In this episode, hosts Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman welcome back Paul Mezzera. Paul, who last joined us in November of 2022, takes us through what has been happening in his world since then. The conversation delves into the rapidly evolving field of Privileged Access Management (PAM), where Paul unpacks the driving forces behind these changes and shares his predictions for the future of PAM. Paul shares his extensive experience with Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), including his time at Saviynt, and offers his thoughts on the current state of the IGA market. He also shares his experiences and challenges while working in Identity and Access Management at UC Davis. To wrap up, Paul gives us a peek into what's coming next for him.
