Focusing on Zero Trust: Security Challenges in Cloud and On-Prem Identity Integration & Single Sign-On (SSO) 

As enterprises accelerate the adoption of Microsoft Authentication and Google Authentication with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), authentication mechanisms have improved in both convenience and security. However, these advancements also introduce new security risks. 

Cybercriminals exploit phishing websites and social engineering tactics to steal user credentials, disguising their attack devices as legitimate authentication endpoints. By doing so, they successfully bypass MFA protections and gain unauthorized access to both cloud and on-premises systems. Worse still, they leverage lateral movement techniques to expand their attack reach within corporate networks, further exposing weaknesses in identity verification frameworks. 

This session will provide an in-depth analysis of these evolving threats, the root causes of security risks in current identity authentication models, and the long-term impact on cybersecurity. Attendees will gain critical insights into how these security challenges affect enterprise operations and develop a deeper understanding of the core value of Zero Trust in future security architectures. 

This talk is designed for security professionals and decision-makers interested in cloud integration and security, equipping them with the knowledge to develop comprehensive security strategies for their organizations.
