Today’s security professionals face a growing challenge: how to bring together fragmented physical and digital access systems in a world that’s rapidly shifting to hybrid work, smart buildings, and increasingly connected environments. These changes are creating more than just complexity—they’re exposing gaps that put operations, assets and people at risk.To stay ahead, organizations need credential strategies that are unified, flexible, and secure, working seamlessly across every access point, from the front door to the cloud. But getting there isn’t as simple as picking a single solution off the shelf. With so many vendors, form factors and evolving security standards in play, building a cohesive access ecosystem takes collaboration and a strategic approach.This panel brings together experts from leading technology manufacturers, an interoperability consortium, and innovators in smart access devices to share how integrated solutions are helping enterprises close security gaps, streamline access, and build credential strategies that are ready for the future.

This is an ISC East session taking place at 3:15pm in room 1A24.
