Co-author of SAML federation standard Eric Olden will explain how to architect IAM for uninterrupted operation during identity provider outages

Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced that CEO Eric Olden will deliver a session titled "IAM Resilience in the Real World" at CyberArk Impact 2025. The session will explore strategies to maintain continuous operations and avoid costly disruptions due to identity infrastructure outages.

WHO: Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity, is a leading authority on identity management. He previously founded, scaled, and successfully exited Securant/ClearTrust (Web Access Management) and Symplified (the first IDaaS company). Eric also served as SVP and GM at Oracle, where he ran the identity and security business worldwide. As a technologist, he co-authored the SAML standard, created the first pre-integrated SSO platform, is the visionary behind the Identity Fabric™, and is the author of “Identity Orchestration For Dummies.”

WHAT: Outages in identity infrastructure are far more than just inconveniences—they threaten revenue, brand reputation, security, and regulatory compliance. In this session, Eric will provide practical guidance on implementing robust identity continuity strategies that mitigate risk and maintain business operations through intelligent failover and orchestration. Attendees will learn how to address single points of failure from identity provider (IDP) solutions, ensuring continuous access to critical systems and applications, even during unforeseen outages.

Key discussion topics will include:

• Real-world examples of IDP outages and their business impacts
• Strategies to avoid single points of failure in identity systems
• The role of identity orchestration in enabling intelligent failover between cloud and on-premises IDPs
• How to balance identity resilience with cost efficiency and compliance
• Practical recommendations to achieve continuous operations and cyber recovery capabilities

WHEN: Wednesday, April 9 from 1:45 PM - 2:30 PM EDT

WHERE: CyberArk Impact 2025 at the Omni Boston Hotel, Seaport.

About Strata Identity

Strata Identity is the leader in Identity Orchestration. Its platform enables organizations to support multiple identity providers (IDPs) without requiring heavy customization or changing the user experience. By decoupling identity from applications, Strata unifies single sign-on (SSO), rationalizes IDPs, and provides reliable failover between on-prem and cloud IDPs — even during outages. Strata’s founders created the IDQL (Identity Query Language) standard and Hexa open-source project for multi-cloud policy orchestration, and they co-authored the SAML standard for SSO federation.
