Don’t Buy a Ferrari When You Need a Bike: Rethinking IAM Investments


Listen Later

How do companies keep buying Ferraris when all they need is a bike?
I sit down with Daniel Álvarez García, Senior IAM Manager at PwC Spain and author of the widely followed Future of Digital Identity newsletter, to explore the 7 most common IAM mistakes companies make—and how to fix them.


Daniel shares brutally honest lessons from the field:

  • Why IAM tools are often underused (and overpriced)

  • How to build a realistic identity roadmap before (or after) making a major purchase

  • Why your cloud apps are your problem—not your provider’s

  • What metrics and SLAs matter most for onboarding, offboarding, and critical access

  • How identity teams can move from firefighting to building foundations

Whether you’re about to invest in IAM or already stuck trying to justify one—this episode is a playbook in how to approach identity strategically, not reactively.
