This is identity at the center. Welcome everybody to Identis
Wobble yes, thank you very much. Feel free to cheer, applaud.
You know all that's going on in my head.
Appreciate that. So this is the game show that is
all about identity and access management and what the I AM
community has been thinking about for the last couple of
weeks. I guess as I sent this out, hi
Dank, this is Jeff Stebbin. I'm the host of the Identity of
the Center podcast. Also do consulting with RSM.
So shameless plug, IDC podcast.com.
If you're taking pictures, I see you right there.
Feel free to send them to me. Go to the website and just drop
me because I can put something together.
This is going to end up hopefully being an episode if it
doesn't suck. So let's try to make it good.
I have cameras kind of all over the place.
We have a couple teams that are going to come up here in a
second. I want to let people know how
this is going to work. So it's very similar to Family
Feud, but for legal purposes we are called Identis Waddle, so no
feud in the term. We're going to be judged by the
team up from RSM. So we've got Chad Wolcott from
RSM and then a guest judge, Audrey Bregman from Hub
International. So give them a round of
applause. They are impartial judges and so
that's how this is going to work.
I'm going to introduce our teams here in a second.
So let's meet the first team. We've got team ID pro so let's
get Heather and her team out here all right Heather, so
welcome to the first icon this file.
I see you all have hats, so let's figure out what's going on
here. But first one, we're doing a
quick introduction all. Right Heather Flanagan, the hat
that I'm wearing right now is the executive director of ID
Pro. And Tina?
Hi everyone, I'm Tina, I'm Co founder of Badge Inc and board
member of ID Pro and maybe a little bit later today a
particular rapper that you may know.
You've put a lot. So I want to poser that you've
put a lot of into this rap because other people have asked
me if I I said, well, maybe we'll get something called maybe
we'll have like a special skills section later.
So we'll see. MM Kaiser stratageen standards
at cell point. I will not be rappel.
Thank you for that. Appreciate that or so.
You think? All right, let's get the teams
over here. It's not over for find me.
Let's get our next team. We've got my Co host Jim
McDonald from team Idec. He's got this team here coming
on. Jim spent a lot of time putting
together that team outfit there looks like.
Hey, stickers. All right, so quick
introduction, Jeff, Jim McDonald goes identity of disaster
itself. All right, gentlemen, David
Mahdi, chief identity officer for Transmit Security, and I'm
Steven Rennick and I'm the IAM architect for Siena.
All right, so any special skills because we have a rapper in the
other side, I'm going to take that as a no.
OK, let's come on over here. I'm going to explain the rules
in the team or to the teams. The way this is going to work is
we surveyed hundreds of people from IT Pro and also from my
LinkedIn network. So if you're here and you've
submitted an answer to that form that I sent out, thank you so
much. Do not blame me for your the
answers you're going to see here.
These are all your answers collectively's community.
So just be aware of that. We're going to have each of the
teams try to guess the top answers on the board.
Again, very similar to another game show you may have heard.
If a team gets three strikes, they're going to be out and the
other team is going to be able to try and steal it.
So again, very familiar hopefully, and you guys can
help. So feel free to yell out if you
think you've got a good answer. If the, you know, the teams turn
to you for guidance and help, feel free to get into that.
And then whoever's got the most points at the end is going to
win valuable prizes, so we'll announce that later on.
OK, Team ID Pro, are you guys ready?
No, if you are ready, Sir. IDAC, Are you ready?
Yeah. OK, crowd, Are you ready?
All right, let's have a McDonough squabble.
All right, give me Jim. Give me Heather.
We're going to start this off real quick at the first
question. All right?
Amazing sound effects. We've got the top five answers
on the board. Name a common reason for IAM
project failure. OK, Heather was first ID pro.
What do you got? Under resourced.
Under resourced is under resourced on the list our judges
are contemplating. They say no, no, OK, too much
too soon, too much too soon. So maybe something with
inappropriate timelines scoping? I'm not sure.
No. OK, we're going to go down the
line. So let's see Tina, you're next
and you could try and steal. Come on over here, be shy.
Name a common reason for I am project failure.
Technical debt. Technical debt judge it seem
like they're going to award something here all right complex
integration all right so you guys want to play or do you want
to pass it to the other team here pass or play we can we.
Can pass a little bit, make the man so.
We've got a player we're going to play All right, OK, so like
guys are coming up here. Wow.
This is give me a common reason for I am project failure 1 / 15.
Let's get everyone up here. Just wait.
We have a smooth in here and a common reason for I am project
failure, Mike, Vendor vendors. The vendors are a major problem
as we say this in an Expo hall with a whole bunch of vendors
here. So thanks for that.
OK, no, all right. So that's another strike,
Heather. Executive.
Buy in executive, buy in. OK, this one, I'm pretty sure
you have to be out there. Yep #1 on the board.
OK, so good answer. Tina, you're next name upon a
reason for eyeing fighting failure.
Helping anytime. Now, oh, Heather's already
waiting for help from the crowd. Permits gathering.
Oh, that's. Poor requirements.
Gathering your requirements, gathering.
All right, that's on the list. What's next?
There's probably that's all the
scrubbery. Can't solve all use cases, can't
solve all the use cases. So maybe oversold under the
liver or something like that. No2 strikes.
OK, So the pressure is on you Heather.
If we do not get this right, Team IVC is going to get a
chance to steal. So give me a common reason for I
am project failure. Am I hearing budget?
Ajit, I hear budget that's on the list.
All right, so now the pressure's.
Getting these right with Celebrate.
Pressure's acting. I've got one for two for two.
What do you got? What do you got?
Budget's got something that's cute enough we can't hear.
You hear the fries much? Schedule overruns.
Schedule overrides, judges. No.
OK, Team IDC, you've got a chance to steal here.
You're puddling up trying to figure out what you're going to
go with. And David is assuming control.
I'm assuming control. You are.
Or name a common reason for IM project failure, lack of
business, 11 business alignments.
Because that on the list is #5 if you get it, you steal the
points. It is OK.
So Team IDC gets those points in the round and away we are.
Wait. So OK, so let's go next.
So I think Dave, if you were next, you're on this side over
here and then Tina, you're over here.
All right, so we're going to get to the next question here.
All right. Now, since we're in the non
human area, we're going to have a non human question.
Name a type of non human identity in identity and access
management. OK, Tina, quick on the draw.
Agentic AI. Agentic AI, is that on the list?
Survey says judges contemplating thinking.
All right. Ascension AI preparing to take
over, right? OK, I think that probably
qualifies for it. You guys want to pass or play?
We got a chance to get higher, right?
Yeah, we're going to play. Right.
These guys are mining the rules, right?
You guys have a chance to get a higher answer.
So if they have a higher answer, those say, David, you've got a
choice name, A tag of non human identity, workload identity,
workload identity pretty straightforward workload
identity this is deciding it's. On there it's.
Not no, Nope. When you get the judges, they're
just trying to decipher is this some sort of like service
accounts? No.
OK, All right, so you guys are going to pass or fight, Not
workload eyes team. Forget all the fight.
OK, this is all right. Kaiser, you're up next, give me
a type of non human identity. You need to come over here at
the migrants over there who needs workloads anyway and feel
free audience right, so type of non human identities if you saw
the Google for over the last couple weeks, service accounts,
service accounts. OK, that seems pretty simple.
There we go Yep #1 all right Heather, you're up.
Name a type of non human identity.
Butter's thinking. Or maybe she's about to see
something inappropriate get us all in trouble.
Robots. Robots, OK #3 Tina, you're up
again. Are you a type of non human
identity? I'm thinking we should probably
had Hutch on the show because he's on, Yeah.
Hutch. He's a ringer.
Tina, give me another non human identity.
Can't hear you think from the crowd.
You got to speak up. IAM.
Roll, IAM. Roll.
That's from the crowd. Is that on the list?
No. OK, sorry.
All that effort. We got nothing for it.
I want the weirdest answer. Weirdest answer.
Machine. Speak up.
Yell it out. Machine.
I hear local accounts, local accounts as a machine identity
as a non human identity. Is that on the list?
No, OK. OK, I'm going to have to go with
this one for my own entertainment value, but it also
shares my theme, my mom. Is your mom on the list all
right? No, unfortunately not.
All right, Team IDSC. You've got a chance to steal
here, so you guys need to give me a chance.
Give me a give me a non human identity type.
Feel free to come over here into the camera freight.
I know that this is our first time doing the podcast, so come
on. Machine accounts, machine
accounts. All right, is that on the list?
Machine accounts? No, all right, so ID pro wins
the points. So we'll have them be the
winner. So they get to catch up here a
little bit. Let's see what number 5 was on
the list. Container identities.
Good boy. Do we not know what we're
working with? Sounds sounds a little bit.
There's a lot of controversy over here would be thanks.
I doubt for identity, but #4 an IoT device could be OK and #2 an
API key here. OK, early standard answers at
the. All right, let's see who's next.
You've got Mr. Kaiser. Oh, boy, versus Mr. Rennick.
All right, got the next round here.
Set up the next question. Let's see how we're doing.
OK, this is annoying. So now we're going to get into
the Vegas part of this because we have to have some fun.
Smell almonds, right? Name a snack you might see at a
Las Vegas conference Expo hall I.
Think he got this? There we go.
OK, I'm pretty sure I saw that, so we'll just got that.
Name a snack, Steve. Cookies.
Is cookies on the list?
Number one answer. OK, so already finally good to
see how they throw or easy up here.
So let's go come over here guys, then.
All right, Yeah. Popcorn.
It's popcorn on the list.
Judges popcorn. No, I disagree because there's
literally popcorn sitting on every table right here, right
here. So.
OK, so let's see, Mr. Mahdi, you're next name a snack you
might see at a Las Vegas conference Expo hall.
Mints. I hear mints from the crowd.
Who else? Anyone else?
That's hot sauce. Sauce.
Wow. OK.
Oh, hot sauce. So what are we going to go with?
David, what do you have? We'll go with mints.

OK, Jim, pressure's on you. Yeah, a third strike coming up
here. Game of snack you might see at a
Las Vegas conference Expo ball. Andy.
And do you have anything from Andy Candy?
Andy. Andy.
All right, I see Candy's on the list.
Come back over here, guys like are going.
Yep. All right.
So another snack, David. 2 strikes.
Another one strike then ID Pro is going to have a chance to
steal. Rusher is on the rusher is on
any other from the car. We got a hand raised very
polite, yell it out loud. Finger eats pasta.
That's an interesting snack. You might see just people just
just go and grab things that you got to eat versus wine on
sandwiches. We're going to go with
sandwiches. Sandwiches.
OK, I heard sandwiches. Sandwiches on the list.
OK, all right, so we've got a chance now for Heather.
It has ID Pro to make a steal here.
So, Heather, name a snack you might see at a Las Vegas
conference Expo hall. Pretzels.
Pretzels, that's a great answer. Let's see, Is that on the list?
Pretzels Judges survey says I'm thinking trail mix for Anola.
close enough, I guess. OK, all right, so you guys win,
you guys steal the points. Let's see what that does for
points. So now you've taken a quick
lead. Let's see what number six was on
a snack. You might see at a loss against
conference Jim McDonald. I mean, come on, guys, really a
total stack, right? All right, let's see #2 coffee,
tea, drinks. OK.
All right, so all right, we've got time, I think, for one more
question, and we'll go back around to you, Heather, and to
you, Jim, up here for another round.
All right, so let's see what we got going on here.
All right, so here's our last question for the game.
Name a common swag item handed out and conference books.
All right, so Jim was quick on that one.
It was good. A stress ball.
A stress ball is stress fall on the list?
No, Heather, you've got a chance here.
You need to pick out a piece of swag.
Common swag item, water bottles, water bottle, water bottle on
the list. There it is.
All right. Do you guys want to pass or play
Heather? We.
Want to play? He wants to play.
OK, so Tina, you have a common swag item that you might find in
a Las Vegas conference hall. Let's move over here just so
that we don't have this proper again.
Shirts. Shirts.
Jergensen, sort of clothing. Clothing on the list.
T-shirts. OK, The sock crowd is, I think,
out there, right? Socks are pretty popular.
Firm, buddy. I see fist pumps in the back.
All right, Mr. Kaiser, what's your favorite swag you've seen?
So the speaker stepping more whisky.
I love bouncy balls. Bouncy bounce.
Is that your answer? Is that your final answers,
Mike? Some bags.
A bag. A bag of some sort.
Tote bags. All right, Yeah.
You need something to carry all this stuff with you.
All right, Other swag item. Stickers.

obviously they're on the sea frame from get them, go visit
our booth, go win a bag. Common swag item.
Pens. Pens his pens on the list.
There it is. All right, we got one answer
left. Mr. Kaiser's next.
Come on, y'all. Everybody knows his hat.
Is it a hat? Is a hat on the list?
Let's see. No.
OK, the total let down for Mr. Kaiser.
Make all your complaints to the Identiverse team.
All right, I'm looking good for help.
Here's your McDonald. Is Jim McDonald a common swagger
And the way he handed out? Oh, all right.
He is a snack, but not a common swag item.
So there you go. All right, what do we think?
What do we think, Tinny? You got 2 strikes cables is what
I hear from over here. Any other things speak out.
Go in for. So toy, fidget toy is something
I hear out here. Anyone else have things swag
items now? No pressure, Tina.
There's no pressure here. Because if you get this wrong
than the ID Pro or the identity center feature chance to steal
and they will probably win the game.
So there's no pressure whatsoever that you get this
correct. Great a lap boy.
Stay scary. We're going to go with
sunglasses slash notepad slash trinket slash toy.
Wow, there's a lot of splashes. Let's see if no, none of those
are on the list. So, all right, so let's change
it back over here to the identity for the cider team.
Who's going to speak for the team muster?
Mahdi's going to be the representative.
We have our consent. He's he's taken center stage and
he he feels very well. I'm going to get a life.
No, I appreciate it. You know, blow out my eardrums,
Right. So name a common swag item
handed out of conference boost. If you guys get this, you guys
win that you hold prizes. Queso.
It's queso. Charging cables.
OK, so I heard that over here.
It's charging cables on the list.
OK, so that means pro wins that round, and they are the winners.
So let's see what number six was.
What was #6 something you politely accept and leave in
your hotel room. Of course, everyone does that.
Come on. All right, so congratulations to
our winners here. We've got TV pro Heather, Tina
and Kaiser. Let me hold on.
We'll get your valuable prize. We get our smarts from community
and from the body of knowledge, which is really awesome and you
should read it. Yeah, feel free to do a
shameless plug for ID pro.org. Definitely a great organization.
So courtesy of our friends here at CRA, we've got three passes
to the Xenoverse conference next year for everybody on the
winning team. So here we go.
That's what's got face scan models in place as I cut my back
to camera. There we go.
So congratulations to those folks.
So there you go. Looking forward to see this
happen hopefully again next year.
I want to give a shout out to Shirley Hahn, who's back there
in the middle guarding my precious camera.
This would not have happened without her help.
So definitely want to shout out Shirley.
So please, let's let's hear it for Shirley.
Guys, come on, let's go. All right, so with that, we are
done. So we're going to let you guys
get out into the world. We've got a boot back there
Friday, Friday and center. And Tina really wants to do her
rap, I think. So if she wants to, she can do
it. Do it.
Let's see. Come on guys, this is all worth
it. Have you ever felt that you had
one shot or one opportunity to secure all your data?
Do you let the data fall or do you capture the moment?
Let's hear it. You better lose yourself in the
music the moment you want it. You better never let it go.
You only get one shot. Do not miss your MFA roll out.
You better capture this moment. Lose yourself in the off.
In the off Z. You got it and you never let it.
Go. So, you know, everybody, come
on, you're not going to find better than that.
I'm sorry for the rest of my universe, but hands up for Tina,
