Rebel Executives

Dawn sits down with Robert Sharp, President and CEO of HENNGE Inc., the US arm of Japan's leading SMB cloud identity security company.

They also cover the licensing gap that leaves many small businesses without conditional access, the "I'm too small to be a target" myth (illustrated by Robert's daughter's coffee shop), supply chain risk, offboarding blind spots, and where authentication is headed in the next five years.
