Summary

In this episode of the Identity Heroes Podcast, Aldo Pietropaolo discusses the evolving landscape of authentication and identity management with guests Przemek Czerklewicz and Marcin. They explore whether authentication is genuinely solved, the importance of continuous trust and assurance, and the challenges posed by the authentication chasm. The conversation also delves into Relock's innovative approach to enhancing security through dynamic (ephemeral) secrets and machine identity verification, the future of passwordless authentication, and the role of CAPE in improving security signals across systems.
