Mission-Ready Identity:
The New Standard of Defense in the AI Era

Perimeters have dissolved, AI-powered attacks are scaling faster than controls, and static identity data is creating blind spots—driving operational and financial risk in places you can’t see until it’s too late. The question every leader now has to answer is simple: when it matters most, who can you actually trust right now?

The New Standard Starts Now

This executive summit brings together security, fraud, operations, and business leaders from across industries to reframe identity from a static “system of record” to mission-ready infrastructure.

We’ll explore how moving beyond canonical identity to real-time, high-assurance verification—with a human in the loop—becomes the new standard of defense against cybersecurity threats.
Understand the intersection between cybersecurity and zero trust, where identity is the front line
See how leading organizations are addressing fraud, waste, and abuse by strengthening identity at every critical touchpoint
Explore how emerging technologies—from agentic AI to digital identity ecosystems—are reshaping how trust is established

Agenda

Registration and Lunch

12:00-12:10 PM

Opening Remarks

12:10-12:30 PM

Identity in Motion: From Football to Finance

Identity is not static—it evolves with experience, ambition, circumstance, and the roles we grow into over time. In this opening conversation, Caryn Seidman Becker and Justin Tuck will reflect on Justin’s journey from NFL champion to investor and business leader, exploring how trust and reputation carry across transitions and why identity is ultimately more layered, dynamic, and human than we often assume.

  • Caryn Seidman Becker, Founder, Chair & CEO, CLEAR
  • Justin Tuck, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs & Two-Time NFL Champion
12:35-12:55 PM

Identity is the New Standard of Defense

Traditional perimeters are eroding. The signals that once established confidence—documents, devices, credentials, and human interaction—are now easier to manipulate at scale. Drawing on lessons from cybersecurity, national defense, and modern threat operations, this conversation will examine why identity has become foundational to protecting systems, institutions, and the people behind them.

  • BG (Ret.) Christopher M. Burns, USA, Former SOCNORTH Commanding General
  • Mohamad Mirghahari, National Security Fellow, Seton Hall University
1:00-1:35 PM

Modern Cyber Defense: Where Identity Meets Zero Trust

Security leaders will share how they’re operationalizing zero trust by mapping critical attack paths, tightening access around mission-critical systems and data, and building continuous verification into everyday workflows. They’ll dig into the hardest gaps to close—privileged users, third parties, account recovery, and remote work—and how stronger identity signals are reshaping their strategies. 

  • Jon Schlegel, Chief Security Officer, CLEAR (Moderator)
  • Shawn Edwards, SVP, Chief Security & Privacy Officer, Zayo Group
  • Gary Brickhouse, CISO, Guidepoint Security
  • Hannah Francis, AVP Cybersecurity, AT&T
1:35-2:15 PM

Fraud Lives Where Identity Breaks Down

As organizations and agencies operate across fragmented data environments, the inability to connect identity across interactions creates blind spots that bad actors consistently take advantage of. This session will examine how breaking down silos changes the equation—from isolated detection to coordinated, identity-driven defense—and how better visibility into who is behind each interaction can help reduce fraud, waste, and abuse.

  • Aneesh Chopra, Chair, Arcadia Institute; Former U.S. CTO & Virginia Sec. of Technology (Moderator)
  • Kim Brandt, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy Administrator, CMS
  • Jamie Baker, Director, Federal Health, Science and Policy, Amazon Web Services
  • Amy Nofziger, Director, Fraud Victim Support, AARP
  • Murali Gandhirajan, Global Regulated Industries CTO, Snowflake
2:15-2:45 PM

Break

2:45-3:20 PM

Raising the Bar on Identity

With AI-driven fraud accelerating, the cracks in today’s identity standards are getting harder to ignore. Documents can be forged, signals can be spoofed, and “good enough” verification is what attackers exploit. This session will challenge the idea that identity can be solved with a single source of truth, exploring what it takes to establish real trust: layered signals, continuous validation, and higher-integrity approaches that go beyond traditional standards. 

  • Vladimir Stojkovski, SVP Product, CLEAR
  • Arun Vemury, Principal, Farscope Advisory
  • Christopher Williams, Ph.D., Principal Product Manager, Fraud, CLEAR
  • Doug Aley, CEO, Paravision
3:25-3:40 PM

Principles in Practice: Fidelity National Financial

Identity is often discussed as a security requirement or a customer experience challenge. In reality, organizations have to solve for security, usability, and consistency all at once. In this fireside chat, leaders from Fidelity National Financial will share how they are putting CLEAR1’s standard of identity assurance to work across both consumer and employee workflows, and why establishing a strong foundation matters across the entire enterprise lifecycle. 

  • Brett Romanoff, EVP, CLEAR1
  • Brian Maughan, Chief Innovation & Marketing Officer, Fidelity National Financial
3:45-4:15 PM

The Future of Identity Won’t Fit in a Wallet

mDLs and digital wallets have finally made identity portable—secure, private, and user-controlled. But one question remains: without shared rails, consistent acceptance, and real interoperability, will these credentials actually work beyond isolated use cases? Leaders shaping the wallet ecosystem will unpack the gap between innovation and scale, and what’s needed to close it. 

  • Jane Stanton, SVP, Operations & Marketing (Moderator)
  • Vladimir Stojkovski, SVP Product, CLEAR
  • Rob White, Head of Samsung Wallet US, Samsung
  • Justin Saslaw, General Partner, Ribbit Capital
4:20-4:40 PM

Building a Trusted Agentic Enterprise

The age of intelligent agents is here—and the enterprises winning in this new era are those who built the right foundation before deploying them. In this session, Snowflake's Zaki Bajwa explores how the world's most data-driven industries are transforming through agentic AI. But agentification without governance is a liability. As agents act on behalf of humans, enterprises must rethink both the data foundation that powers them and the security controls that govern them.

  • Zaki Bajwa, Regional Vice President - Industry & Platform CTO, Snowflake
  • Jeff Valeo, Chief Product & Technology Officer, CLEAR
4:40-5:00 PM

Closing Remarks: Building the Future with AI

AI is reshaping how organizations operate, compete, and create value. From automating complex workflows to enabling entirely new ways of serving customers, the opportunities are vast—and moving faster than many leaders ever imagined. In this closing conversation, Caryn Seidman Becker and Bret Taylor will explore how organizations can embrace this transformation, what separates those who will lead from those who will fall behind, and why trust remains essential as AI becomes more deeply embedded in everyday life.

  • Bret Taylor, CEO & Co-Founder, Sierra; Chairman, OpenAI; Former Co-CEO, Salesforce; Co-Creator, Google Maps
  • Caryn Seidman Becker, Founder, Chair & CEO, CLEAR
5:00-7:00 PM
