Transcript
- 0:00But you'll have those same organizations that have that
- 0:03doing draconian password reset rules, like change your password
- 0:08every. 90. Days and it's got to be 16
- 0:12characters long, It's got to have upper and lower.
- 0:15It's got to, you know, it can't have been reused in the last 20
- 0:20passwords. And it's like, man, you're not
- 0:23following like the NIST recommendations.
- 0:26And if you think you can do it better than NIST, yeah, yeah,
- 0:33so. You know what drives me crazy is
- 0:35you've got, you know, a modern, very good authentication
- 0:39platform like an Azure or even an Octa, and you've got all the
- 0:43bells and whistles and you don't enforce MFA everywhere, right?
- 0:47You've got some other system that's like, ah, we don't have
- 0:50MFA on that one, but hey, we've got it on these other, you know,
- 0:5280 systems. Guess where?
- 0:55Guess where the targeted attacks are gonna go?
- 1:02This is identity at the center. If it has anything to do with
- 1:07IAM, this is the go to podcast now your hosts Jim McDonald and
- 1:15Jeff Stedman. Welcome to the Identity at the
- 1:23Center podcast. I'm Jeff and that's Jim.
- 1:25Hey, Jim. Hey, Jeff, how are you?
- 1:27Oh, not so bad yourself. Well, it's been a comedy of
- 1:31errors, technically, to get this episode started.
- 1:33So given all that, I'm, I'm good, I'm in a good mood.
- 1:39You know, next week we're going to be out in Las Vegas.
- 1:41I guess by the time this episode drops, it'll be this week in Las
- 1:47Vegas for Advent reverse. It's feels like we've been
- 1:50talking about it for the last six months, right?
- 1:52I think we have been talking about it for the last six
- 1:54months, but yeah, it is finally here.
- 1:56I think let's see, it'll be Monday when people listen to
- 1:58this and we'll probably be running around somewhere getting
- 2:03set up and prepped and ready to do stuff.
- 2:04But I think the the conference itself doesn't start till
- 2:07Tuesday. So yeah, we'll get forward to.
- 2:10It, yeah. I mean, I'm not trying to pat
- 2:12ourselves on the back or like congratulate ourselves.
- 2:15But you know, putting out a podcast requires a lot more work
- 2:19than the hour and 15 minutes that the podcast recording is.
- 2:23The output is right and the conference is especially like we
- 2:27have to get there a little bit early, kind of map out where
- 2:30we're going to be, make sure we have power and all the things
- 2:34that we never had to worry about before.
- 2:37It's a different set of, it's a different set of problems.
- 2:40Like, you know, at home it's Internet, certainly power and
- 2:44just the weirdness that AV can have a different OSS and
- 2:47browsers and stuff like that. But yeah, it gets you a
- 2:49conference. And the thing that I care about
- 2:50is that is there a power outlet within reach, right of where
- 2:54we're going to be recording so that we can do that.
- 2:57But yeah, it's it's going to be fun.
- 2:59I think we look forward to seeing a lot of, you know,
- 3:02friendly faces, new faces, meeting a lot of folks that had
- 3:04a lot of requests to, you know stop by different vendor booths
- 3:08and things like that. So I will try to get to as many
- 3:10as I can, but apologies in advance if I'm not able to hit
- 3:14everybody, it'll be pretty busy for both of us.
- 3:17Did you get the request for Ron to come over to his booth and
- 3:22check out the Belden chocolates? No, I didn't see that one.
- 3:26OK, well, I'll share that one with you because anybody that's
- 3:29gonna have chocolates at their booth, I'm suffering by.
- 3:32Yeah, yeah, that's a good one. I've had a lot of requests to
- 3:35meet for coffee, and I think if I met all the people for coffee
- 3:39that have asked, I drink a lot of more coffee than I was
- 3:43planning on drinking. What happens if you don't drink
- 3:46coffee like me? Drink a a soda or something like
- 3:49that. Yeah.
- 3:50Can we normalize like let's meet for a beverage rather than, you
- 3:54know, don't push her coffee agenda on me.
- 3:59Yeah, you're not a coffee guy or a.
- 4:00Tea guy. No caffeine.
- 4:03Soda. One or the other.
- 4:04Yeah, no, not of the above. So, So what should people do if
- 4:10they want to, you know, reach out and kind of like either set
- 4:15up time or at least let us know that they'd like to meet.
- 4:18Because anybody who wants to meet me, I want to meet them.
- 4:23I mean, LinkedIn probably is the best way get messages that way.
- 4:26I mean, just walk up and say hello.
- 4:28Or even if it looks like we're busy, just at least walk up, say
- 4:31hello. We'll try to make as much time
- 4:32as we can come stop by what's at Copper Leaf 7, where we're going
- 4:36to be recording and, you know, watch an episode and try to
- 4:39catch us. Maybe, you know, before or after
- 4:41an episode begins or ends, like, that's probably the best, the
- 4:44best spot. But seriously, you know, for
- 4:46anybody who wants to say hello or get a official fist bump of
- 4:48gratitude for listening, just literally just, you know, grab
- 4:52my arm or say hey Jeff or whatever, I'm happy to to stop
- 4:55and chat. Absolutely, yeah.
- 4:57Someone, someone messaged me and you know the real listener when
- 5:02they bring up something you said on one of the episodes, and it
- 5:06was, I was in the Atlanta airport the other day and I it
- 5:10didn't smell like a bathroom to me.
- 5:12It didn't for me either. I gotta tell you, I had a
- 5:14terrible flight home from Chicago that lasted from Sunday
- 5:19into Monday because of weather in the actual area.
- 5:23And I had to exit the airport and I didn't smell anything.
- 5:26So you know, if you listen to that episode, hope it sounds to
- 5:30me or it smelled to me like Atlanta had their their act
- 5:32together well. You know, I mean, you're like a
- 5:37pro traveler at this point. And I remember when I first
- 5:42started traveling, those kind of episodes would drive me badly.
- 5:46Like, you know you're supposed to be leaving at 4:00 and get
- 5:50there at 6:00 and then just just delayed, delayed.
- 5:53They cancel the flight at 1:00 in the morning.
- 5:56You go take a hotel, sleep for an hour, then come back for a
- 5:596:00 AM flight. It gets push, push, push.
- 6:02You finally wind up getting home at like two or three in the
- 6:05after. You're just like I probably
- 6:07could have walked home faster. I definitely could have I I
- 6:10could have driven home from Chicago faster than it took for
- 6:13me to get just from Atlanta to Asheville.
- 6:16I got to Atlanta, no problem from Chicago.
- 6:18It was just, you know, there's weather and I get it, clouds and
- 6:21stuff like that. You know first what problems.
- 6:23You know my magical chair in the sky couldn't get me to where I
- 6:26needed to go in in the time frame that I expected.
- 6:31Oh well, what are you going to? Do Yeah.
- 6:33So you know, as far as the podcasting schedule, we've got
- 6:38two podcasts lined up on Tuesday morning.
- 6:40I know a lot of folks are flying in Tuesday morning.
- 6:43If you're flying in, it's probably, you're probably not
- 6:46going to get there in time to see us Podcast live Wednesday.
- 6:52At this point, it's looking like we're not going to be podcasting
- 6:54on Wednesday. It's like a.
- 6:56Free day. Like we may pull random stuff to
- 6:59happen that day. We could, yeah.
- 7:01But we don't want to make any promises yet because they're not
- 7:04scheduled, right. But Thursday we should do three
- 7:07episodes, So mid morning through mid afternoon.
- 7:10Like you said, Copper Leaf 7 is the room where we'll be.
- 7:15Hopefully we have like one of these style of, you know,
- 7:19placards in front of the room, but even if not, you know,
- 7:22Copper Leaf 7 is where we'll be and we would love to have you
- 7:25just drop in and listen. Yeah, come see the session.
- 7:29Also that I'm moderating around Cape, Continuous Access
- 7:33Evaluation profile, shared signals framework.
- 7:36That'll be fun and interesting. I had a prep session earlier
- 7:38today with the with the group to talk about what we're going to
- 7:41talk about. I don't want to spoil the
- 7:44surprise, but there will be things for audience members to
- 7:47obtain. I don't want Sean to get mad at
- 7:49me, so I don't know and I'm not. I don't know if that's a secret
- 7:52or not, but I would just say if you attend there is the
- 7:55opportunity to receive something related to Cape and SSF and
- 8:00things like that. Hopefully that's cryptic enough
- 8:03to drive people in and I balance the line where Sean doesn't get
- 8:06out of me. Well, Sean is from Disney.
- 8:11So when you said it was. I can tell you it's not anything
- 8:13Disney related. I was disappointed when you said
- 8:16it was related to Cape and not to Disney.
- 8:19It is, yeah. It's yeah, it's not the Iron Man
- 8:21outfit or anything like that. I would love to have like that.
- 8:23But no, it is. It is not that.
- 8:26But you know kind of a neat little thing to be to may be
- 8:29received. Definitely a limited edition,
- 8:31Let's put it that. Way.
- 8:32Yeah. The other thing I'll mention is
- 8:34like if you if you're getting there and you haven't kind of
- 8:37like solidified your after hour schedule Tuesday night we are Co
- 8:42hosting an event, Identity the Center Podcast, RSM and Taos
- 8:48Group were having a happy hour at the Lift bar, which is in the
- 8:53Aria in my opinion is like the best bar in the area.
- 8:58I've only been there and Jim would know 'cause one time, but
- 9:01you know, and I've already formulated opinion on the best,
- 9:04but I'll say that, you know, we'd love to have folks there.
- 9:09I'm not really sure where we are in terms of the list.
- 9:12I'm not managing it this year, but we might already be getting
- 9:15close to full. But either way, best way to to
- 9:18reach out is LinkedIn Direct Messages, and we'll keep an eye
- 9:22on that during the week. Yeah, there's a guest list and a
- 9:25registration link. So I'm limited spots, so I know
- 9:28I've sent out a couple already. But if you're interested in
- 9:30attending, hit us up on LinkedIn.
- 9:32We can provide the link. And like you said, Jim, we're
- 9:35not in charge of the list, but you know, hopefully we can, you
- 9:38know, maybe influencer, we can get some listeners in as well.
- 9:41Yeah, you and I will probably be hanging out when we do have free
- 9:44time. We're not podcasting or you're
- 9:47not facilitating. We'll be at the Taos Group
- 9:53booth, what they've allowed us to kind of like park ourselves
- 9:55there. So that's going to be a good way
- 9:58to to find us as well. Yeah, probably bounce around
- 10:01between sessions and stuff like that too.
- 10:02So yeah, you know, actually attending the conference and
- 10:06hopefully hearing from people and learning stuff.
- 10:08That's a foreign concept to me, man.
- 10:10It's like we've gone to the conferences so many times and
- 10:14like barely been able to go to sessions.
- 10:16But every year I go determined that this this year is going to
- 10:19be different. I'm going to hit more sessions.
- 10:21And you know, this year, especially with Wednesday being
- 10:25kind of an open day for me, you have the the session, I'll be
- 10:29there for your session. But before and after that, I'm
- 10:32planning to hit as many sessions as possible.
- 10:35And always, as always, the keynotes are, you know, I'm
- 10:38always there for the cue notes, yeah.
- 10:40You know, it's is it sad that one of the things I'm looking
- 10:42forward to is getting a new headshot done.
- 10:47So you know, pro, pro tip, if you don't have a headshot, go
- 10:50get one. Like conferences are a great
- 10:52time to do that. You stand in line for a couple
- 10:54minutes, you get a few, you know, high quality pictures
- 10:57taken, and boom, you've got a new headshot.
- 11:00Absolutely. So during the day when you
- 11:03decide to wear your business casual clothes.
- 11:06Right. Or at least not your Metallica
- 11:08T-shirt crop, right? Or hey, if you want to wear
- 11:10Metallica sheet AT shirt, that's fine.
- 11:12I mean, that just more personality, right?
- 11:14Yeah, who knows, Maybe you know, Metallica's hiring and they want
- 11:17to look for an identity person to gatekeep.
- 11:19You know all their their secret recordings.
- 11:24Probably not, but yeah. Hey man, I can dream.
- 11:29Yeah. What?
- 11:30You know, I feel like this is our last chance to do a promo.
- 11:33Also, for it, should we mention our discount code?
- 11:35Even though, like, at this point, man, you should, we
- 11:38really should have registered for you to show up at
- 11:39identivers, yeah? Yeah, if you're counting the
- 11:43discount code now, that will be a record.
- 11:46I don't think anybody's ever used it on the day before the
- 11:48conference, but right. Why don't you go ahead and give
- 11:51it one more time? Yeah, and it'll be in our show
- 11:53notes too, but IDV 2, four dash, IDAC 25, if you like, just
- 11:58decide on a whim to hop on a plane or you're in the Vegas
- 12:01here and you're like, oh, I'm going to stop by identiverse and
- 12:04just casually do that. You know, that gets you 25% off
- 12:07and hopefully it works on the same day.
- 12:08Actually, I don't even know. Hopefully it works.
- 12:10But yeah, if if that's something that you that you forget to
- 12:14register, that has happened before.
- 12:16I won't name names, but somebody did show up and it wasn't me.
- 12:21Showed up and realized that they did not register and had to pay
- 12:26same day rates to get in the conference.
- 12:29It's definitely not me this year.
- 12:31Usually I registered and then I checked with one of our folks on
- 12:35the inside at the conference to make sure that my registration,
- 12:38even though I had all the confirmation emails, it's just I
- 12:41didn't want to be that guy. Yeah, so I know we planned on
- 12:45making this episode a little bit shorter, but we should probably
- 12:47talk about something identity related.
- 12:50There was a report, The 2024 State of Passwordless Identity
- 12:55Assurance that just came out produced by Hyper.
- 12:58Do you want to talk a little about that?
- 13:00Kind of just set the table for you.
- 13:03Yeah, Yeah. I mean you know the the basis of
- 13:06the report is about organizations were surveyed in
- 13:11terms of you know what kind of identity related breaches
- 13:15they've experienced, what percentage of those
- 13:19organizations have experienced those breaches.
- 13:23I think my biggest takeaways, I mean I I went through the
- 13:26document really quickly and just released yesterday, the take
- 13:30away was like what a high percentage of organizations are
- 13:34running into these breaches like something like 75% and of those
- 13:40like over 90% was either the credentials were fumble or the
- 13:45authentication was weak. So those are two things that
- 13:48really jumped out at me. Yeah, I what What jumped out at
- 13:54you from that report? Well, I had three numbers that I
- 13:57had picked out and you picked one of them which was 91% of
- 14:02breached organizations basically said that authentication
- 14:05weaknesses were a leading cause of why they had an issue.
- 14:09So that's a lot to attribute to it.
- 14:12You mentioned this, it was 78% experience, some sort of
- 14:14identity based attack. I got two other numbers for you.
- 14:19Let's let's see if you can guess.
- 14:21The average cost of authentication related breaches
- 14:25in the last 12 months was X million dollars.
- 14:31Solve for X. Oh, it's at least one million,
- 14:35though. You're giving me that hint.
- 14:36I am. All right.
- 14:38I was going to say 2 million. Nope. $5.48 million five and a
- 14:45half basically to solve for to fix you know authentication
- 14:49related breaches. So you know it's probably a
- 14:51decent qualification there. They're talking about not all
- 14:53breaches breaches that were based on authentication.
- 14:56That's a lot of money you know. Hopefully that gives folks out
- 14:59there some some ammunition to basically say hey we probably
- 15:03should have MFA in place and conditional rules, adaptive
- 15:06rules, maybe go pass worthless or you know the alternative is
- 15:10this is something you might be looking at paying out in the
- 15:12future if you have fall prey to this attack.
- 15:16Yeah, 544 million dollars is going to show up on your annual
- 15:19report, you know and that's to me kind of one of the litmus as
- 15:23of you know, how bad was it. It's not something you just kind
- 15:27of keep within your department and again we'll let that happen.
- 15:31Again, that's a potentially a career limiting type of event to
- 15:36take place, so. But I think.
- 15:41You know who's really surprised by that?
- 15:44When you talk about like a breach taking place and data
- 15:47being exfiltrated from your organization or ransomware being
- 15:52planted on your systems, what What choice do you have really,
- 15:57but to pay the ransom or at least deal with the consequences
- 16:02of that? Or if your data is exfiltrated,
- 16:05providing services like identity protection services to the
- 16:09individuals affected. Plus your PR groups out there,
- 16:12like, you know, trying to make it sound like it's not as it
- 16:17really probably was. Yeah.
- 16:20So this cost is trying to mount and mount and mount.
- 16:24Yeah. And if I had, if I had to add up
- 16:27all the credit monitoring stuff that I have for free because of
- 16:30breaches, I think I'm good for the next couple decades.
- 16:34It seems like the de facto thing.
- 16:35But let's see, there was another number. 89% of organizations
- 16:41believe passwordless authentication provides the
- 16:44highest level of security. Now obviously you know this was
- 16:48hyper and they are a vendor that plays in this space, but that's
- 16:52a pretty decent number. I wonder what the other 11%
- 16:54think when it comes to why they don't consider passwordless the
- 16:57highest level of authentication. I wonder if it's maybe I can I
- 17:01have any insurance levels or they're thinking maybe you know
- 17:04some super Uber cryptography and you know or maybe it's the
- 17:09other. Way around maybe they think MFA
- 17:13plus password is good enough. Could be.
- 17:17I mean, you know, it's I'm not going to pick on any
- 17:20organization specifically, but you see it happen so often where
- 17:25it's like they have a high end MFA tool like the Azure
- 17:30Authenticator where it'll throw a number on the screen.
- 17:33And it used to be like OK pick one of these three hacker, fig
- 17:36just get lucky. So but now it's like oh you see
- 17:41the number on the screen if entered in.
- 17:44So like, I think that MFA tool is really strong, but you'll
- 17:49have those same organizations that have that doing draconian
- 17:53password reset rules like change your password every. 90 days and
- 17:59it's. Got to be 16 characters long.
- 18:01It's got to have upper and lower.
- 18:03It's gotta, you know, it can't have been reused in the last 20
- 18:08passwords. And it's like, man, you're not
- 18:11following like the NIST recommendations.
- 18:14And if you think you can do it better than NIST, yeah, yeah,
- 18:21so. You know what drives me crazy is
- 18:24you've got, you know, a modern, very good authentication
- 18:28platform like an Azure or even an Octa, and you've got all the
- 18:31bells and whistles and you don't enforce MFA everywhere, right?
- 18:36You've got some other system that's like, we don't have MFA
- 18:38on that one, but hey, we've got it on these other, you know, 80
- 18:41systems. Guess where?
- 18:43Guess where the targeted attacks are gonna go?
- 18:46Yeah. Yeah.
- 18:48So I think that could explain some of the other 11%.
- 18:53I think there's also just a portion of the population that
- 18:59probably doesn't know. Yeah, because pastoralist is
- 19:03like on the multi, wouldn't call it like multiple choice.
- 19:10They might just say. That's not a real thing.
- 19:11You can't get rid of passwords. It's not a real thing.
- 19:14They're not keeping it up and it's like no, this is real.
- 19:16It's really your now. But I so from what I've been
- 19:20reading is that one of the things that we're going to have
- 19:24Andrew Shakyar as one of our guests at Identiverse and so
- 19:29supposedly he's going to announce some news right here.
- 19:33So make sure you're downloading episodes over the next two weeks
- 19:37as we're dropping them. But what I've I've read
- 19:40somewhere was that Fido is starting to say, OK yeah we we
- 19:44kind of like come so far with the past years and it's the best
- 19:48form of authentication for web applications like possession
- 19:52based authentication. But now, what's the next?
- 19:56What's the next? Generation of improvement and
- 20:02it's like the identity verification process, you know,
- 20:06doing a validated or verified credential, I'll say you're not
- 20:12proofing. Like non web apps is also too
- 20:14like that's always a challenge is like I don't think like SSO
- 20:18and MFA is a challenge if you're already online, but what if you
- 20:21have like a legacy app or an on Prem app or something like that
- 20:24where it's not web-based right? You say like proxies and stuff
- 20:27like that. Sometimes that could be an
- 20:29interesting use case to try to figure out how to put passwords
- 20:31in front of that. I know there's third party
- 20:33vendors that that do some of that work, but that could be an
- 20:36interesting evolution too. Right.
- 20:39Yeah. But I think like the identity
- 20:41proofing is really, I mean that resonates with me.
- 20:44Like if you have the identity right and you're doing an
- 20:48identity proofing process where you're maybe picking up some
- 20:51factors that can be used for either the authentication or for
- 20:56resetting the credentials if you will.
- 20:59So in other words, you're doing that live selfie test, and so
- 21:03rather than just having a pass a magic link sent to your e-mail
- 21:07when you need to reset your password or reset your
- 21:10credential, you have to go through the live selfie test
- 21:13again. And are you the same person?
- 21:15Every single time. Maybe that's when you start
- 21:19getting into human repention. Oh, here, I know.
- 21:21Here's what's next. We just what we should invent, a
- 21:23tiny little camera that sits at the top of your screen and it's
- 21:27just always watching you to make sure that it's always you.
- 21:30Big Brother. Yeah, Anything else from the
- 21:34report that you want to talk about, 'cause we're gonna have a
- 21:36we'll have a link in our show notes for people to go out and
- 21:38get a copy of it themselves now. You know, here's like even
- 21:42though in the end again you mentioned like how this report
- 21:46came from Hyper and the conclusion that it came to
- 21:51around Pastor Lewis, definitely, you know, matches up with their
- 21:55marketing message, I still think it's very beneficial when
- 21:59organizations are out there and providing real world research to
- 22:05the community. So I think that's something I
- 22:07wanted to highlight like when we get an opportunity to to find
- 22:11these reports, share the information, share the link and
- 22:14for folks to go out there and download the report, read up on
- 22:17it. You know, sharpen yourself.
- 22:20Sharpen your own soul. Yeah, I mean he's little like,
- 22:23you know, numbers and little Nuggets of information are great
- 22:26at parties, right? Hey, what's going on era world.
- 22:28Well, did you know that 75% expect AI to provide an
- 22:31advantage over over cybercriminals?
- 22:36I need to read the report and see what that means.
- 22:38But I mean, certainly AI is everywhere, but you know, now
- 22:41it's obviously the identity in that security space too.
- 22:44Yeah, you can tell them. Really fun at parties.
- 22:46AI And we're gonna be using AI, so it's.
- 22:49Telling really fun at parties because I'm bringing up facts
- 22:51like this. Oh yeah, identity parties in any
- 22:56way. Yeah, exactly.
- 22:59What else do we want to talk about?
- 23:00We were trying. We're trying to make this a
- 23:01little bit of a shorter episode. I think making a shorter episode
- 23:05makes a lot of sense because we can see if you know, people like
- 23:08the shorter episodes or if the long format that we've been
- 23:14doing for the last five years, I think we've been trying to do
- 23:16shorter episodes for five years and it's like this is going to
- 23:20be a shorter episode. It winds up being an hour and 15
- 23:23minutes. Yeah.
- 23:24I'd be curious to hear from folks if they'd rather have
- 23:26something that's more like half an hour or an hour or we
- 23:30generally try to shoot for 45 minutes.
- 23:32But sometimes conversation is just so good and sometimes it
- 23:34takes a little bit to get to the actual conversation that we run
- 23:37a little bit long. But I'm curious to see what
- 23:39people think and take that feedback and maybe do.
- 23:43Something we're also like now that we've been doing more video
- 23:46of, people are enjoying the video or sticking to the audio.
- 23:50I think we're going to do both, regardless of what people's
- 23:55opinion is, right your opinion. Doesn't matter.
- 23:56We're going to do both the. Video opinion doesn't matter,
- 23:58but please share it with us anyway.
- 24:00No, but I mean, I've listened to mostly audio podcasts, so I do
- 24:06watch some podcasts on video that are more like TV shows.
- 24:10But podcasts like ours I listen to on audio.
- 24:14We're not doing anything like crazy in the video.
- 24:16Yeah, I don't listen to podcasts.
- 24:18Those are stupid. What else?
- 24:23Anything else? Or should we wrap it up?
- 24:25Let's wrap it up, man, I was. Trying to think of a lighter
- 24:27note question, and I didn't really think of anything, so
- 24:29it's gonna be just kind of off the cuff here.
- 24:33What is the worst thing that you can think of to do in Vegas next
- 24:39week? What do you absolutely not want
- 24:41to do? So don't want to stay out and
- 24:46party till like the sun comes up because you're probably not
- 24:51going to go to any of the sessions the following day.
- 24:54I'm not trying to be like poo poo old grandpa get off my lawn.
- 24:58I'm just giving some advice. The same advice I think we've
- 25:02given a million times is like pace yourself and I think that
- 25:08both. There's always going to be
- 25:09parties to go to. There's always going to be like
- 25:12craft stables to go to do those things for doing in moderation.
- 25:17And then I would say like the to flip the script on that
- 25:21question. Some things that are fun to do.
- 25:23I think the shows in Vegas are like, incredible.
- 25:26Every show I've been to is awesome.
- 25:28We're doing two different shows that I haven't done before.
- 25:32One's called Shim Lim. He's a magician over at The
- 25:36Mirage. The Mirage is only going to
- 25:38exist for another two months and then we're going to the sphere.
- 25:43So that's cool. We're just, yeah, I'm really
- 25:45excited about that. I mean, it just seems like such
- 25:47a great experience. So how are you?
- 25:51I don't have any fancy plans like that.
- 25:53My brother's going to be in town, so we'll probably get some
- 25:55dim sum off strip or something like that.
- 25:59But I'm the same way. I think, you know, staying up
- 26:01all night, that is a a young man's game and I am no longer
- 26:04that. So I need my beauty sleep to try
- 26:06and take care of this ugly mug. But I think not taking advantage
- 26:12of the city of Vegas is something that I don't want to
- 26:17not do. Great food, great people
- 26:20watching. This is an opportunity, one of
- 26:22the best conferences in the year for identity, to talk with
- 26:24people in the space, get their opinions on things, stuff like
- 26:27that. So I'm trying to take full
- 26:28advantage of it can hopefully I can attend more sessions than I
- 26:30normally do. So I'm hopeful that I will not
- 26:33be in Copper Leaf 7, just straight editing the whole time.
- 26:38Yeah. No, I mean, there's so much,
- 26:42there's so much to experience. So take it all in.
- 26:46Just pace yourself. All right.
- 26:48This might be a record for us. The clock that as I'm watching
- 26:51this is 25 minutes, almost 26 minutes.
- 26:53We'll go ahead and wrap it up for this week.
