The Brick House Special: Closing the Gaps Between Identity, Access, Endpoint & Risk

August 18, 2026 | 12:00pm EST

Strong identity has become the foundation of modern security. The opportunity now is using identity together with endpoint and access context to make smarter decisions at every login and every request.

In this special edition of The Brick House, experts from GuidePoint Security, CrowdStrike, Ping Identity and Zscaler discuss how leading organizations are combining identity, device posture and contextual signals to make more informed access decisions and reduce risk without adding unnecessary friction.

We’ll explore:

  • How identity, endpoint and access technologies complement one another
  • Using device and identity context to improve security decisions
  • Practical approaches for reducing risk while maintaining productivity
  • Common architectural patterns and lessons learned
  • What’s next for adaptive access and modern identity security

Join Gary Brickhouse, CISO at GuidePoint Security and a panel of identity and Zero Trust leaders for a practical discussion focused on architecture, operations and real-world implementation—not product demos, no pitches, just a practical conversation among experienced industry professionals.
