  • #23 Fractured Identity: An In-Depth Exploration

    Fractured identity occurs when a single user is unintentionally associated with multiple distinct accounts across different systems or within the same system.


    This fragmentation can arise in several scenarios, such as customer service interactions, where new user identities are created without linking them to existing ones, or when identity data across different systems is inconsistentor cannot be reconciled.

    Lets deep dive into this topic and learn how to create awareness, get started, spot and solve this.

  • #22 Unquestioned Assumptions

    In this episode we understand what "Unquestioned Assumptions" are, why they are limiting and how to recognize them.


    At its core, these are beliefs, habits, or expectations we adopt without verifying their accuracy or relevance. They shape our decisions, guide our strategies, and even influence how we view success.

  • #21 Graph DB: A must have for intelligent IAM systems

    In this episode, we take a deep dive into the role of graph databases in Identity and Access Management (IAM) and explore why they are becoming indispensable in modern IAM systems.

    For over 25 years, LDAP and relational databases have been he backbone of IAM. However, as the demands of IAM systems evolve, particularly in cloud-native and enterprise environments, it's clear that traditional databases are struggling to keep pace.

    It's time to introduce graph databases, a technology inherently suited for many IAM use cases. While relational databases offer consistency and robust transactional support, they falter in handling the growing complexity of dynamic access control and scalable architectures. Graph databases, on the other hand, excel at managing

    complex relationships and connections—key elements in modern IAM systems.

    In this episode, we discuss the limitations of RDBMS systems and explore how graph databases can transform IAM by offering smarter, more adaptable solutions for

    today's identity challenges.

  • #20 Unlocking PKI: Why It's Not Yet Mainstream in Identity and Access Management

    In this episode, we dive into the world of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and explore why it's not more widely adopted in the Identity and Access Management (IAM) space,  despite being considered the gold standard of credential assurance by many experts.

    We'll unravel the complexities of PKI, discuss its advantages and challenges, and examine the reasons behind its limited mainstream presence.

    Whether you're a security professional or just curious about IAM technologies, this episode will provide valuable insights into the potential of PKI and what it could mean for the

    future of digital security.

    Join us as we decode the mysteries of PKI and its role in modern identity management.

  • #18 ITDR - A promising domain or just another fad

    In this episode of the Identity Navigator podcast, we explore the multifaceted world of Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR).

    The episode delves into how various players in the market each bring their unique interpretations of ITDR, contributing to a diverse and innovative landscape. This diversity is pushing the boundaries of identity security, prompting a deep dive into the intricacies of ITDR and its viability.

    We discuss whether ITDR is effectively addressing

    the growing challenges of identity-based threats or if it is merely capitalizing on the fears of security executives to drive revenue.

    Join us as we navigate through these critical topics and uncover the true impact of ITDR

    in the current cybersecurity environment.

  • #17 Continuous Access Evaluation and Twosense - fascinating domain and a wonderful product
    Some call it continuous MFA, some call it continuous access evaluation, but it's starting to become part of the enterprise security. This can tie back into NIST, Zero Trust Architecture or in  PCI compliance.
    It’s just not a different form of MFA, it is more then that and Twosense is leading that space.
    They can be found online at www.twosense.ai as well as on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/twosense.ai). Send your show related queries and thoughts to [email protected]
