In this sponsored episode of Identity at the Center, hosts Jeff Steadman and Jim McDonald spotlight Hush Security, a company emerging from stealth with an innovative approach to machine identity and access management. CEO and co-founder Micha Rave explains why traditional secrets vaults can’t keep up with today’s scale, what it means to truly go “secrets-free,” and how Hush enables visibility, governance, and operability for modern and legacy environments alike.
Discover:
- The real difference between non-human identities and static keys
- Why legacy secrets management is breaking in the cloud and automation age
- Hush Security’s journey from stealth mode to active customers
- The business case for removing vaults (and the risks with “hope and prayer” key rotation)
- How to transition to policy-based access—and measurement metrics for success
- Fun discussions on pancakes vs. waffles in security leadership (really!)

This episode is sponsored by P0 Security. Visit p0.dev/idac to learn why P0 is the easiest and fastest way to implement just-in-time, short-lived, and auditable access to your entire infrastructure stack, like servers, databases, Kubernetes clusters, cloud consoles, and cloud services, for users as well as non-human identities.
In this sponsor spotlight episode, Jim and Jeff are joined by Shashwat Sehgal, CEO and founder of P0 Security, to discuss the evolving challenges of privileged access management in modern, cloud-native environments. Shashwat explains how traditional PAM solutions often create friction for developers, leading to over-provisioning and security risks, and how P0 is tackling this problem with a developer-first, just in time (JIT) access model. The conversation covers the core problems with developer productivity, how P0's use of technologies like eBPF provides deep visibility and control without agents, the "Priority Zero" philosophy, and how a JIT approach simplifies audits and compliance. They also discuss the competitive landscape and what sets P0 Security apart from traditional and open-source solutions.

Join hosts Jeff Steadman and Jim McDonald as they explore the critical intersection of attack surface management (ASM) and digital identity with Dan Lauritzen, Director with RSM Defense - RSM’s Managed Security Team. This episode dives deep into how identity has become a key component of your organization's attack surface and why breaking down silos between identity teams and Security Operations Centers is more crucial than ever.
Dan brings a unique perspective from his military background as a human intelligence collector to his current role in detection and response. Learn about the cyber kill chain, understand when you might have too much data, and discover practical strategies for treating identities as assets that need continuous protection.
Whether you're an identity practitioner looking to expand your security knowledge or a cybersecurity professional wanting to better understand identity's role in attack surface management, this conversation offers valuable insights and actionable takeaways.
Key topics include XDR platforms, ITDR tools, the evolution from legacy SIEM to modern detection systems, and why the future of security requires collaboration between traditionally separate teams.

In this episode of Identity at the Center, recorded live from Identiverse 2025 in Las Vegas, Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman are joined by special guests Diane Vicezar and Arynn Crow. Diane is a recent recipient of the Digital Identity Advancement Foundation's (DIAF) prestigious Kim Cameron Award, and Arynn is the Director of Governance and Transparency for DIAF.
Join us for a conversation about breaking into the identity and access management (IAM) industry. Diane shares her journey from a college intern at Microsoft to a full-time employee in the identity space, and what her experience has been like as a first-time attendee at Identiverse. Arynn provides valuable insights into the mission of DIAF, which aims to make professional development in identity more accessible through merit-based awards like the Kim Cameron Award for newcomers and the Victoria O'Connor Award for established professionals.
The group discusses the critical question of how the industry can attract new talent. Do people choose a career in identity, or does it choose them? They explore the importance of outreach to universities, the power of social media, and reframing the narrative around identity to focus on its mission-driven impact on society. From career ceilings and the role of AI to favorite conference sessions and hallway conversations, this episode is packed with insights for both seasoned professionals and those just starting their identity journey.

Join Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman on this sponsored episode of the Identity at the Center Podcast, brought to you by Duo! We welcome back Matt Caulfield, VP of Duo and Identity at Cisco, to discuss the ongoing "identity crisis" in security, where 60% of attacks have identity as a key component. Matt introduces Duo's new Security-First IAM, a revolutionary approach that prioritizes security by making it the default, enabling easy passwordless adoption, and building in phishing resistance from day zero.
Discover how Duo is differentiating itself in a crowded market by focusing on end-to-end phishing resistance capabilities and user-centric security. Matt shares insights into Cisco's innovation culture, drawing from his experience as a founder and the integration of acquired technologies like ORT into Duo's identity intelligence, including a new trust scoring mechanism to identify compromised accounts.
We also delve into the powerful insights from Cisco Talos, whose research on identity-based attacks directly influences Duo's product development, and how customer feedback is shaping the future of identity security. Explore the exciting innovations in authentication, including Duo's proximity verification for phishing-resistant, passwordless access, and the continuous authentication capabilities powered by Duo Desktop and Identity Intelligence.
Finally, Matt discusses the impact of AI on identity security, both in enabling attackers and enhancing defense mechanisms like the new Duo AI assistant for administrators. The conversation concludes with a look into the future of identity, including the challenges and opportunities presented by machine and agentic AI identities, and the critical need for advanced authorization solutions.

In this episode of the Identity at the Center podcast, Jim McDonald is joined by Eve Maler to explore a provocative topic—"Consent is Dead." Eve shares insights from her recent keynote at the European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC) in Berlin, where she unpacked the failures of consent-based systems in protecting user privacy. They discuss why the "I agree" button has lost its meaning, even in regions with strong data protection laws like GDPR, and how users' personal information is monetized through identity resolution technologies.
Eve reveals how identity professionals often overlook the world of identity resolution, which operates without a direct relationship with users. She emphasizes the importance of IAM professionals understanding the deep monetization of personal data and the critical need to improve systems of privacy, consent, and security. They also touch on the role of AI in authorization decisions and the balance between explainability and automation in future IAM systems.
