1. Identity is the Perimeter – Jeff Reich – BSW #319
Managing identities continues to add complexity for granting access to enterprise resources. Between the increasing number and expanding types of identities, including carbon-based, silicon-based, and artificial identities, and the evolution of cloud computing and remote work, managing the perimeter is now an identity problem. What risks do each of these identity types pose and how do you mitigate them?
Jeff Reich, Executive Director at Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA), joins us to discuss the challenges of digital identities, how to discover risk with digital identities, and how best to mitigate those risks.
