In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the governance of identity attributes is crucial for maintaining robust security and compliance. This presentation explores the significance of managing identity attributes in a dynamic environment, focusing on the role of identity governance in ensuring attribute provenance, protection, and effectiveness. We will delve into the risks associated with Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and their impact on security frameworks. Additionally, we will highlight the importance of these practices within the context of a zero-trust model, emphasizing the need for continuous verification and adaptive security measures.

Healthcare organizations often face challenges and risk managing access for clinical contract staff as well as strategic partners. Non-employees such as affiliate physicians and travel nurses or strategic partners such as lab or manufacturing vendors often have overprovisioned access that can unintentionally expand the attack surface. Alternatively, implementing risk-based identity security and lifecycle strategies for third-party non-employees can help reduce access risk and accelerate strategic partner initiatives.   Hear how healthcare customers have mitigated non-employee risk, the paths they took toward implementing SailPoint’s Non-Employee Risk Management solution, and the lessons they have learned along the way.

As organizations navigate the complexities of digital transformation, the shift from legacy Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems to modern cloud-based solutions has become imperative. Legacy IAM platforms often struggle to keep pace with the evolving security landscape, leading to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and a lack of scalability. This session explores Labcorp’s strategic migration to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, focusing on how this transition enhances organizational maturity and drives adoption across the enterprise. Join presenters as they cover Labcorp’s journey to modernize including the key phases of the migration process, the IAM maturity assessment, setting benchmarks for desired outcomes, and executing a phased adoption strategy.
