Joiners, Movers, Leavers, and Failures: Why is Identity Management Still Struggling? – Henrique Teixeira – ESW #367
I'm always thrilled to chat with ex-analysts, and Henrique Teixeira can cover a lot of ground with us on the topic of identity management and governance. The more I talk to folks about IAM/IGA, the more I'm shocked at how little has changed. If anything, it seems like we've gone backwards a bit, with the addition of cloud SaaS, mobile devices, and shadow IT. Identity is one of the most common entry points for attacks, so we've got to do better as an industry here.
We'll cover a variety of topics in this interview, including:
- Why Henrique chose to go to Saviynt from Gartner
- Vendor risk concentration in identity
- Resilience in identity, especially when depending on a SaaS IdP
- Identity attack evolution (and the creation of the ITDR category)
- What's working in identity to move things forward, and what is holding us back
