• Can we use our user behavior analytics to better inform managers in a self-service means what access their current employees use and why, and what new employees need on day one?
• Can we make it frictionless for developers to integrate authentication into progressive microservice architectures by providing intuitive user friendly libraries?
• … anything else that makes security easy to consume and has an impact within the organization
