Ping Identity, which founded the conference, will remain a founding sponsor and continue to support the conference’s expansion strategy, a CRA release stated. “Identiverse is uniquely positioned to serve an essential discipline within cybersecurity,” said CyberRisk Alliance CEO and founder Doug Manoni. “Our expansion plans for the conference and our commitment to serve the IAM community will develop Identiverse into an ever more powerful and influential brand of scale. We are particularly pleased to be partnering with an industry pioneer in Andre Durand and having Ping Identity’s continued support of the conference’s success.” “Ping identity started Identiverse over 13 years ago with the vision to share information and perspectives with the brightest minds in Identity and Access Management,” said Andre Durand, founder and CEO of Ping identity, and founder of Identiverse. “We are partnering with CyberRisk Alliance to expand our reach and impact among the security community. I look forward to working with them and the entire Identiverse team to inspire future practitioners to solve the toughest challenges within identity and access management.” The 2022 Identiverse Conference will offer more than 140 sessions, panels and keynotes.
