Karoliina ”Karo” Kemppainen toimii johtajavana asiantuntijana Traficomin Kyberturvallisuuskeskuksessa. Hänen intohimonaan on tehdä maailmasta turvallisempi paikka kaikille ja kannustaa ihmisiä niin tekemään kuin myös vaatimaan turvallisempia ohjelmistoja.

Karoliina aloitti työuransa ohjelmistokehittäjänä, mutta viime vuodet hän on työskennellyt enemmän hallinnollisella puolella IT:n ja kyberturvallisuuden parissa. Turvallinen ohjelmistokehitys on aihe, joka hänen mielestään koskettaa kaikkia niin devaajista johtajiin.

An employee’s digital identity has a lifecycle that starts even before their first day and continues until after they leave the organization. In this session, we will follow that journey step by step:

• Before day one – the individual’s identity is securely verified, establishing trust from the very beginning.
• First day and beyond – the right access is automatically granted based on role and responsibility. Additional access can be requested through self-service with optional approval, while regular access reviews ensure that permissions remain appropriate over time.
• Adaptive protection – risks and threats are continuously assessed, keeping logins and access secure, with self-remediation options for users.
• Secure connectivity anywhere – whether resources are in the cloud, on-premises, or across the internet, employees gain consistent, secure access from any device and location, ensuring productivity without compromising security.
• End of the journey – when employment ends, access is swiftly and cleanly removed, minimizing risks to the organization.
