“We need to build adaptive authentication for employees. We need to build intelligent walls that look at a bunch of things - location, device, etc.,” Malta says.

- How to create continuous authentication for employees;
- Architectural changes required for changing authentication;
- What concepts of CIAM are relevant for employees.
