6:00 PM (CT) Beyond the Device: Rethinking Workforce Identity in the Age of AI | Thought Leadership Speaking | CLEAR

As AI-powered impersonation, deepfakes, and social engineering reshape the threat landscape, even the strongest authentication controls can leave a critical question unanswered: Is the person accessing your systems really who they claim to be?

At this executive dinner, Lance Taylor, Sr. Manager of Cyber Defense at CLEAR, will draw on 30 years of cybersecurity experience to explore the evolving tactics attackers use to exploit gaps in workforce identity. From employee onboarding to account recovery and sensitive system access, he’ll examine why traditional credentials and device-based authentication are no longer enough on their own and how a multi-layered approach to identity assurance can help organizations strengthen their defenses without adding unnecessary friction.
