WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND THIS SYMPOSIUM
DSI’s 10th Annual Identity Management Symposium will address the importance in developments across the biometric and identity management sectors as they relate to national security. Biometrics and identity management systems stand as crucial pillars in fortifying the security infrastructure of the U.S. federal government. As technology evolves, the need to safeguard sensitive information and maintain the integrity of federal accounts becomes increasingly paramount. The U.S. federal government, entrusted with safeguarding national interests and critical data, relies on these advanced systems to thwart potential threats, ensuring that only authorized personnel gain access to classified information. This event will detail how the adoption of multifactor authentication and the incorporation of a Zero Trust framework further exemplify the commitment to combatting cyber threats, phishing scams, and credential misuse. In an era where digital risks are pervasive, biometrics and identity management systems are indispensable tools, safeguarding the nation’s security and fortifying the foundations of its digital infrastructure.

Across government agencies and the Armed Services, a number of projects and funding have been secured to ensure state of the art developments and technology for federal programs. Attendees at this event will learn about how NDAA is directing the DoD to establish the ICAM initiative as a Program-of-Record. The U.S. Army has allocated $94M for the development of an Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) Contract, is focusing efforts on Unified Network Plan for global connectivity on unclassified network as laid out in the NDAA FY23 and is rolling out 3-phase Zero Trust journey to implement the framework by 2027. Foundational capabilities: identity, credential, and access management; network visibility; endpoint security. They will also get to listen in on a panel of senior leaders from across the government discussing how Generative AI is defining identity frameworks.
The DSI team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposiums’ content and focus areas; we will assemble the most respected minds in identity management as well as key-policy makers across military and civilian offices.
