and access management (IAM) roadmap. This session will offer an overview of how enterprises can evolve their IAM systems by integrating modern identity technologies, including cryptographic smart cards, mobile Driver’s Licenses (mDLs), resilient identity proofing against generative AI, multi-factor authentication (MFA) such as passkey, and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration with crypto-agility.

Over a decade ago, the U.S. payments industry began the migration of credit and debit cards to EMV chip technology. While chip cards are now commonplace in the U.S., not all types of payments cards made that journey. In 2023, stakeholders across the ecosystem came together to improve security of EBT cards by implementing chip technology. This presentation provides perspectives on the process, changes and challenges of the SNAP migration and how it both is similar to and different from the credit/debit card migration.
