Identity is involved in everything we do, and many skills from other IT fields can easily transition into the identity space. It's important to understand the breadth of what identity is trying to accomplish, which is to allow others to interact and consume services in a frictionless and secure manner.

There are many resources available to learn about identity, including tutorials, classes, and industry websites. Machine identities, such as IoT devices, also need to be treated as identities and have the same controls and management in place. When choosing identity solutions, it's important to understand the organization's objectives, challenges, and requirements before considering specific vendors or tools.

In this conversation, with John Spiegel and Jaye Tillson, David Morimanno emphasizes the importance of having a sound plan and strategy before implementing identity and access management solutions. He highlights the significance of interpersonal and communication skills in the field of identity access management, as every action has an impact on the business.

David also stresses the need to understand the business's workflows and goals when implementing solutions. He advises against rushing the implementation process and emphasizes the importance of patience and continuous improvement.

Additionally, he emphasizes the value of building a solid team and following industry frameworks.
