Lost in Cyberspace: The Struggle of SMEs with Employee Identity Management
22 Oct 2025
Level 1 | Exhibition Hall, Sands Expo and Convention Centre
A Relook of Identity and Data as Key Underpinnings of Cybersecurity
The rapid evolution of cyberspace demands unprecedented agility, particularly for SMEs confronting critical risks in employee identity and access management. This session addresses the "SSO tax," restrictive enterprise-tier paywalls for essential integrations like SCIM, and SMEs' inadvertent role as vulnerabilities within global supply chains. Leveraging real-world experiences from the forefront of cybersecurity innovation, the presentation will explore emerging standards like SAML, OIDC, SCIM, and Passkeys within the broader context of the dynamic cybersecurity landscape. Emphasizing the interconnectedness of pureplay cybersecurity, adjacent tech interactions, and real-world socio-economic impacts, the session advocates for systemic change, urging collaborative action between industry, government, and multinational corporations to establish security as an intrinsic right for all businesses.
