We are thrilled to share that TODAY (and also tomorrow) we are showcasing shared signals interoperability in action at the Gartner Identity and Access Management (IAM) Summit, in Grapevine, Texas.

Following the significant levels of interest generated by the success of our interoperability session at the last Gartner IAM Summit in London earlier this year, Gartner invited us back for a follow up. 

This afternoon, industry leaders, security professionals, architects and identity management experts will have the opportunity to witness how the shared signals open standards are reshaping modern security practices. For organizations striving to enhance security in an interconnected world, it promises to be a showcase of collaboration, innovation, and real-world application of these groundbreaking standards.

What to expect 

Shared Signals Work Group implementers will conduct the  Shared Signals Interop Demos: CAEP and RISC in Action sessions - three on Tuesday and three on Wednesday.

Here, the attendees will see real-world implementations from industry leading companies of CAEP and SSF in action, showcasing how open standards solve complex security challenges. 

Implementers presenting at these interoperability sessions are:

• AppOmni
• caep.dev
• Cisco
• Delinea
• Google
• IBM
• Jamf
• Okta
• Omnissa
• SailPoint
• Saviynt
• SGNL
• Thales
• WinMagic

Attendees joining the sessions will:

• learn about the latest developments in CAEP and SSF and its critical role in Zero Trust architectures;
• network with experts and engage with leading implementers from the above listed organizations;
• experience live demonstrations, and see interoperable implementations of SSF and CAEP in action;
• have the opportunity to talk one-on-one with participants of the interoperability event to explore use cases and integration strategies.

Building on success and driving interoperability 

The OpenID Foundation’s return to the highly anticipated global event follows an extremely successful session in March earlier this year when the Gartner Summit took place in London. It proved to be a pivotal moment for SSF, positioning SSF as a game-changing API that enhances the security and efficiency of identity systems. 

The Shared Signals Working Group hosted a similar interoperability session and a breakout session together with industry leaders, including Okta, SailPoint, and Cisco, as well as startups like VeriClouds and SGNL. They demonstrated the interoperable implementations of the Shared Signals Framework (SSF) and its associated protocols - Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol (CAEP) which allows continuous assessment of user sessions and dynamic authorization decisions, and Risk Incident Sharing and Coordination (RISC), which facilitates sharing of account-level risk events among service providers.

These demonstrations not only highlighted the power of open standards in building secure, Zero Trust architectures, but showcased a strong endorsement of open standards by leading technology providers. See below the status of the interoperability going into today's event. For more information and to schedule a meeting with interoperability participants, please contact us.

Interoperability Event Participant Status

Below are all of the committed participants of the event and their interoperability status prior to the Gartner IAM event. 

Notes:

• A checkmark (✅) in a cell means that the corresponding implementation has successfully demonstrated interoperability with at least one other implementation that participated in this interoperability event, in the specific role (Transmitter or Receiver).
• If a Transmitter or Receiver could only demonstrate one delivery method (across all other interoperability participants), then the checkmark will be followed by a qualifier, i.e. “push” or “poll” depending on the delivery method demonstrated.
• The checkmark without a qualifier (push or poll) indicates that the implementation successfully interoperated with at least one other participating implementation using the push method, and with at least one other participating implementation using the poll method.

About The OpenID Foundation (OIDF)

The OpenID Foundation (OIDF) is a global open standards body committed to helping people assert their identity wherever they choose. Founded in 2007, we are a community of technical experts leading the creation of open identity standards that are secure, interoperable, and privacy preserving. The Foundation’s OpenID Connect standard is now used by billions of people across millions of applications. In the last five years, the Financial Grade API has become the standard of choice for Open Banking and Open Data implementations, allowing people to access and share data across entities. Today, the OpenID Foundation’s standards are the connective tissue to enable people to assert their identity and access their data at scale, the scale of the internet, enabling “networks of networks” to interoperate globally. Individuals, companies, governments and non-profits are encouraged to join or participate. Find out more at openid.net.
