Breaking the Honeypot: Why Centralized Identity is a 2026 Liability

As AI-driven cyberattacks scale exponentially, centralized identity architectures have quietly become the most dangerous liability in enterprise security. This session delivers a practitioner-level examination of why legacy IAM and CIAM systems are failing — and presents a concrete, deployable framework for the next generation of identity security.

Attendees will walk away with actionable insight into three converging pillars: hardware-backed passkeys anchored in Trusted Execution Environments (FIDO2/WebAuthn), decentralized digital wallets leveraging W3C Verifiable Credentials and OIDC4VC/SIOPv2 protocols, and Zero-Knowledge Proofs that enable mathematical identity verification without exposing underlying data.

Designed for CISOs, security architects, and forward-thinking practitioners, this talk bridges cutting-edge research with real-world implementation — directly aligned with Triangle InfoSeCon's mission to advance cybersecurity knowledge across the Triangle.
