2026 Rocky Mountain Cybersecurity Symposium

Most breaches still start with abused credentials and over-permissioned access - yet many organizations are stuck with manual, siloed identity processes. In this session, you’ll learn how to use the Horizons maturity model to quickly baseline where your identity program is today, identify the “next horizon” capabilities that matter most.  Designed for RMCS’s Technical audience (but approachable for security leaders), we’ll walk through real-world patterns like: cleaning up birthright access, tightening joiner/mover/leaver workflows, making access reviews less painful (and more meaningful), and extending governance beyond humans to machine identities and AI-era access. We’ll close with a lightweight checklist you can take back to your environment and use immediately.
