Who are you?

This episode dives into one of the most challenging cybersecurity topics currently on the docket – identity management.

My conversation with Brandon Traffanstedt, Sr. Director and Global Technology Officer at CyberArk, took us in two equally important directions. The first deals with individuals and how to properly manage those accessing your systems and networks. The second, equally as challenging, but potentially more complex, focused on machine or asset identities and understanding how to keep this sprawling attack landscape more secure.

Perhaps most interestingly, Brandon also offers some insight on cookies-based attacks and how, like so many cybersecurity challenges, the answers doesn’t lie in the tech stack.

Watch/listen as we also discuss:

• Solving identify management strategies by finding baseline controls.
• The unique dynamics of manufacturing when it comes to risk analysis and establishing these baselines.
• The role of asset visibility when it comes to identity management strategies.
• How to prevent those age-old turf battles between IT and OT.
• Why machine identities might pose the greatest cybersecurity risk.
• The importance of empathy in getting people to buy in to cybersecurity strategies and training.
