More on the subject

How can organizations defend against identity-based attacks that are becoming faster, smarter, and increasingly powered by AI? During a Vision Dinner on May 6, Martin Sandren, IAM Product Lead at IKEA, will share practical lessons learned from building an Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) approach within a global enterprise environment.

Identity-driven attacks — fueled by advanced phishing techniques and AI — are enabling attackers to successfully take over user identities at an alarming rate. This creates a pressing challenge for security teams: how do we stop identity-based breaches before they lead to major incidents such as ransomware? Martin will provide a behind-the-scenes perspective on how IKEA is addressing this challenge, and how ITDR helps organizations detect, slow down, and stop attackers before damage is done.

Martin will discuss how to structure an effective ITDR program, where to introduce “attacker speedbumps,” and how to implement the Response component of ITDR in a practical and scalable way. Expect concrete insights that connect identity security strategy with real-world operational defense.

The session will conclude with a moderated roundtable discussion, giving participants the opportunity to exchange experiences and perspectives on strengthening identity resilience in modern digital environments. Would you like to be part of this conversation? Sign up now to secure your spot.
