In the high-stakes world of cloud technology, the real villain isn’t just runaway budgets or complex software—it’s access management lurking in the shadows. A 2024 report says a staggering 65% of organizations admit that managing access is their top multi-cloud identity management challenge.  In this episode of The STEMINISTS, we plunge straight into the heart of the struggle with Cathi Allen, Senior Product Marketing Manager at NetApp. She shares her expertise on the complexities of access management and building a strategic blueprint to ensure security and efficiency, as organizations balance on-premises and cloud resources.  

Cathi and hosts Phoebe Goh and Mekka Williams also shed light on how bringing in trusted partners can help organizations see the big picture, design effective policies, and maintain control while simplifying the management of modern, distributed infrastructure. As always, we round out the episode with our "Cool and Current" segment to get to know Cathi beyond the data.
