The Cybersecurity Balancing Act: When To Choose IAM vs Network Security
In this episode of Cyber Fusion Forum, James Oakes sits down with Michael Dybek, Senior Solutions Consultant and identity evangelist, to unpack a growing challenge in modern cybersecurity: over-relying on traditional network security while neglecting identity.
Michael shares candid insights on how too many organisations still treat cybersecurity as a tick-box exercise—securing just 40-50% of what’s actually at risk.
The conversation dives deep into:
Why hybrid work environments demand layered security approaches
The risk of choosing “safe buys” instead of fit-for-purpose IAM strategies
Why defining what “good” looks like in identity is so elusive
How to justify dual investments (like IAM and NetSec) to non-technical stakeholders
What to look for in a consulting or reseller partner—beyond just the logo wall
If you’re navigating the trade-offs between IAM, network tools, and business realities—or trying to make smarter security investments that actually work—this one’s for you.
