EP188 Beyond the Buzzwords: Identity's True Role in Cloud and SaaS Security

Guest: Dor Fledel, Founder and CEO of Spera Security, now Sr Director of Product Management at Okta Topics: We say "identity is the new perimeter," but I think there's a lof of  nuance to it. Why and how does it matter specifically in cloud and SaaS security? How do you do IAM right in the cloud? Help us with the acronym soup - ITDR, CIEM also ISPM (ITSPM?), why are new products needed? What were the most important challenges you found users were struggling with when it comes to identity management?  What advice do you have for organizations with considerable identity management debt? How should they start paying that down and get to a better place?  Also: what is "identity management debt"? Can you answer this from both a technical and organizational change management perspective?  It's one thing to monitor how User identities, Service accounts and API keys are used, it's another to monitor how they're set up. When you were designing your startup, how did you pick which side of that coin to focus on first?  What's your advice for other founders thinking about the journey from zero to 1 and the journey from independent to acquisition?  Resources: EP162 IAM in the Cloud: What it Means to Do It 'Right' with Kat Traxler EP127 Is IAM Really Fun and How to Stay Ahead of the Curve in Cloud IAM?
