Compromised identities now account for one-third of security incidents, and more than 90% of organizations reported multiple identity-related breaches in the last year—an urgent backdrop for what comes next.
Enter Identiverse 2025—a four-day deep dive into the technologies, strategies, and innovations reshaping the way businesses secure identities in an era of AI, automation, and digital transformation.
Set for June 3-6, 2025, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, this year’s conference arrives at a critical moment. With AI-powered fraud escalating, passwordless authentication gaining momentum, and global regulations reshaping compliance obligations, Identiverse will provide the roadmap to navigate these pressing challenges.
Identiverse, a premier annual conference for the Identity Access Management community, is owned and produced by CyberRisk Alliance. It brings together over 3,000 identity, cybersecurity, and privacy professionals, offering more than 70 hours of expert-led sessions, hands-on masterclasses, and networking opportunities with the field’s top minds. SC Media, also part of the CyberRisk Alliance family, will be your source for up-to-the-minute coverage leading up to the event kickoff and for show coverage.
The Heavyweights Taking the Stage
Identiverse’s speaker lineup includes industry pioneers, Andre Durand, CEO of Ping Identity, and Michael Coates, former CISO of Twitter and Mozilla. Keynotes will explore the future of identity in AI-powered enterprises, while panels featuring CISOs from Visa, Google, Capital One, and AWS will offer firsthand insights into today’s most pressing IAM challenges.
Sessions like “Who Am I When I’m Not Me? Identity in the Age of AI Agents” and “Preparing for a Post-Quantum World – Identity in the Crosshairs” underscore the evolving threats that businesses must address now to stay ahead of attackers.
The Identity Trends Defining 2025
Identiverse 2025 promises to be not just another tech conference—rather a frontline briefing on the most urgent identity security threats and the strategies to mitigate them. Among the top issues that will dominate this year’s discussions:
AI & Identity: The Double-Edged Sword – Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-driven identity threats are accelerating at an unprecedented pace. A hands-on workshop will dissect how AI can both bolster and undermine identity security, equipping attendees with practical knowledge on LLM-driven fraud detection, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and the evolving role of AI in IAM.
The Rise of Non-Human Identity (NHI) Risks – As businesses automate workflows and integrate AI agents into decision-making, securing non-human identities has become a priority. A must-attend session will explore the hidden vulnerabilities of service accounts, bots, and AI-driven systems, offering new frameworks to secure machine-based interactions.
Passkeys and the Passwordless Future – As major enterprises accelerate their shift away from passwords, Identiverse will offer a deep dive into the latest advancements in passkey technology, phishing-resistant authentication, and the journey toward complete password deprecation.
Regulatory Disruptions in Digital Identity – The Digital Operations Resilience Act (DORA), Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), and NIS2 regulations are setting new compliance mandates for businesses operating in or with the EU. A dedicated session will break down these evolving requirements and what they mean for U.S. and multinational enterprises.
Continuous Identity & Zero Trust Strategies – The days of static identity verification are over. The conference will highlight event-driven identity models, shared signals frameworks, and the next generation of zero-trust access controls that can dynamically adapt to real-time security threats.
Professional Development for Identity Pros – Beyond tech talk, Identiverse also offers tracks on leadership, business alignment, regulatory fluency, and cross-functional collaboration. Whether you’re managing a team or pitching identity strategy to the C-suite, you’ll find the tools to grow.
A Conference That Matters Now
As deepfake-driven identity fraud (up 3,000%), AI-generated phishing attacks (up 700%), and identity sprawl continue to grow (60% of orgs manage over 21 identities per user), businesses can no longer afford to take a reactive approach to identity security.
Identiverse 2025 is the event where identity leaders gather to shape the future—arming themselves with the latest intelligence, emerging best practices, and networking opportunities to outmaneuver cybercriminals and compliance headaches alike.
With core tracks on architecture, standards, engineering, customer and citizen identity, fraud prevention, IAM deployments, privacy, ethics, business strategy, and more, the 2025 program offers a comprehensive view into what’s next for digital identity.
Identiverse is now the industry’s largest identity-focused event, expanding in size, scope, and strategic relevance year over year. Following a record-breaking 2024 edition with more than 3,000 attendees and 260+ speakers, the move to Mandalay Bay signals a new chapter—one that reflects digital identity’s ascent as a core pillar of enterprise security.
For those serious about staying ahead of the curve in identity security, Identiverse 2025 is an essential stop on the industry calendar.
