In this sponsored episode of the Identity at the Center Podcast, hosts Jeff and Jim interview Vincenzo Iozzo, CEO of SlashID, to discuss the current landscape and innovations they are making in Identity and Access Management (IAM). Vincenzo, who has a background in offensive security and experience at CrowdStrike, explains how SlashID uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance visibility and posture beyond traditional Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) tools. Slash ID focuses on real-time detection and response to identity-based threats, addressing gaps that compliance-driven IGA systems miss. The episode also covers the advantages of SlashID’s platform, including monitoring privileged identities, automating policy generation for least privilege, and integrating with existing security infrastructure. The conversation delves into the challenges of identity-related breaches and the importance of balancing compliance with robust security measures. Vincenzo also shares his experiences from the offensive security world, including hacking competitions and the evolving threat landscape.
