WSO2 Secures Future with AI-Driven Automation for Identity and Access Management

Mumbai – March 12, 2025 – Enterprise software developers are increasingly tasked with going beyond their core skills to create secure, branded applications and digital experiences. WSO2 is addressing this demand with today’s introduction of new, integrated artificial intelligence (AI) based capabilities for automating IAM-related processes. The features are generally available on all three of the company’s identity and access management (IAM) offerings: WSO2 Identity Server open-source software (OSS), Asgardeo identity as a service (IDaaS), and WSO2 Private Identity Cloud.

WSO2 will demonstrate the new AI capabilities for IAM at WSO2Con 2025, which runs March 18-20, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain. Additionally, the company will use the event to preview new functionality for enabling AI-driven applications by providing robust IAM for AI agents and workloads, which will be rolled out in Q2 2025.

“As AI reshapes how developers create and deliver digital experiences, this evolution needs to extend to how we protect those services and the users who rely on them,” said Geethika Cooray, vice president and general manager of identity and access management at WSO2. “Through our new and forthcoming AI capabilities, we are not only helping developers to streamline key IAM-related functions; we’re also empowering them to provide a new generation of secure AI-driven applications and services.”

The new WSO2 product versions build on the proven IAM capabilities of WSO2 Identity Server, Asgardeo, and Private Identity Cloud. Collectively, they manage more than 1 billion identities worldwide and support a range of scenarios, including customer IAM (CIAM) business-to-business (B2B) CIAM, and government-to-citizen (G2C) IAM, among others. Because the three products share the same code base and user interface (UI), WSO2 customers have unprecedented flexibility to migrate between cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments while delivering a consistent, best-in-class user experience for developers, consumers, and other users.

The latest IAM product releases also extend WSO2’s leadership in delivering comprehensive functionality for complex B2B IAM and CIAM business scenarios, enhance extensibility to facilitate customization, and add identity verification and post-quantum security.

 Enhanced Productivity via AI-Driven Automation

The new versions of WSO2 Identity Server, Asgardeo, and Private Identity Cloud now offer AI-driven capabilities for the intelligent automation of IAM-related processes, including branding and login flows. The AI-powered branding function analyzes the visual elements of an organization’s existing website and automatically applies colors, fonts, button styles, and more to ensure brand consistency while reducing the manual design effort required for developers. Meanwhile, the AI-powered login flow generator empowers developers to use natural language requests to automatically create customized workflows, accelerating the configuration process while reducing the complexity of authentication.

In Q2 2025, WSO2 will complement current AI-driven developer productivity features with agentic AI security. New capabilities, among others, will include a pre-configured application template for AI agents with built-in IAM protocol support along with the ability to extend current AI agent frameworks with agent authentication and access delegation.

Expanded Comprehensive B2B Support

WSO2 Identity Server, Asgardeo, and Private Identity Cloud offer the industry’s most comprehensive B2B CIAM support. With WSO2, enterprises can easily onboard enterprise customers and their consumers; delegate administration to enterprise customers; flexibly manage complex, multi-level organization hierarchies; and support enterprise customers’ entire B2B application portfolio.

The latest WSO2 IAM products add three new features to further facilitate B2B CIAM implementations. First, enhanced IAM sub-organization functionality enables customers to sign on once to access multiple enterprise customers and sub-organizations or brands within those customers. Second, new impersonation capabilities enable primary organization administrators to operate on their customer organization’s behalf. Third, support for distinct branding and notification options facilitates customization, including application-specific branding for consumer-facing UIs.

Increased Extensibility and Security

WSO2 builds on the strong extensibility provided by WSO2 Identity Server via Java with a new API-based product extension architecture that works with all three IAM products: WSO2 Identity Server, Asgardeo, and Private Identity Cloud. Now enterprise developers can customize their experience—even within a simplified software as a service (SaaS) environment—by using any language they want to build and deploy extensions anywhere they choose, connecting them via APIs. Organizations can then control the execution of these extensions with custom rules.

Additionally, WSO2’s IAM products feature a number of security enhancements: Built-in support for post-quantum safe cryptography protects against a quantum computer’s ability to crack traditional cryptographic techniques. Integration with OnFido provides advanced identity verification (IDV) capabilities. Integration with Sift enables AI-powered fraud decisioning. Finally, a sovereign identity proxy from partner InCountry offers the ability to isolate identity data in other countries to address regulatory requirements.

 

Jack Quaid Reflects on Novocaine’s Intense Action, Says It’s Tough to Fight Instincts

March 12,2025:Love can be a powerful force but what happens when it’s tested like never before? Novocaine is a high-octane action thriller wrapped around a pulse-pounding love story. When Nate’s world is shattered by the kidnapping of the girl he loves, he must turn his rare condition – an inability to feel pain, into his greatest weapon.

Bringing the intensity to life is The Boys star Jack Quaid, who steps into Nate’s shoes with a fresh challenge of performing action scenes without showing any pain. Talking about this, Jack Quaid said, “The stunt scenes were very fun to do, I have to say. Like a lot of rigorous training and rehearsing and all of that but it was so worth it. And it was so fun to do these fight scenes as a guy who can’t feel pain, it’s a challenge cause your natural instinct is to wince or play like you got hurt like that’s what I’ve done for every other fight scene, and this you have to kind of fight that natural reaction, so we kind of found a way that Nate fights specifically cause he’s not a trained fighter, so that was really cool figuring out how these fight scenes play out”.

Talking about the action sequences and the team behind them, Jack added, “Shout out to Stanny and our entire stunt team. They did such a great job. I think maybe the kitchen fight was my favourite one to do and then there’s a scene in this rundown house that was unbelievably fun to do. Nathan Kane can’t feel pain, that’s about it!”

Directed by Dan Berk and Robert Olsen, Novocaine delivers a gripping mix of action, romance, and suspense, pushing Nate to his limits as he fights against impossible odds. Packed with intense chases, raw emotion, and a story that proves love is worth every battle, this is one ride you won’t want to miss.

Sony SAB Secures Festive Cheer as Actors Reveal Their Most Cherished Holi Memories

March 12, 2025: Holi is not just a festival of colors; it’s a celebration of joy, togetherness, and cherished memories. From playful childhood traditions to vibrant gatherings, the festival holds a special place in everyone’s heart. This Holi, the actors of Sony SAB – Aditya Redij, Priyanka Singh, Krishna Bharadwaj, Arav Chowdharry, and Naveen Pandita share their favorite Holi moments and speak about what makes this festival truly special.
Krishna Bharadwaj playing the role of Tenali Rama in Tenali Rama: “Holi and gujiyas go hand in hand! I remember once trying to make gujiyas at home, but they turned out more like samosas! My mother still teases me about it. On set, we often talk about our favorite Holi treats, and for me, nothing beats a plate of piping hot pakoras with a glass of thandai. As for pranks, I once mixed organic colors in a thandai batch for my friends—it took them hours to realize why their faces wouldn’t wash off!”
Aditya Redij playing the role of Krishnadevaraya in Tenali Rama: “Over the years, Holi has given me beautiful memories—some with family, some with friends, and now, the most special ones with my son. This time, while the colors fill the air with joy, my kitchen will be filled with flavors as I plan to whip up some nutritious alternatives to our festive favorites. Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe Holi—may it be as vibrant as your hearts and as healthy as your choices!”
Arav Chowdharry, playing the role of Kesari in Veer Hanuman: “Holi is the festival of colours, and it has been a special day for me since childhood. Back in Jaipur, we would start celebrating 10 to 15 days early, filling buckets with water balloons and playfully spraying cyclists with our pichkaris. It used to be so much fun. Even now, Holi is a joyful occasion. Some of the best celebrations were at Mr. Bachchan’s home, filled with colors, music, dance, and laughter. These days, I celebrate at home, enjoying my favorite Gujiya—though I skip Thandai, just to be safe! Holi is all about energy, togetherness, and vibrant colors. The music, from Balam Pichkari to Rang Barse, makes it even more special. We celebrate with organic gulal, keeping the tradition alive. Happy Holi to everyone!”
Priyanka Singh playing the role of Tirumalamba in Tenali Rama: “Holi has always been about food and fun in my family. My mother makes the best gujiyas, and no Holi is complete without them. I do try my hand at making them, but I think I’m better at eating them! I also love chaat, and I remember tricking a cousin once by making an extra spicy papdi chaat—his reaction was priceless! I also enjoy going out to play Holi, and dancing to the tunes of the music. One tip that I’d like to share with my fans for better skin care is to use herbal colors only.”
Naveen Pandita playing the role of Ashwin Patel in Pushpa Impossible: “I love playing with eco-friendly colors because, for me, Holi is all about colors! On set, I feel privileged that we’ve had Holi scenes for the past two years, allowing us to celebrate the festival while shooting. One of my most memorable childhood Holi moments was when my friends played a prank on me by throwing water balloons, completely catching me off guard!”
