More on the subject

How can organizations defend themselves against identity-based attacks that are becoming faster, smarter, and increasingly AI-driven? During a Vision Dinner on June 16, Martin Sandren, IAM Product Lead at IKEA, shares practical lessons learned from establishing an Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) approach within a global enterprise environment.

Identity-driven attacks—fueled by advanced phishing techniques and AI—enable attackers to take over user identities at an alarming rate. This poses an urgent challenge for security teams: how do we prevent identity-based breaches from escalating into major incidents, such as ransomware? Martin provides a look behind the scenes at how IKEA is tackling this challenge and how ITDR helps organizations detect, delay, and stop attackers before damage occurs.

Martin discusses how to structure an effective ITDR program, where to build “thresholds” for attackers, and how to implement the response component of ITDR in a practical and scalable way. Expect concrete insights that bridge identity security strategy with operational defense in practice.

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