- 0:23McDonald and Jeff Steadman, welcome to the entity of the
- 0:27center podcast I'm Jeff and that's Jim.
- 0:29Hey Joe Jim. Hey Jeff.
- 0:31How are you? Good, you seemed a little bit
- 0:34like like slightly delayed there for a second.
- 0:37Well, you know, my deal like this is bad allergy season them,
- 0:41a bad allergy. Sufferer.
- 0:44By the time this episode goes live though, it should be all
- 0:47better here. It'll be April.
- 0:51Will be the beginning of Stress Awareness Month and I don't
- 0:56know. Do you have any plans for
- 0:57Stress, Awareness Month? How are you going to Handle
- 1:00stress better starting in April. You know, I'll be honest.
- 1:05I feel like I handle stress extremely well.
- 1:09Like I just don't feel stressed. Generally speaking, I think the
- 1:12most stressful like job I ever had was working at Chili's of
- 1:15five table section on a Friday night that has prepared me for
- 1:18life. Like, there's no job harder than
- 1:20that. I'll tell you right now.
- 1:21So shout out to all my food service peeps.
- 1:23I am totally there. I'd I totally get it.
- 1:26I feel like I'm, you know, I got through that and like, okay, so
- 1:30I missed a period on a sentence somewhere.
- 1:33I'm good. Well, you gotta you gotta
- 1:35remember that this episode is broadcasting to thousands of
- 1:38people who are like, what's this dude, talking about my life is
- 1:41stress, you know, everybody's dealing with Stratus when he
- 1:44handles it differently. Yeah.
- 1:45Maybe I just internalize it, I don't know.
- 1:47Maybe I just, maybe it's just my laissez-faire attitude.
- 1:50I don't know. I mean, I certainly, you know,
- 1:53have You know, convictions to get things done and want to do a
- 1:58good job and stuff like that, and obviously don't want to make
- 2:00mistakes anything, but I don't know.
- 2:03I feel like stress or things that if I can't control it, that
- 2:06it immediately gets flushed out of my Ram and goes into a hard
- 2:09disk somewhere, a tape archive, and don't even worry about it.
- 2:12Yeah, I did, I did hear somebody say, one time like stress is not
- 2:17actually something real. Like you can't have a bucket
- 2:21full of stress, it doesn't exist in the real world.
- 2:24It's all something that we Create in our mind.
- 2:28However, I've got plenty of it in my mind, my plan for the
- 2:32beginning of April's. I'm going to take a nice long
- 2:33vacation happens to be spring break here.
- 2:37Yeah, I take a little time off that usually helps me reset.
- 2:40The, the stress counter Troy quite a bit, but more on the
- 2:44identity management topic. I've been thinking a lot about,
- 2:48you know, from a strategy perspective, when you're
- 2:50building your IM strategy or your see, I am strategy.
- 2:55She a customer. I am strategy is one of the
- 2:58things that you have to do. We still go through this battle
- 3:02is to define the scope of identity.
- 3:05What's identity data? And what is not?
- 3:08Because I think there are some things that are clearly in the
- 3:12realm of identity and identity data is things like your
- 3:17username and password are, you know, as black-and-white that's
- 3:21you know, credential data clearly falls into the scope of
- 3:25Access management, but then there's some, you know, metadata
- 3:29and other areas of, you know, things that are about you that
- 3:34belong in your business applications, right?
- 3:37And the reason I'm bringing this up, is they feel like when
- 3:40you're developing your? I am strategy.
- 3:43The Challenge questions that you're going to get are, you
- 3:46know. So, are you taking on this?
- 3:49Are you taking on that? So like one of the things I
- 3:53think from an IM strategy, Perspective, that's changed over
- 3:57time. Is that, you know, it's like
- 4:00centralization is just taken for granted, it's like you're moving
- 4:05towards centralizing the management of identity, just
- 4:09like, you know, it's taken for granted anymore that you don't
- 4:12even hardly ever look at Bill versus by you just assumed by.
- 4:16So now, it's like, what are you going to buyer?
- 4:17You know, you're not going to build your own identity
- 4:21management system, you're not going to build your own
- 4:23authentication system, but 10 15.
- 4:25Junior's ago, those serious question.
- 4:27Should we just build this ourselves?
- 4:29So I think that the same kind of question now.
- 4:32Okay. Well how far are you going to
- 4:34take centralization and you know, the bigger the environment
- 4:38you have it comes into okay like Master data management and, you
- 4:43know, coming up with a kind of a golden record of what that
- 4:47person is or what that identity is is that in your scope and I
- 4:54don't know From my perspective, it's not a black-and-white.
- 4:57Like, here's the best practice, it's this.
- 5:00It's kind of what your organization has to come up.
- 5:02With is like, yeah, our identity management team is going to take
- 5:07that. That's part of our strategy.
- 5:09We're going to do whatever draw the line wherever you want.
- 5:13I think that's really based on your organization.
- 5:16What you think it should be centralized?
- 5:20What is clearly a part of identity and access management
- 5:23for you? And then Be able to communicate
- 5:26that out. So what are your thoughts?
- 5:29Well, I mean thoughts on what that was a lot, I guess really
- 5:34its scope, right? That's it.
- 5:35Is that a I guess that's the fundamental part that I picked
- 5:38out of there is what is the scope here?
- 5:39I am program, what is the scope of your strategy?
- 5:41What are you trying to solve for?
- 5:43If you don't have that understood up front that you're
- 5:46going to go off and start solving problems that maybe you
- 5:48don't need to solve for shouldn't be self-solving pool?
- 5:50Yeah, I guess I mean I see your point and I guess that you're
- 5:53right and maybe I'm overthinking some of these things.
- 5:58But it seems to me that when you get into, we're going to draw up
- 6:02our identity management strategy.
- 6:04There's always going to be people on the other side who
- 6:06don't want parts of their applications.
- 6:09For example, put into a centralized system taken out of
- 6:13their applications management of profiles, for example, and so I
- 6:18think that you have to be if to step into that area very
- 6:24thoughtfully and do it in very intentionally and really think
- 6:27through those issues. Is like, okay, does this belong
- 6:30as part of this? You know Central, I am strategy
- 6:33for us. Well, that's all.
- 6:36Let me. So let me I sold it as a scope
- 6:39question because the I am program manager in me or the
- 6:43Cecil and me would say yes. Every application is in scope
- 6:47for identity and access management to what level or you
- 6:51know what the integration pattern looks like, can be a
- 6:54discussion with there shouldn't be a you know wild card out
- 6:57there some at that we don't know about.
- 7:00So whether the application is or is integrated for Go with rij
- 7:04platform or are privileged access platform or single sign
- 7:07or MFA, whatever it may be. But I think that's, I think.
- 7:10There are certain things that are non negotiables.
- 7:15It will be managed, it will be governed, the level of the
- 7:18government's, the level of the management is something that the
- 7:20organization will come to an agreement with and say, okay, we
- 7:23are going to take that one over because we want to make sure
- 7:25that it adheres these things, or maybe it's more decentralized,
- 7:28but there are still rules that that application still has the
- 7:30following. So for me, that's the way I look
- 7:32at it is everything is in Scope for management at least or
- 7:36governance. And you can Define what that
- 7:38means. The rest of it.
- 7:40Yeah, glass that comes back later.
- 7:43I think I guess that is. That's kind of the Black and
- 7:48White Version, right? That's the stuff that.
- 7:50Yeah. Okay, I agree.
- 7:51Authentication should be centralized.
- 7:53Usually you don't run into any battles except for where it's
- 7:57like, that's going to be a very difficult integration for us.
- 8:01But when it gets into authorization, entitlements
- 8:04roles like, oh, is your centralized?
- 8:07I am system that doesn't even exist today.
- 8:09Going to take that over from our application, which is so
- 8:12freaking complicated that, you know, even if you could land.
- 8:16Somebody on the moon, you can't figure out how our application
- 8:19works. Is that what you're saying?
- 8:22So that and then die again. You didn't like all this data
- 8:26that were collecting about the person.
- 8:27Like how much of this are you taking over?
- 8:29Are you going to start sending us the address for the person to
- 8:32our application? So I think that you have to go
- 8:35into that very consciously and first off you have to understand
- 8:38your environment and and kind of how far you're taking it.
- 8:40But you know, you have to think through those things before you
- 8:44just threw your strategy out there.
- 8:45Unless you have a very Receptive group that's going to help you
- 8:48brainstorm and work your way through it.
- 8:51But at that case, I'd say you're not in the final strategy but I
- 8:55think that you need to think through those things.
- 8:57Especially around identity data around authorization, how far
- 9:03you're going to take your. I am strategy or I am system
- 9:07tools and processes that you're going to be implementing.
- 9:10Are you going to do registration for all users?
- 9:13Okay, you're going to do registration.
- 9:14Are you just going to create the assignment?
- 9:16Union account or you going to take over everything?
- 9:20Are you going to run registration for all the pieces
- 9:23of data that we need to collect? Yeah, I think that's me and that
- 9:27goes back to the school questions.
- 9:28What's the level of integration? The scope is everything.
- 9:31Should be managed at some level. The management might be none, or
- 9:36the manager might be full, right.
- 9:38We're going to take it over directly out of your hands and
- 9:40not even doing it, you know, let you touch it anymore.
- 9:42And the truth is I think most organizations fall somewhere in
- 9:44between of all those different options, so be some apps.
- 9:46Are disconnected, but they're still known and govern, and
- 9:49have, you know, compliance things they have to adhere to
- 9:52and security, whatever it may be.
- 9:55And then you've got the other ones, of course, you want to
- 9:56pull into a single sign-on or MFA and simplify the environment
- 10:00right now. I don't think there's any,
- 10:01there's many IM programs out there.
- 10:03They're like, no. We don't want to put, you know,
- 10:05any of I, all of our apps on Tessa.
- 10:07So I think that should be like the default standpoint and then
- 10:10from there, you decide, okay, what are the exceptions that
- 10:12come out of it rather than trying to approach it from the
- 10:14other side of it? Yeah, and I think this is an
- 10:18area where, you know, Enterprise I am Workforce.
- 10:22I am kind of falls into much more predictable patterns, when
- 10:27you get into the customer, I am side of the house.
- 10:30It's really looking at, okay? Like what are the problems that
- 10:32you're trying to solve and really having to build an
- 10:35approach that has to be flexible?
- 10:37Based on, you know, what is the environment that you're building
- 10:41into? Yeah, well customer I am is is a
- 10:44totally different beast and I think, I think you and I talked
- 10:46about that before where there's clearly a difference between the
- 10:49two and for those that are in the know, I think they get it
- 10:52but they think there's still a lot of organizations.
- 10:55Maybe you aren't a similar to I am they just see.
- 10:56I am as I am and not Enterprise Workforce consumer vendor
- 11:02partner customer right whatever might look like for them.
- 11:05There's there are very clear differentiations between the two
- 11:09especially then when you start getting into the global aspect
- 11:12of Right? You got, you know, gdpr versus
- 11:15HIPAA versus, you know, regulations all around the world
- 11:18that throw, wrenches, and into things, and makes it even that
- 11:21much more difficult. Absolutely.
- 11:24And that's where it's like, you can't be an expert in
- 11:27everything. But, you know, when you start
- 11:30to, I could pretend to be when you build that industry
- 11:34knowledge on top of subject matter.
- 11:35Expertise, you know, I was actually thinking we could shift
- 11:39the conversation into Converse space because I think this is
- 11:42This is the kind of conversations.
- 11:44I love to have over a beer or coffee and just, you know, the
- 11:48or the Hulk little bit more than small talk is like when you get
- 11:52into talking to people about, okay, what are the kind of
- 11:54problems that you're solving? That's what I love doing at
- 11:57conferences, and I'm so glad they're face-to-face.
- 12:00Again, obviously, sitting in sessions hearing people talk,
- 12:03that's fantastic, but it says one-on-one conversations or even
- 12:07small group conversations over a beer that can't be beat and I
- 12:12know you and I are planning on attending the identifiers
- 12:15conference and kind of bringing the the full force of the
- 12:19identity of the center podcast to identify verse broadcasting,
- 12:23would dozens of megabits per second, depending on where we
- 12:27happen to be. Yeah.
- 12:29Will be an identity versus I'm not sure yet what that was going
- 12:31to look like. I think we're still sort of in
- 12:33the process of getting that figured out, I think we're going
- 12:36to have some sort of if it's not already live.
- 12:38I think people here this some sort of discount code maybe even
- 12:40for people to be able to take advantage Age of.
- 12:43So maybe we'll you know let's kick down a fourth wall.
- 12:46I recording us it's March 8th identity versus told you a few
- 12:50months out of this point. Still cross the game.
- 12:52Things set up, maybe there will be like some pre-roll ad type
- 12:57thing that we do ahead of time before this part errors, and
- 13:00then we'll just like, oh go point back to that, right?
- 13:03Whatever that code was. And then you just, you know,
- 13:05overwrite it with whatever I'm saying right now.
- 13:09Yeah. And like most things on this
- 13:10podcast, you know, the discount code is meant for the people.
- 13:14We're not going to make any money from it.
- 13:16Just like the podcast. We don't make any money from it.
- 13:18We actually lose money on it because we buy fancy microphones
- 13:22and headsets all the time out of our own pocket.
- 13:25Yeah. Is purely for those.
- 13:26This is very cool that Dennis has partnered up with it on a to
- 13:28so definitely it's tongue-in-cheek but yeah
- 13:31definitely something that hopefully our listeners can
- 13:33benefit from you know discounts a discount which is great
- 13:35especially if you folks are on the fence you know, haven't
- 13:37haven't. Registered yet.
- 13:39It doesn't retroactively apply as my minor settings.
- 13:41So, if you haven't registered yet, find out our discount code
- 13:45and then use it and then save yourself.
- 13:46We'll get money and then and then what do we do with that
- 13:49extra money? Jim that 20% What would what
- 13:53would we do in terms of? Like if we had, you tell your
- 13:57company, Oh, it's going to be this and then just kind of.
- 14:02Yeah, well, look, you know, I battled hard to get these
- 14:05savings for the company. I'm flying the flag of the good
- 14:10corporate citizen, there's a Twitter joke in there about the
- 14:13recent kerfuffle, the guy Elon Musk was talking with saving
- 14:18money, but we'll get in that. All right.
- 14:20I think we're getting off the rails here but yeah, hopefully
- 14:22people are Denver's. It'll be May 30th to June 2nd at
- 14:25the Aria Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
- 14:29Fighter discount code wherever it is.
- 14:31Maybe I'll put something on the website, I'll probably sure,
- 14:33whole blasted all over Twitter and Macedon and Lincoln said
- 14:36like that one's got it ready to go.
- 14:38So should we talk about today's topic?
- 14:40Because I feel like this has been as kind of a long intro to
- 14:42get to identity management day 2023.
- 14:45What do you think? I was going to say maybe that's
- 14:47another episode maybe just cut it here.
- 14:50Start a new episode. Yeah we could do that.
- 14:53Well it's not because we've got a couple folks here that I have
- 14:55been very gracious to join us. We've got actually We're going
- 14:58to be talking about identity management day 2023 and that is
- 15:03part of what we've been helping out with the past as well.
- 15:06We've got identity to find security alliance members here.
- 15:08Idsa we've got Julie Smith. She's the founding executive
- 15:11director. This is her sixth appearance on
- 15:14the show. We don't have jackets or
- 15:16t-shirts that we hand out for that many guests but maybe we'll
- 15:19send a sticker or something like that out and she's smiling here.
- 15:24So. Hello Julie.
- 15:26Tim Jeff, good to see you. Is always Aureus speak to you
- 15:31guys. Well, we got the slide.
- 15:33The cat has yet to make an appearance in any of your
- 15:35appearances, so she's always on the lap.
- 15:38Okay, so maybe we'll hear purring at some point or, maybe
- 15:41not. But we're happy to have both of
- 15:43you guys back on the show. We've also want to introduce a
- 15:45new member of the team. His name is Jeff Rich, he's the
- 15:49executive director for idea. Say welcome to the show.
- 15:52Jeff, thank you very much, Jeff. It's a pleasure to be here.
- 15:55I really appreciate it and look forward to Ocean with both Jim
- 15:59and you? Yeah.
- 16:00Well, other than having, you know, the most excellent Name.
- 16:04What we like to do is find out really about identity, origin
- 16:07stories for people. So how do they get into the
- 16:09identity World? Julie has been on again.
- 16:11This is our sixth appearance. I will Point people back to
- 16:14episode 52. I think it was a 57, actually,
- 16:18that's what it was. That was your first episode, so
- 16:20you can go back and listen to Julie's origin story.
- 16:22But Jeff, it's your first time being on the show.
- 16:24How did you get into identity and access management?
- 16:27Is that something that You chose or did it choose you?
- 16:32It was really a combination of both vectors there.
- 16:36I've been in security, both physical security doing a little
- 16:40work for law enforcement and then focusing mainly and
- 16:43information security that alone for over 45 years and identity,
- 16:50and identity management has been part of security from the
- 16:52beginning. I think there are many people
- 16:54that are just now beginning to recognize that that security has
- 16:58to have. I Identity within it, you can't
- 17:00separate the two. So I've always had identity
- 17:03attack or what I'm doing with security and over the past few
- 17:06years, I've recognized more and more.
- 17:08When you look at data breaches ransomware and everything else,
- 17:11it's going on that hits the news, all I get are two related
- 17:14so identity at did that only its found me all along but now it's
- 17:19calling me. I feel like we've been shouting
- 17:21it from the rooftops people who are been sort of like a Daniel a
- 17:24Firs. I feel like for most of my
- 17:26professional career Jim's as well as I couid.
- 17:28I know how important it is but it seems like spend the last
- 17:31couple of years that that message is really started.
- 17:33Taking hold and I don't know if I want to credit zero trust or
- 17:36not Julie's playing yourself is like it was all the idea say
- 17:39baby identity management days. Yeah it's definitely definitely
- 17:44has I think growing in importance?
- 17:47Speaking of the idea of say Julie for folks who aren't
- 17:50familiar with that organization, give us like the 30m.
- 17:53And we've talked about the past that.
- 17:54Yeah, give us the kind of the overview of what the idsa is.
- 17:58Yeah, I think you guys just touched on exactly why we why we
- 18:02exist and it's all about helping Security leaders and
- 18:08organizations be identity smart and and it really is bringing
- 18:11together this identity and seek the to Identity or the identity
- 18:16and security domains and putting a focus there.
- 18:20So the idsa identity to find security Lyons is a non-profit.
- 18:24We provide thought, leadership, expertise, and practical
- 18:27guidance. On securing digital identities
- 18:31and we do that through vendor-neutral research,
- 18:34education through webinars and big events like identity
- 18:37management day. What we're going to talk about
- 18:39today and then best practices perspectives recommendations on
- 18:47how Security leaders can be identities are.
- 18:49So I, when I was introducing you, I mention that your the
- 18:52founding executive director, so my understanding is you're going
- 18:56to be retiring getting the drains.
- 18:58Over to Jeff. What is, you know?
- 19:01What's that like, right? Being kind of the first in that
- 19:04role and seeing this Rose for your organization of the last
- 19:07couple years, you know, what do you think?
- 19:09You're, you know, you're I guess what?
- 19:11Your favorite accomplishment during that time?
- 19:14That's a good one. It has been an incredibly
- 19:17rewarding. Well, I'll call it really 6
- 19:19years. So I've been involved in the
- 19:21idsa going back to my time at Optive.
- 19:25I kind of think of Optive is incubating.
- 19:27The eye. Entity to find security
- 19:29Alliance. It was started by Ping.
- 19:30Identity optic, got involved, we sort of grew it underneath the
- 19:34optimum Briella but then spun it out as a standalone entity about
- 19:38four years ago. So there's a lot of
- 19:40accomplishments 2.2 kind of going from this, you know, small
- 19:46somewhat unknown to hopefully, a much bigger and and more
- 19:49well-known organization. But I think the thing that has
- 19:53put us on the, on the map is identity management day, which
- 19:56is coming up here on this. Second Tuesday of April, happens
- 20:01every year this will be the third annual and this year to
- 20:03have happens to be April 11th. So I'm excited to talk more
- 20:09about that. But I would say, you know, just
- 20:11the fact that our organization, our research is getting picked
- 20:17up in quoted and referenced. In ways that I don't even know
- 20:22about it. Just happens to pop onto my
- 20:24radar every day. I think that's one of the
- 20:26biggest accomplishments. Is that we have gotten to that
- 20:30point? It's always fun when you go
- 20:32viral, right? I guess we're going to reasons
- 20:35or are good things Trail. What's next for you?
- 20:39Get question. I think I my plan right now is
- 20:47take some time off between now and the end of the year, spend
- 20:50some time as we've talked about before, right?
- 20:53I like golf, I like the cycle. I like to enjoy everything that
- 20:56is the Colorado Mountain. So spend time with friends and
- 21:01family and Significant other and travel and you know, just kind
- 21:05of enjoy life for a while and then figure out what the next
- 21:07chapter holds for me. I'm not exactly sure what that
- 21:10is. And I don't want to don't want
- 21:12to Define it while I'm still in the process of kind of wrapping
- 21:14up this part of, for this chapter in my life.
- 21:17So, I'll spend the next six months or eight months or so,
- 21:21trying to figure that out and it starts off to find exactly.
- 21:25It starts off with a week in Hawaii, where I've never been.
- 21:29So, I'm super excited about that.
- 21:32So as soon as identity management day wraps up, I'm on
- 21:35a plane. And out of here, I feel like
- 21:39running out, right? It's like, all right, well, you
- 21:42know, leave leave the meeting or the webinar, right?
- 21:44And on the 11th and the next thing you know, it's like all
- 21:47you see is like a puff of smoke and Julie's gone.
- 21:50She's like, you're in a black car on her way to the airport.
- 21:55Exactly was very cool. Yeah, I've never been, it's
- 21:58gonna be. Yeah.
- 21:58It's going to be awesome. Well and where I was going to go
- 22:01deaf I admitted that to cut you off there, where I was gonna go,
- 22:04is, I'm able to do that. And I'm able to leave in a, you
- 22:08know, puff of smoke because I'm super excited about Jeff.
- 22:13Rich taking over the reins and leading us into the future.
- 22:16And I've every every confidence that he's going to do great
- 22:19things for the idsa going forward.
- 22:21So just in the time that he and I have spent together in the
- 22:24transition mode over the last month or so, yeah, I'm ready to
- 22:28run and and and hand it off to Jeff.
- 22:31And I've Every confidence that he's gonna do an amazing job.
- 22:34So Jeff, what is, I guess, what is Julie leaving you with, you
- 22:38know? Is there like a to-do list is
- 22:40there is the autoresponder already on?
- 22:44You know, please. You know, please forward to
- 22:46Jeff, you know, all questions about this.
- 22:48Yeah, whatever. Maybe like, let's pretend she's
- 22:50not here, right? Everything's going to be her
- 22:52fault for the next year or so, right, all things, I think
- 22:55that's tradition whenever you leave my business always stuff.
- 22:59Yes. All is the last person's fault
- 23:00that we got to spend some Fixing it.
- 23:02Not that Julie, you know, we love Julie but what are the
- 23:05things that, you know, do you see on your plate coming up here
- 23:07in the next like, out of the Chute?
- 23:09Friday, I say, well, first of all, I want to say two things
- 23:13one. My number one objective is
- 23:15living up to the expectation. She just said in that
- 23:18transitional introduction, left me here.
- 23:22And no, she's not leaving it to do list.
- 23:25That, that doesn't mean there aren't things to do here without
- 23:27question. My list is overflowing, I Have
- 23:31to hand it to Julie. I'm going to take this public
- 23:34opportunity. He won't be the last time I do
- 23:35it. I do not know how she's done
- 23:37this for the past few years. I've been here a month working
- 23:41with her and with two of us, I'm thinking we can't get this all
- 23:44done. Then I realize a month ago, she
- 23:45was doing it herself. So amazing job by Julia to to
- 23:50build this up and get it to where it is.
- 23:54I think we are at a point now where idsa has grown from a core
- 23:59of identity providers and security providers to benefit
- 24:04the the community at large. I think now it's time to start
- 24:08expanding into the community large and getting more
- 24:10contributions from those not only that create identities and
- 24:15provide them and tools for them. But also the custodians of
- 24:17identities, which are a lot of the large Enterprises that may
- 24:22or may not have a good. I am program in place yet as an
- 24:26example and can benefit from learning about what the
- 24:30Professionals in idsa have to offer and thought leadership and
- 24:35start providing some of their own.
- 24:37Let me pad Julie on the back now.
- 24:38So, I think that one thing she brought to the table was amazing
- 24:43organizational skills or Grew idsa From nothing to where it is
- 24:48today and what, whatever it becomes would have never been
- 24:52had she not done that. but what I also always thought about
- 24:56Julie was that She's an identity person, she gets it.
- 25:02And I'm sure you would not be in this role if you didn't get it.
- 25:05So, Jeff as your inauguration into the identity at the center
- 25:10podcast, I'm going to ask you one of the tough questions that
- 25:13we've we've repeated on this podcast many times which is, you
- 25:19know, getting into the subject matter.
- 25:21What's the difference between I am and digital identity because
- 25:26Let me Give a Little Bit of background on that question.
- 25:29To me it almost felt like digital identity as a term was
- 25:35replacing identity and access management.
- 25:37We're talking about this industry of digital identity and
- 25:41so we we posed that question 2nd handle who is the organizer of
- 25:46they didn't reverse conference and was the president of the ID
- 25:49Pro that very question. You said that that's going to
- 25:54take me more than what we can fitted to this episode.
- 25:57So what Jeff and I Did was we put together an episode is one
- 26:00of our most downloaded popular episodes.
- 26:02And we asked a bunch of identity gurus.
- 26:08What's the difference between digital identity and identity
- 26:12and access management? I'm not as a test to you but to
- 26:16you, what is the difference? We could spend the next month
- 26:20talking about this, but but I think I have what I consider the
- 26:24difference because I am is more of the overall umbrella.
- 26:28Ella that has a combination of whether it's a tools you use or
- 26:33your policies or procedures and everything around.
- 26:37Obtaining identity, issuing identity, access controls.
- 26:41And managing that whole sphere together to me, digital identity
- 26:45is different because a digital identity is something that every
- 26:50one of us creates, whenever we do something in a digital Realm,
- 26:55And that includes actions access and in some cases, like, what
- 27:01websites, you visit, whatever Trails you leave.
- 27:05That becomes in my mind, part of your digital identity and it's
- 27:09not traditionally in my mind part of what has been accepted
- 27:13as identity and X identity access management.
- 27:16I am So, how different is that from?
- 27:19What you've been hearing from all the a?
- 27:21No I think that's a good. We've heard the exact opposite.
- 27:24We've heard exactly what you just said, you know, there's I
- 27:27can be convinced as your identity is the thumbprint.
- 27:30You know, you go and the crime scene has these fingerprints all
- 27:34over it and as the digital identities, right?
- 27:37That you leave behind, I think that was its kind of the analogy
- 27:40for you the trail, but I've also heard people say, digital
- 27:44identity is the umbrella identity access management is
- 27:47one of The the functions within that I am umbrella.
- 27:54So I mean I think everybody ultimately I think it's Did you
- 28:01just terms right? And what, what those terms,
- 28:03ultimately become our, how people intended for them to be
- 28:07understood when they use those terms?
- 28:09And so I kind of think the pissed definition that we got
- 28:13was from Alec fry goes by the the moniker for identity.
- 28:18Who said it's it's like football.
- 28:20Football is a ball but it's also this concept of a sport.
- 28:24That's an international phenomenon and it all depends on
- 28:29what you meant when you when you use the term football, what did
- 28:33you mean? And that's digital identity.
- 28:36Jeff, you have any thoughts? Are you talking to your Jeff?
- 28:41Yes, I'm gonna give it to me or not enough to many gifs.
- 28:47Well, Jeff and I have already decided, we're going to start
- 28:49our own podcast is me. Just just Jeff's talking to each
- 28:51other and you can only be on the show if your name is Jeff.
- 28:54So that's how that's going to roll.
- 28:56Maybe one of the younger, two year of study area.
- 29:00I'm with Alec on this one, you know, I think this is I think
- 29:03that's how I let off my my description as well as I think
- 29:06the context of the question matters, who were you talking to
- 29:11in what context? Because digital identity?
- 29:15Access management? All four words mean different
- 29:17things to different people spending all your talking to and
- 29:20when you combine them now you've got a bunch of different
- 29:22options. Where Jim you might say, okay,
- 29:24well, it means this to you. Jim and what I meant when I talk
- 29:27to someone else, you know, my wife or my daughter Dog.
- 29:31Right? It means different things to
- 29:32them or doesn't mean anything at all, right, could be that as
- 29:34well. So I think I think this, it's
- 29:37whatever it needs to be, but I think you have to recognize that
- 29:42and tailor your question and your conversation to poor,
- 29:45you're talking to and what is the context that that those
- 29:50terms mean to them? And make sure that you're you're
- 29:53speaking the language in a common in a common vernacular.
- 29:57Julie do you have your own take on this or you with Alex fry as
- 30:00well? We talked about it may be the
- 30:02last time I was on and I'm with Alex, I think digital identity
- 30:07is the thing and identity and access management is, you know,
- 30:12the broader umbrella of how you manage it, what's the life
- 30:16cycle? What are all the attributes that
- 30:18need to be defined about it but digital identity is the thing
- 30:22that we care the most about because it's the thing that's
- 30:24getting compromised, the most. So Jeff Ridge.
- 30:28Where is identity and access management heading.
- 30:30Well, it's heading at high speed right down the road, right down
- 30:35the middle of the road. And, and I say that, because for
- 30:39those, that don't know yet. If you haven't heard about, you
- 30:42know, data, breaches ransomware, anything else going on that bad
- 30:47on the internet? You know the dark web all of
- 30:51those things end up having or result in identity compromises.
- 30:57So because of all that I think identity and access Management
- 31:01is heading towards a little more standardization.
- 31:05I believe we, probably as much as I get the, it's all about
- 31:09context. I think we need to start to
- 31:10finding the context and saying, here's what identity means.
- 31:15And here's a value, we can start associating with it.
- 31:18I'm going to give you a real quick example.
- 31:20If you take a look at payment card information, there is an
- 31:25identity aspect to that. And when it's compromised, even
- 31:29though it may take a while, There is a remedy to it
- 31:32Healthcare information. If you have a given diagnosis
- 31:35for a disease, when that's compromised, how do you remedy
- 31:39that? You can't.
- 31:42So the value of that Healthcare information, on the big scale is
- 31:46probably a little more value than a little higher rather than
- 31:49the value of the payment card information.
- 31:52And if you expand that to all scopes of digital identity and
- 31:56identity and access management, I think it becomes a matter of
- 31:59defining the East stratifying different levels of value of
- 32:04identities. And because of that and
- 32:06associating that with value of resources, they may be
- 32:09accessing. You get into concept of things
- 32:11at the highest value. Maybe that's a really good
- 32:14opportunity to implement something like zero trust.
- 32:18When you're down at the lower end of value, maybe it's not
- 32:20worth the effort and time to do something like zero trust, but
- 32:23you still need some form of identification of the vacation.
- 32:26You know, those really good point and I think talk to your
- 32:30you're referencing kind of a risk based model as well.
- 32:34Jeff and I Jeff Stedman and I like to talk about this podcast
- 32:38has kind of a time capsule for the I am industry.
- 32:42We've had a lot of people who've been in this industry for a long
- 32:45time on the Podcast. Those episodes will always be
- 32:48out there for people to enjoy and to research.
- 32:53What would, what were they thinking back in the early, you
- 32:57know, back in 2019 or 2020. So what I'm going to ask you for
- 33:02is any bold predictions that you want to throw into the time
- 33:06capsule. So I have a prediction that some
- 33:09people may think of his bold. Some people may think it's
- 33:12impossible, but I believe that we have a future coming Forest
- 33:17where each of us are going to be in complete control of our own
- 33:21identity. Now, that doesn't mean it's
- 33:24controlled the way you want it to be.
- 33:26Because each of us, our control are in control of their own
- 33:28health, our own weight, and everything else, but that
- 33:30doesn't always work out the way we want.
- 33:32However, more and more in you're seeing privacy legislation start
- 33:36to drive. Rises towards this identity
- 33:39information from me should be controlled by me.
- 33:43I may give you access to it and I may determine how you can use
- 33:46it and I may revoke that access to it but it's still my identity
- 33:51and I'm going to control it in the u.s. especially that's not
- 33:54happening right now. We're nowhere near it and I
- 33:57believe my Bowl prediction is down the road, that is what
- 34:00we're going to have to do. Otherwise individuals will have
- 34:03no control over being able to say who they are, how they get.
- 34:07Credit, how they get access to anything, how they go to the
- 34:10movies, all of that going to be potentially compromised when
- 34:14they don't have appropriate control over their identity.
- 34:16So given that line of thinking I would expect at some point,
- 34:19we'll start to see some things along those lines and idsa
- 34:22content, will we see a thing like that?
- 34:24Maybe I got a management day or there any sessions that kind of
- 34:27touch on that cell Sovereign or decentralised?
- 34:29Are things coming up or is that still in the?
- 34:31So the Q because they know it's a it's a very meaty topic and I
- 34:34think there's a lot of confusion still in the space.
- 34:37Of blockchain For Better or Worse.
- 34:40Haven't been equated with decentralized identity again,
- 34:43for better or worse. Where do you think?
- 34:46Where do you see idsa? Tackling some of those, those
- 34:48topics? Well, I think you're going to
- 34:50see topics that that touch on privacy and privacy ends up,
- 34:54being the driver right now. For how that level of self
- 34:58control comes up now, you did ask for a bold prediction and
- 35:01I'm assuming you were thinking more than a month from now which
- 35:04is why I don't think you're necessarily going to see the
- 35:06solutions, right? A way for it.
- 35:08But I do believe you're going to see discussions about it because
- 35:12when you discuss privacy and importance of that and what
- 35:15happens when a leak occurs, you're going to see some
- 35:19solutions that are not talking that.
- 35:20Start talking about how an individual can exercise more
- 35:23control. However, I think that's going to
- 35:26have to happen in concert with governments, whether it's with
- 35:29the local state, or federal level.
- 35:31And dare, say even International standard.
- 35:34That's very bold at some point for that.
- 35:38And that is a slow move that part too slow moving train.
- 35:42So this I am that's going at high speed on this end of the
- 35:47road in the future. It's going to crash into that
- 35:50slow-moving train that our government regulations.
- 35:53And I would like to think what comes out of that is a good
- 35:57Common Sense approach to allowing individuals to be able
- 36:00to take control of their identity.
- 36:02Do I think it's going to happen this year?
- 36:03No, but I do think you'll see some topics that can At least
- 36:08touch on it at idea at and identity management day.
- 36:11I think it's interesting because it is something that seems to
- 36:13come up almost every conference. I've been to for the last year
- 36:18and every conference that I'm attending this year has some
- 36:20sort of track or topic, right? Even multiple kind of
- 36:24presentations on this concept of self Sovereign status and being
- 36:30able to part and parcel out portions of of your personal
- 36:34data out and how it should be used.
- 36:36And I think it's Sure if it will be solved in the next 5 years or
- 36:4010 years because they think there's a lot of questions of
- 36:43where will this be built? Who's going to administrate it?
- 36:46You know how easy is going to be used forever to use?
- 36:48This is going to create a second class experience for other
- 36:51people who aren't on you know that platform right?
- 36:54Those sorts of things. So be interesting to see how it
- 36:56kind of plays out. You mentioned identity
- 36:58management date. I know Julie this is sort of
- 37:00been your baby for the last couple of years now and I guess
- 37:06from a Attendee perspective, what should I be expecting on
- 37:11that day? And again, it's April 11th, the
- 37:13second Tuesday of April and we'll have a link on our show
- 37:15notes as well for people to check out and get more
- 37:17information for it. But I guess who is that?
- 37:20Who is identity management de designed for?
- 37:24Yeah, good question. So I would say it's designed for
- 37:26everybody. You know, when we started it
- 37:29three years ago, the idea came from one of my member companies
- 37:34at the time or Our member companies at the time.
- 37:38And with the idea that, you know, we need to put, we need to
- 37:42have a day just focused on this topic of securing, digital
- 37:45identities. And, and identity security is
- 37:47everybody's responsibility, right?
- 37:49Whether you're an organization protecting the identities of
- 37:52your customers and consumers, or whether you're an individual who
- 37:56has an employee identity, you need to protect, maybe you're
- 38:00working as a consultant. So you're a partner to an
- 38:03organization, you need to protect that digital Identity,
- 38:05or even your own personal digital.
- 38:07Leti right there. So everybody, everybody needs to
- 38:10be involved and do things that help to protect your identity.
- 38:16So individuals, you know, using strong passwords not reusing
- 38:20passwords, you know, not doing some of the, the silly things
- 38:24that I think that we all do that, you know, have a tendency
- 38:29to cause problems with our own personal dual identities but
- 38:32also helping organizations. Focus on the thing, the action
- 38:35items that they can the actions they can.
- 38:38Take to protect the digital identities, they have underneath
- 38:41their responsibility. So I'd say it's everybody.
- 38:44We partnered with the national cyber security Alliance to focus
- 38:48on the individual side and the small business side and the idsa
- 38:51is very much focused on the Enterprise, in the organization,
- 38:56bigger organization side of things.
- 38:57So, it's for everybody and what, you know, you mentioned there
- 39:03are asked the question about what to expect.
- 39:04I would say there's really two two main aspects Stu identity
- 39:09management day April 11th and one is the participation online.
- 39:14So the sharing of best practices amongst organizations we have
- 39:19hashtags, ID MGMT day 2023, as one be identities.
- 39:24Part is another and we're encouraging organizations and
- 39:28individuals to share best practices online through
- 39:33Twitter. Through Linkedin, sending out
- 39:36emails, writing blogs, Those kind of things and just sort of
- 39:39that online presence is one main aspect of identity management
- 39:42day. And then the second big element
- 39:46of identity management day is a virtual conference, which this
- 39:50is the second year and it's bigger than it was last year.
- 39:53So that's that's always good. It happens from 9 a.m. till 4:30
- 40:00eastern time. So I know the for the folks on
- 40:03the on the East Coast or 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 I guess it on the
- 40:07on the He's on the west coast, it's a little bit early but
- 40:11hopefully we'll have all the sessions recorded so they can go
- 40:15back and watch the sessions. They might have missed, but
- 40:18registration is free. Will have some raffle prizes.
- 40:22We've got six sessions that are presented by industry
- 40:25organizations. The national cyber security
- 40:27Alliance ID Pro open ID Foundation, Fido and sisya.
- 40:32We have five sponsored sessions presented by sponsor
- 40:36organizations. We'll have opportunities to
- 40:39engage with the exhibitors but also engage with each other
- 40:43through one-on-one. Networking tortoise is kind of
- 40:45similar to speed dating and then have a lounge for people to hang
- 40:49out during breaks where they can engage with other participants
- 40:52in the conference. So, you know, one one way to get
- 40:56involved right out of the gate. It's become a champion.
- 40:58You can go to our website, identity management, day.org and
- 41:03sign up as a champion, I know, Jeff and Jenn you guys are
- 41:06listed there. And then we'll list you on the
- 41:10website. You get an exclusive Champion
- 41:12tool kit with all kinds of resources that you can use to
- 41:14engage with and educate customers employees and
- 41:18communities. And so the champion program is
- 41:20not just for individuals but also for organization as well,
- 41:23who are focused on this topic of securing digital identity.
- 41:28So hopefully that kind of gives you a range of things and ways
- 41:33to get involved in what to expect.
- 41:35It's almost like you've done this before and you've been That
- 41:38question before. Very well, presented, April
- 41:4111th, it's an all-day Affair. I love the fact that it's on,
- 41:45you know, on demand afterwards because I think like, most
- 41:48people writing, you have a virtual conference.
- 41:50Sometimes, you do end up multitasking and get pulled away
- 41:52and everything's, and being able to go back and look at stuff
- 41:55that you were that you were able to get to during the day.
- 41:57Makes it super flexible. So, I'm super excited for it.
- 42:00I typically engage in some of the conversations that are out
- 42:02there, so don't be surprised. You see me poking?
- 42:06My head in and out of different things and throwing comments out
- 42:09there. The identity management
- 42:11champions list is impressive. I'm looking at it right now and
- 42:14it's, it's a who's who of, you know, Heavy Hitters in the
- 42:18identities. They see, these are all just
- 42:19individuals that are, you know, behind this.
- 42:22This is this isn't really a, you know, pay-for-play type thing
- 42:26from from their perspective, right?
- 42:28I didn't pay anything to get list is like, hey, I support
- 42:30this obviously Jim and I have been supporting us for a few
- 42:33years. Now, right, since Inception
- 42:34stuff like that, I think it's a great opportunity to get the
- 42:36identity management. The street together and have
- 42:40conversations and drive awareness and really hear from
- 42:43folks out there and be part of the conversation, which is
- 42:47great. Because I did a lot of times you
- 42:49get conferences or other webinars and things like that,
- 42:51you're a, you're a watcher, you're not a participant and I
- 42:56think that's, that's one of things.
- 42:57I think it really kind of sets apart from other ones that are
- 42:59out there. Okay?
- 43:01So I know you guys have been super generous with your time
- 43:04and I want to make sure that, you know, we let you get on with
- 43:06your days and Evenings, I'm sure.
- 43:09Julie. You're probably thinking about
- 43:10like, you know, what am I going to pack for Hawaii?
- 43:12Jeff your pipe, looking at your laundry list of things like, I
- 43:14want to get this done but what I want to leave us with is a
- 43:18lighter note and we're kind of talking before the show here.
- 43:22And I think the one that we settled on was this is a
- 43:24question that we're going to ask for all for everyone's answer.
- 43:27On is what's an underrated TV show or movie that more people
- 43:32should be checking out. So, for example, if I hear Game
- 43:35of Thrones, I'm going to veto that and say everybody, all
- 43:37right? Knows about Game of Thrones
- 43:39whether you like it or not, is irrelevant people have heard
- 43:41about it. So what I'm looking for are one
- 43:43things that I can add to what am I streaming cues?
- 43:45Because I'm always on the hunt for something new but maybe some
- 43:47folks are, you know, they like hey I really enjoyed this and I
- 43:50wish more people knew about it so that I can have more
- 43:53conversations about it with other people.
- 43:55Jim, I'm going to start with you and then we'll go to Jeff and to
- 43:58Julie And your start with me and I'm going to like, give the
- 44:03alternate answer because I really don't.
- 44:05Nothing came to mind, our podcast guy or ebooks.
- 44:10And so what I'm going to do is throw a pod cast out there.
- 44:14Hope that doesn't offend anybody.
- 44:16But the podcast I've been listening to lately is called
- 44:18hidden brain. It's a, I think it was an NPR
- 44:22show. I think is how I picked up on
- 44:23it. Anyway, this guy Shankar he
- 44:26it's, it's like the psychology of the human.
- 44:29My mind and how the human mind works.
- 44:31And for example there's a whole series on happiness research
- 44:35that they've done, they called it happiness 2.0 which is like
- 44:39what are the things that we do in our lives or happen in our
- 44:42lives? That make us more joyful, going
- 44:45through life and there's two reasons why those do it.
- 44:49One is like I think this is true for anybody.
- 44:51Like if you listen to his podcast you will enjoy it.
- 44:55I'm you've got my personal guarantee on that, enjoy it.
- 44:59You'll enjoy it. If you don't listen to it, you
- 45:02will enjoy it. But, you know, that's number
- 45:05one. Number two is like, I'll listen
- 45:07to it. This kite Shankar.
- 45:10You know, he's super well-spoken and I feel like after I listened
- 45:15to his show, if I go into a meeting my vocabulary, expands
- 45:20temporarily. So, I mean, that's part of the
- 45:22reason why I listen to it is like he's so well-spoken.
- 45:25I feel like that kind of rubs off on me a little bit and take
- 45:28me from like three on a scale of 1 to 10 to maybe a 4.
- 45:34So there you go. My answer is hidden rain
- 45:36podcast, it's a 33 percent Improvement, that's that's what
- 45:40number is that. Anybody would stay you gotta on
- 45:41a market that right? Jeff, what about yourself?
- 45:44What is an underrated TV show or movie?
- 45:46Or I guess podcast, or something that more, I'm not going to go
- 45:49with podcast but I do support the hidden brain.
- 45:52That's a great show. So the underrated show that I
- 45:55have in mind, it's streaming on Prime's called 3 pie.
- 45:59Ines and it's something. I think not enough people know
- 46:02about if you are into a good murder detective, but it's not a
- 46:08either. A gruesome or real bloody or
- 46:10every episode murder solved in 44 minutes.
- 46:14It's not that kind of show it's more slow-paced and it takes
- 46:19place in Quebec Canada. And I didn't know if they were
- 46:25to. So I had to say that and it
- 46:28deals more with the eccentricities of a town and
- 46:32they're somewhat rural. So they all know each other,
- 46:34maybe a bit too well. But there are some deaths that
- 46:38occur and everything kind of intertwined.
- 46:40And I think it's great. I'm really hoping it gets picked
- 46:42up for a second season. What's it called?
- 46:44Again, three Pines, three Pines, three Pines, I video Amazon
- 46:49Prime video. Okay, yep.
- 46:51Julie about yourself. I think this is a little bit
- 46:58obscure but maybe not so if anybody that's a front of a fan
- 47:01of Bryan Cranston of that Breaking Bad.
- 47:04Same there's a it's in season 2 now but there's a TV show on
- 47:10Showtime called your honor and it is fantastic.
- 47:16I am you know sitting on the edge of my seat, every Friday,
- 47:20just waiting for it to drop the next episode.
- 47:22Drop So it's set in New Orleans which you don't usually see very
- 47:27often and he's a judge that has some issues and had some
- 47:32challenges in his life. And yeah, I've really I really
- 47:35enjoyed it. So I know you guys are shaking
- 47:38your head, so maybe it's something that you've watched.
- 47:40But yeah, that's my. That's my favorite right now.
- 47:43My wife is into it and I haven't seen any of them yet, but I love
- 47:47Bryan, Cranston. I think he's a so talented and
- 47:49so good at what he does. I mean, he's got such range to
- 47:52between comedy and drama and sort of everything in between a
- 47:56just I'm in on that one. That's that's got to go on my
- 47:59list for sure. You know, I'm sitting here
- 48:02struggling because I actually have three that's that I was
- 48:05want to bring up. This is so there's one.
- 48:08I'll go real quickly. First one is a show called God's
- 48:11favorite idiot. It's on Netflix, and it's a
- 48:14comedy with Ben Falcone, and Melissa McCarthy.
- 48:18I just discovered this, like, literally last weekend's Doom
- 48:21scrolling for Netflix. Trying to find something that my
- 48:23wife and I could agree on to watch and flipped it on its, I
- 48:26guess 30 minutes stupid comedy about basically, the guy gets
- 48:31struck by lightning and he supposed to be sort of the
- 48:35messenger of God and deliver the world, and it's funny and it's
- 48:40stupid. And it's just a good solid, 30
- 48:42minutes. So that's that's one I think
- 48:45that people should probably check out.
- 48:47I love the Bennington Show on Sirius XM radio.
- 48:50So for folks who know me, I will reference them every once in a
- 48:53while but they do a Daily Show on the satellite radio.
- 48:57Now streaming kind of platform but I totally think it's such a
- 49:01great show father-daughter and just essentially gifted comedian
- 49:04and just so fun to kind of listen to its, I always have a
- 49:08good time. Listen to those guys.
- 49:09I if I ever did a personal podcast, it would probably be
- 49:13Something like that show. I don't think I can do it as
- 49:16good for sure. But will be that sort of
- 49:19approach. Should I do my third or just
- 49:23leave it there? Yeah.
- 49:25I see the three. The other one is, this is
- 49:26something I've gotten into recently, is it streaming
- 49:29Network called Dropout? It's by college humor and they
- 49:32do a lot of, like, sketch comedy and things like that.
- 49:34It's super cheap. It's like 50 bucks for a year,
- 49:37and they have this show called a lot of cop shows, but one is
- 49:41called Game Changer, which basically the rules of the game
- 49:44change every time every episode and the player is have to figure
- 49:48out what the rules of the game are to win.
- 49:51So they're throwing to a bunch of different scenarios and
- 49:55things you can find on YouTube as well, if you want to find
- 49:57clips and stuff like that but they don't know what the rules
- 49:59are when the game starts and they have to figure out along
- 50:02the way and it just it's just a weird fun show or you can easily
- 50:07spend, you know, half an hour is, as a Time killer.
- 50:09So there's I cheated and went with three so it's hopefully
- 50:13that would hopefully isn't quite as as intense, as well as it
- 50:17does squid game, right? Was that?
- 50:19Well, we know yesterday was great.
- 50:21Rules of the game you either but the consequences were pretty
- 50:25dire. Yeah.
- 50:27Consequences definitely not as dire but very entertaining and
- 50:32fun and stupid at all. The same time, right up my
- 50:34alley. So, I enjoy it.
- 50:36If you've checked it out, feel free to drop.
- 50:38But you know what? A LinkedIn.
- 50:39I'd love to chat about it. I just don't know anybody else
- 50:40has seen it, and I enjoy it, so that's me.
- 50:45All right, let's go ahead and leave it there for this week.
