The Next Frontier in Identity & Access Management: Collaborating Across Your Extended Enterprise

In today’s Middle East digital economy, business doesn’t stop at the org chart. Growth depends on how securely and efficiently you connect with your entire ecosystem: partners, suppliers, contractors, customers, and beyond. As Industry 4.0 reshapes regional infrastructure and regulation of KSA, identity and access have become strategic enablers of innovation, trust, and compliance.

Join us for an exclusive in-person executive seminar - hosted by Thales and StarLink, with the participation of AWS, to connect with your peers, exchange insights, and gain hands-on knowledge of emerging technologies and standards that are shaping the future of identity and access.

This event is designed for senior executives to explore how modern IAM, zero-trust architecture, and data sovereignty are helping leading organizations move faster, with security and sovereignty built in from the start.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Modern Identity Strategy
    How regional leaders are rethinking identity and access in a digital-first, cloud-first world
  • Balancing Trust and Experience
    The challenge of delivering secure onboarding journeys without compromising agility
  • Data Sovereignty in Practice
    Navigating user control, regulatory compliance, and in-country requirements
  • Concrete Innovation
    Case studies showing how organizations are bridging physical and digital access across borders
