Identity at the Center

On this episode of Identity at the Center, Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman are joined by Chad Wolcott, Managing Director at RSM US LLP, to peel back the layers of the identity industry. They delve into the complexities of identity consulting, discussing the challenges and triumphs of implementing and managing IAM solutions. From Chad's early days of designing robots to Jim's arcade escapades, the trio shares their most unusual jobs and the lessons learned from their unique experiences.

They also tackle pressing topics like the future of passwordless authentication, the role of AI and analytics in identity, and the evolution of authorization from RBAC to dynamic access models. The conversation takes a turn into the realm of IAM horror stories, highlighting the pitfalls of over-engineering solutions and the importance of aligning with organizational change.

As they gear up for Identiverse, they share their excitement for reconnecting with industry peers, diving into sessions on AI and identity security, and enjoying the Vegas experience. Tune in for an insightful and candid discussion on the state of identity security, the potential of AI, and the power of automation in the ever-evolving IAM landscape.
