1
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:13,100
You're listening to the identity
of the center podcast, this is 

2
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,600
the show that talks about 
identity and access management 

3
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:18,600
and making sure you know who has
access to what let's get 

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:26,000
started. 
Welcome to the idea at the 

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
center podcast I'm Jeff and 
that's Jim. 

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Hey, Jim. 
Hey, Jeff, how are you? 

7
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,200
No, that's a bad yourself, good.
It's going to be a busy day. 

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,000
We've got a lot on the sports 
calendar in terms of TV watching

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,500
but I've also got a lot of, you 
know, household chores to do. 

10
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:44,900
Because tomorrow I'm going to 
start my journey out to San 

11
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:46,800
Francisco for the octane 
conference. 

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Yeah, so it's we recording this 
on Saturday November 5th. 

13
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,000
So I've just gotten back from a 
week-long trip to Scenic 

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,700
Elkhart. 
Indiana. 

15
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,600
Now, we'll talk about that. 
Maybe you real quickly, and 

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,100
then, yeah, we're gonna be an 
octane next week, so you're 

17
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,100
traveling out, tomorrow's 
Sunday. 

18
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:04,400
I'm flying out Monday for you 
and is kind of like an all-day 

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,700
thing. 
Although we do get back like 

20
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:08,600
three hours because of the time 
changes. 

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,800
Well, we actually get another, 
our boys raised. 

22
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:14,700
Yeah. 
Because this is all back. 

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,500
I totally forgot about that. 
Yeah, so we're getting you're 

24
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:19,900
going to get an hour hours all 
over the place. 

25
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:23,700
So we'll be tired at like 6:00 
in the shepherd knows how 

26
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:26,000
annoyed people who. 
Live in Phoenix. 

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Get and I think there's a an 
area of Indiana that doesn't 

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,800
recognize daylight savings time 
but and they're right. 

29
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,700
I mean I think it's it's kind of
from a bygone error but I guess 

30
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:43,500
is the logistics of getting rid 
of it. 

31
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:46,800
That's probably more difficult 
than just maintaining it. 

32
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:50,400
Yeah, keep hearing at least in 
the u.s. they're going to It's 

33
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,200
almost like yeah, we're thinking
about getting rid of it next 

34
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,300
year or so like that but it is 
from a relic from a bygone era. 

35
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:00,100
It was originally marketed as 
something that the farmers 

36
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:01,900
wanted and that's not the truth 
at all. 

37
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:04,600
It was something else. 
It was just kind of got blamed 

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,400
on farming for some reason, but 
that's not the reason I didn't. 

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,900
I didn't know that. 
But yeah, I've always loved like

40
00:02:10,900 --> 00:02:13,700
they're starting Farmers. 
Make it third because their kids

41
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,200
get up at 5:00 in the morning 
and milk the cows. 

42
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,800
Yeah, it was not. 
Yeah, I it's funny. 

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,100
I I went to recently, it was 
like, why are you know, why do 

44
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:23,600
we have? 
Why do we have this thing? 

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,000
And it was not a farmer's at 
all. 

46
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,800
It was some sort of PR thing, 
that sort of blamed it on the 

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,000
farmers. 
So kind of funny Side Story if 

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,700
we got a minute. 
Yeah, so I would, I grew up in 

49
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:37,700
Philadelphia in the inner city 
and when I went to college, it 

50
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:42,300
was Millersville University, 
which is in Lancaster County and

51
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:46,800
a sitting in a freshman year, 
political science class. 

52
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:51,000
I only remember what I was 
saying, but Some guy raised his 

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,800
hand and looked at me as like, 
you City. 

54
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,600
People don't care about the 
farmers at all and it was like, 

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,800
whoa, maybe he's right. 
I thought that I didn't care 

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,400
about the farmers, but maybe I 
was coming off that way and so 

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,100
it was a learning experience. 
I think that, I mean, that goes,

58
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:12,300
I'm sure I'm not breaking any 
big news for people here, but 

59
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:16,200
it's like about flexibility and 
being willing to learn and 

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,400
challenge your perspectives 
throughout your life. 

61
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:20,700
I think, when you get to a point
where you're not, Willing to do 

62
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,100
that. 
You're done learning. 

63
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Yeah, for sure. 
I think it's probably just that 

64
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,700
awareness thing, right? 
If it's, if you're never brought

65
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:29,700
into contact with stuff, how do 
you supposed to know about it? 

66
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,700
So I love travel and I think 
it's, you know, one of the 

67
00:03:33,708 --> 00:03:35,700
things that I recommend, 
everybody's travel go see the 

68
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:39,400
world, you know, all the 
different, cultures, people's 

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Nations, all that stuff, you 
know, I'm an optimist. 

70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,600
I like to believe most people 
are, you know, good and just, 

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,700
you know, trying to trying to 
get by with their own different 

72
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:49,000
lives. 
But yeah, go out and see the 

73
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
world and And get out of here. 
A little corner is a big 

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,400
eye-opener. 
I always kind of reference of 

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,300
back. 
My first trip to India. 

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,100
I want to say was like 20 2008, 
maybe 2010, I don't remember 

77
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:02,400
someone now was was a big 
eye-opener for me was kind of 

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,700
like my first international trip
was like, oh, okay. 

79
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,700
You know, there is more to the 
world than just, you know, 

80
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:11,200
Chicago area and the United 
States right in cats like that. 

81
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,400
And, you know, I had done some 
travel around there before, but 

82
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,500
that was sort of like the first 
kind of like okay, there's 

83
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,200
there's there's some things out 
there that I want to check out. 

84
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,200
Yeah. 
Definitely true. 

85
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:22,700
Soba. 
Speaking of travel. 

86
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:26,300
So we'll be in San Francisco 
next week which has always been 

87
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:31,200
one of my favorite parts of the 
country, you know, between just 

88
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,400
the bay area. 
But also like the wine region 

89
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:39,600
it's just to be it's like it's 
kind of like heaven on Earth in 

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,600
terms of, you know all those 
Wineries and ranches and 

91
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,100
everything you just, I love it. 
But also really just looking 

92
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:51,800
forward to the conversation. 
Prince, there's a slate of 

93
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,700
speakers who are, you know, not 
even just in the identity access

94
00:04:56,700 --> 00:05:00,400
management fee. 
So Serena Williams Magic Johnson

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,800
are going to be speakers, and, 
of course, a lot of the 

96
00:05:02,808 --> 00:05:07,300
executives from OCTA, as well as
some of their partner companies.

97
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,700
I'm just a really looking 
forward to learning a lot being 

98
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:15,000
around people who are thinking 
about, I am in the future, not 

99
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,200
just I am now, but I am in the 
future. 

100
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:20,100
Yes, it'll be. 
It'll be interesting and fun. 

101
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:23,300
I think I definitely give a 
shout-out to really multiple 

102
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:26,800
people talk to team but they've 
really been welcoming and really

103
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,200
kind of helping us get it. 
Set up for this including making

104
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,200
introductions with some folks 
that we don't want to put names 

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,700
out there yet. 
But we're going to have multiple

106
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,400
podcast episodes I think right 
now the plan is probably have 

107
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,900
something for like Wednesday, 
Thursday, Friday, maybe into the

108
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:45,200
following week as well. 
So we'll see how it goes. 

109
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,500
That's kind of like our our 
modus. 

110
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:51,800
I for when we hit a conference 
but definitely give a shout-out 

111
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,000
to Steven Strong. 
He's been like a super advocate 

112
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,700
for us and totally appreciate 
that. 

113
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:58,900
I think last time we talked 
about this, you know, he talked 

114
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:01,800
about his getting into his 15 
minutes of fame, so I will give 

115
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,800
you another few minutes towards 
that to towards that credit. 

116
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,600
So yeah, thanks so much Steven 
and definitely others. 

117
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,500
So as we get things kind of 
lined up this week I'm sure 

118
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:12,700
we'll have a whole bunch of 
people to thank and yeah, 

119
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:15,500
that'll be cool. 
So, yeah, and you mentioned some

120
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:17,900
of the some of the folks that 
will be there like sorry too. 

121
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,100
Williams and Magic Johnson, you 
know, that's kind of cool, 

122
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,300
right? 
I think you go to a conference 

123
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:25,000
and it's like, okay, it's great 
to hear, you know, form, like, 

124
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,400
you know, so-and-so product 
person, whatever, or like, some 

125
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,400
speaker in the industry. 
But it's always a treat when you

126
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,700
get to, you know, hear stories 
that are really outside of like 

127
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:35,400
the industry. 
Right? 

128
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,200
So I'm curious to see what Venus
and Magic are going to talk 

129
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200
about. 
Well it's not for you to Serena 

130
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:50,500
I'm sorry honey but you know I 
think what Yeah, I think so just

131
00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:54,100
name dropping those two, they're
not going to be on the pocket, 

132
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:56,700
be cool. 
But I don't know what we would 

133
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:59,200
talk about. 
Yeah, well I think we would 

134
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,000
figure something out if they if 
they if they decide they want to

135
00:07:02,008 --> 00:07:04,900
be on the Pike house. 
Yeah, invitation is open. 

136
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:10,300
I just think that they probably 
get a nice speaker fee and the 

137
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:13,400
identity of the sender podcast 
has yet to reach the level of 

138
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,800
which we pay speaker fees. 
Hey you never know. 

139
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400
I you know Serena magic, if you 
guys are listening you I can 

140
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,900
Want to come on, the 
world-famous identity access 

141
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:23,400
management podcast. 
Hit us up on LinkedIn. 

142
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,500
There we go. 
Yeah. 

143
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:28,300
There you, go offers open. 
What else we got going on? 

144
00:07:28,300 --> 00:07:31,100
So we're actually you had a 
conversation with Jerry, Gable 

145
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,200
friend of the show from Strada 
Identity or gas or 

146
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:36,900
orchestration. 
Easy for me to say. 

147
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:40,700
You guys talked about, I DQ L 
which is identity query 

148
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:45,400
language, and the hexa project 
which is this open source policy

149
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,200
orchestrator for multi-cloud 
which is Pretty cool. 

150
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,500
We're going to play that 
interview sort of like to end 

151
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:53,700
the show because it's about 
20-25 minutes. 

152
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:57,200
I think something like that. 
So that's kind of like coming up

153
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,100
but I think it certainly has a 
nice kind of like dovetail until

154
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:01,700
like where things are going, 
especially we start talking 

155
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:05,500
about authentication and 
multi-cloud and things like 

156
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:06,700
that. 
And I think you did a round 

157
00:08:06,700 --> 00:08:09,300
table recently where maybe 
something like that came up, 

158
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:10,500
right? 
Yeah. 

159
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,800
You know, shows on this connects
round table and it's really 

160
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,700
cool. 
I didn't know what to expect but

161
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,800
The participants were, you know,
the I am practitioners folks who

162
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,200
listen to this podcast, you 
know, same kind of you know 

163
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,000
daily responsibilities. 
And one of the questions that 

164
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,600
was asked at the end was if you 
had the magic wand, what I am 

165
00:08:36,299 --> 00:08:41,100
thing would you create? 
And you know, one of the folks 

166
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:48,500
described I think the exact 
thing that that strata what the 

167
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,800
identity orchestration looks to 
solve as so it could not making 

168
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,000
a shred of commercial here but 
you know, it validated to me 

169
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,200
that people out there needed a 
tool for and this is what 

170
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,100
identity orchestration is all 
about is, you know, coming up 

171
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:11,400
with an abstraction layer or 
platform where you connect 

172
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,900
identity services, like your 
single sign-on multi-factor 

173
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:19,800
tools along with Legacy 
Technologies and applications 

174
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,100
that are in your Cloud 
infrastructure. 

175
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:27,900
But like I said that kind of 
like validated to me that this 

176
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:32,000
identity orchestration is 
something that people actually 

177
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,500
need there. 
A couple other things I did come

178
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:39,200
up in that whole dialogue as 
well which was one that really 

179
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,300
jumped out at me was the piece 
around. 

180
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,400
I am policy. 
So not like policy 

181
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,400
orchestration. 
I'm I'm talking about technical 

182
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,100
policies but you know the 
Microsoft Word documents with 

183
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:56,600
the PDFs of like this is what 
Thou shalt do as an Enterprise 

184
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:01,300
employee and employee or an 
application over things like 

185
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,600
that. 
And I think one of the things I 

186
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,300
poked struggle with is you're 
balancing. 

187
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,700
Okay, we have all these 
compliance requirements, but we 

188
00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:14,700
also have legal requirements and
then we have security best 

189
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,300
practices and we want to meld 
all those things. 

190
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,500
Our policies them the question 
or the goal from there is to 

191
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,600
drive enforcement. 
So how are we getting? 

192
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,900
You know, first the knowledge 
that folks are actually using 

193
00:10:27,900 --> 00:10:33,700
these platforms and or complying
with the policies and then how 

194
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:38,900
do we increase the the 
compliance with our own policies

195
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:43,900
and it's just as you know, 
something that we've been, you 

196
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:47,300
know, solving in our I am 
strategy development for a long 

197
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,700
Long time, have we talked about 
a framework and so, I was able 

198
00:10:50,700 --> 00:10:53,500
to kind of contribute that to 
the group, which is, hey, this 

199
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:55,600
might not be the one and only 
answer. 

200
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,300
But this is how we solve this in
the past, which is really like, 

201
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,000
you know, first off using those 
policies as a way to drive 

202
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,200
adoption of your IM platforms by
saying, if you're using our 

203
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,600
single sign-on, if you're using 
our Pam in RI GA, you know, the 

204
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,700
I am program offering of those 
Technologies. 

205
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:20,400
Well, that your Flying across 
all these policies that were 

206
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,200
driving your the password policy
things like that. 

207
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:29,100
And yeah. 
So you know that was kind of one

208
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:32,000
of the things that I was able to
contribute was that you can get 

209
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,200
to that and then you know where 
you don't have compliance. 

210
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,700
Yeah. 
You do need to check and folks 

211
00:11:36,700 --> 00:11:39,900
that are out of compliance that.
In other words, not following 

212
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:45,100
your corporate security or I a 
policies, it's kind of like 

213
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:47,000
that. 
I'd have a better way to put it 

214
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,600
but now Almond shape. 
So it kind of like you know 

215
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,000
identify put a spotlight on 
that. 

216
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,300
This is where we're not 
compliant. 

217
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:56,900
This is where we're we're not 
following our own policies. 

218
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:01,000
Yeah I think it sounds like a 
good conversation. 

219
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,900
Is it sounds to me also like it.
Maybe it was something very 

220
00:12:03,900 --> 00:12:05,800
specific to specific group of 
people. 

221
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,500
So this is not something it's 
like publicly available that 

222
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:10,000
people can check out. 
Yeah. 

223
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,100
Unfortunately that's the way 
these these membership has its 

224
00:12:14,100 --> 00:12:17,200
privileges membership. 
Has its privileges but I think 

225
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,700
it Nobody's interested. 
I can certainly link them into 

226
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:26,700
the folks of context so they can
be invited to future events. 

227
00:12:26,700 --> 00:12:28,300
I just reach out to me and like 
them. 

228
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:31,800
Yeah, I did something similar 
for the retail and Hospitality. 

229
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,300
I sock group information, 
sharing and Analysis Center. 

230
00:12:36,300 --> 00:12:38,100
Talked about ransomware and 
identity. 

231
00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:41,700
And that's one of those things 
where, you know, it's a, it's a 

232
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:45,000
similar actually, you know, kind
of an updated version of the 

233
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,200
presentation that that you 
ditched me on. 

234
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,100
I'm at last year's, authenticate
talking about smart, I am to 

235
00:12:51,108 --> 00:12:53,900
reduce ransomware. 
And so I kind of updated version

236
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:56,400
of that. 
So I think you're going now, 

237
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,800
we're even so. 
So if you're in the retail and 

238
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:05,000
hospitality industry, definitely
check out our hias a c.org. 

239
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,000
It's a great group of folks that
really kind of come to go to 

240
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,500
kind of share information around
information security in general 

241
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,100
around retail and hospitality 
industries. 

242
00:13:15,100 --> 00:13:17,300
So might be something worth 
checking out. 

243
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,700
That's good folks over there and
you know, membership has its 

244
00:13:19,700 --> 00:13:21,000
privileges. 
You can you can check out a 

245
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,300
replay of of the webinar, I did 
on that. 

246
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:28,000
So so we're going to think go 
ahead did want to mention one 

247
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,600
other thing, which is, you know,
I kind of feel like it's in our 

248
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,500
nature. 
We're both 20 years in this 

249
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:37,800
industry that we're really 
focused on giving back, so it's 

250
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,400
between this podcast and doing 
events like that. 

251
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,400
But I also don't think you have 
to be in the industry for 20 

252
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:48,300
years to give back. 
I wanted to give a shot Shout to

253
00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:51,100
Andrew, Chantal phone that I get
his last name, right, chance 

254
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:52,400
bun. 
You did you got it? 

255
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:58,700
I nailed it for a change but 
he's put out a LinkedIn class 

256
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:01,100
that he led. 
My really, you know, just more 

257
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,800
or less been following it on his
LinkedIn post. 

258
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,700
I haven't actually gone out and 
done the training yet. 

259
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:08,800
But they're shout out to Andrew 
because I think the first time 

260
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,100
we talked to him is heading to 
new in the industry and trying 

261
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:17,200
to give back at kind of this 
early stages. 

262
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,500
Career and it's really admirable
that he's doing that. 

263
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:25,500
He's putting himself out there, 
he's not afraid to you know make

264
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:30,100
a mistake or something like that
and I think that's a good 

265
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:37,400
leadership you know but 
everybody quality to have right 

266
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,200
there. 
Yeah I mean putting putting 

267
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,600
herself out there is not easy 
right? 

268
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,100
We do this podcast to do for a 
while every every time is a 

269
00:14:43,108 --> 00:14:47,200
journey but you know, my hats 
off to anybody who produces. 

270
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:50,300
Content for other people to 
consume, doesn't matter what it 

271
00:14:50,300 --> 00:14:52,500
is. 
Every one of those folks are 

272
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,800
putting themselves out there and
yeah, sometimes, you know, 

273
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,800
sometimes it's good content, 
sometimes it's not right. 

274
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:03,300
And if they're, you know, you 
can get easily kind of bogged 

275
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:07,300
down in the details especially 
if you're wrong on something. 

276
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,200
And I think it's okay to be 
aware that. 

277
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,300
Yeah, you're probably make a 
statement to stake at some point

278
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:14,200
and as long as you're willing to
own up to it. 

279
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:14,800
But yeah. 
Okay. 

280
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,900
Yeah let me correct that or 
change my way of Or whatever, 

281
00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:20,500
you know what? 
It looks like that's cool too. 

282
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:23,600
So I think the more people who 
are out there contributing and 

283
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,700
Andrew is certainly one of them,
you know, I'm excited. 

284
00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:28,700
So he's got next, he's got 
another class that he's working 

285
00:15:28,700 --> 00:15:30,600
on. 
I didn't want to spoil his 

286
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,800
thunder. 
So you know, I've invited him as

287
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,600
I hate when you're ready, you 
know, let's publicize it on on 

288
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,500
our podcast, he's got his 
LinkedIn Channel, but there are 

289
00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:40,800
others that are doing the same 
and yeah, I think having more 

290
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,800
viewpoints in the world that 
people could consume and take as

291
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,800
a data point for their own 
decision-making. 

292
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:49,700
Just makes everyone smarter And 
makes it easier for everybody to

293
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,900
get better, you know, every day.
So, totally agree with that one.

294
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,400
Yeah, you know, Andrews been on 
a mission to bring more people 

295
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,900
into the industry. 
I saw Bill Nelson, put out the 

296
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,100
ID, Pro monthly newsletter email
and he cited a statistic, where 

297
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,100
the I am industry is expected to
double in the next five years 

298
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:19,700
from 13 billion 226 billion. 
It's not too late to join the 

299
00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:22,500
party folks. 
That's exactly right. 

300
00:16:22,500 --> 00:16:25,900
Yeah, I'd love to see more 
content around the business. 

301
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:28,200
Side of I am. 
There's lots of Technical 

302
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,800
Training and sort of, like, you 
know, here's how to do X inside 

303
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,800
of why application. 
What I don't see a lot is sort 

304
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,900
of like all the intangibles that
sit between sort of like the 

305
00:16:37,900 --> 00:16:40,600
engineering aspect and sort of 
like the information of how to 

306
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,700
do things and the real world, 
right. 

307
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:45,600
How do you get buy-in from the 
business? 

308
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,900
How do you run? 
And I am program. 

309
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,000
How do you know what are some 
things to think about if you're 

310
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,300
establishing policies and 
procedures are standards for 

311
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:55,800
things like that. 
So I think that's something 

312
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,200
that, you know, we might see 
some some uptick in in the next 

313
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,400
couple of years, I don't want to
spoil any things that we might 

314
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,700
be, you know, working on. 
But that is an area that I think

315
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,900
more people contributing to the 
better for everybody. 

316
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,599
Absolutely. 
Alright. 

317
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,300
So let's get to your 
conversation. 

318
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:14,800
You had with Jerry. 
But before we do that, I 

319
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,200
mentioned that I was in the RV 
capital of the World, Elkhart 

320
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,300
Indiana, I think earlier on, I 
didn't realize that it was the 

321
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,099
RV capital of the world. 
I guess I kind of knew in the 

322
00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:24,900
back of my head because of kind 
of live in the Chicago area for 

323
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:28,200
so long. 
But did you know that there is a

324
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:35,200
RV /, manufactured housing, or 
manufactured home Hall of Fame? 

325
00:17:35,900 --> 00:17:39,700
I was not aware of that. 
Yeah, so it is across the street

326
00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:45,500
from our SM offices in Elkhart. 
Yeah, I have not been to it, but

327
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:47,900
I wasn't aware that there was, 
there was Thing. 

328
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:52,300
Yeah, I mean, there's, you know,
one thing that I found out is 

329
00:17:52,300 --> 00:17:57,100
that there are so many different
manufacturers of RVs & 

330
00:17:57,100 --> 00:18:02,000
motorhomes. 
I had a Jayco brand and that, 

331
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,100
you know, one of the big trends 
right now is that there are 

332
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,900
sites that are kind of like 
airbnb's for RVs. 

333
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,200
So you, if you have one, it's in
decent condition. 

334
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,000
You can print it out which I 
think is super cool. 

335
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,300
It's parked on a lot of And 
you've kind of got almost like a

336
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:20,400
tiny home, right? 
Yeah. 

337
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,500
Well, most people know, it's not
even to leave it on land. 

338
00:18:23,500 --> 00:18:27,000
I mean that the idea is that 
people can actually drive it and

339
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000
okay. 
So yeah and so, you know, I 

340
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,600
think the most people who have 
RVs, at least what I had an RV 

341
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:35,900
is like use a couple times a 
year. 

342
00:18:35,908 --> 00:18:38,900
And for the most part, you're 
paying insurance and maintenance

343
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:45,900
and all, and, you know, taxes, 
basically registration taxes for

344
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:48,800
to sit there and not get used. 
So if you're able to read it out

345
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,000
and recoup some of that money. 
And also, I mean, I think one of

346
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,900
the great things about Airbnb is
not only the fact that you can 

347
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,700
make money from the, you know, 
from renting out your place. 

348
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:01,900
But also to somebody else, gets 
to enjoy it and somebody else 

349
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,900
gets to build their experiences 
there. 

350
00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:07,700
So, yeah, I think it's kind of 
contributing to the good in the 

351
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:10,600
world. 
So it's got me thinking, you 

352
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,800
know, we usually lighter note 
the end, but we're going to end 

353
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,300
this episode with your 
conversation with Jerry. 

354
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,400
Let's do that. 
Now what? 

355
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:24,400
Does your perfect RV look like? 
So I I had an RV like I 

356
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,300
mentioned it was a classy. 
But it was 40 foot too big. 

357
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:31,800
It was like it was not even a 
little whom, is it be home on 

358
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,700
Wheels. 
So definitely have to be smaller

359
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:39,100
more maneuverable. 
And it would have to have, you 

360
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:43,200
know, either some kind of 
vehicle that came out of the 

361
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,700
side or that you dragged behind 
it. 

362
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:50,500
Because if you're going to Have 
that kind of motor home then? 

363
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,600
Actually, I think I would just 
rather than that, as pull 

364
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,200
something behind, but I 
definitely would like to get on 

365
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,900
the electric Trend. 
Okay? 

366
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,300
So, the main point is what I 
really wanted to say about my, 

367
00:20:04,500 --> 00:20:08,900
my dream RV would be that the 
worst part of having an RV is 

368
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:11,600
doing the sewer. 
It's disgusting. 

369
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:14,900
You have like, basically this 
long tube that you hook from the

370
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:20,200
side of your RV into this train,
A pipe and you have to like 

371
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,200
drain out your your black water 
which is the worst stuff and 

372
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,300
then flush it out with your gray
water. 

373
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:29,700
It's like a process that you go 
through to basically clean out 

374
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:32,400
your, your sewage tank is 
disgusting. 

375
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:36,900
And if you have any kind of 
mistaken, you better put on 

376
00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:40,200
plastic gloves every time 
because the one time that you 

377
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,400
don't, you're going to get some 
sewage on your hands and you, it

378
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:48,700
doesn't just wash off it stinks.
You're not you're not really 

379
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:52,600
helping me, you know, want to do
this very much, but I was 

380
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,700
thinking like I'm the same like 
I want something that's easy and

381
00:20:55,700 --> 00:21:00,800
I think something that is like 
an electrified version of a RV 

382
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,700
of some sort would be kind of 
cool. 

383
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:07,100
Yeah, I want the bells and 
whistles like I want Wi-Fi. 

384
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,900
You know, I want to basically 
have like a hotel room on 

385
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:11,200
Wheels. 
It's kind of a, but I'm thinking

386
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,900
about it. 
Yeah, I actually had a VW 

387
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:19,400
Vanagon back in the 90s and they
were built mostly in the 80s. 

388
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,400
It was like, look, you don't 
have the shower and the toilet, 

389
00:21:24,408 --> 00:21:26,500
but most campgrounds, have those
things. 

390
00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:30,500
So if you're willing to use 
public stuff for that, I mean 

391
00:21:30,508 --> 00:21:33,900
it's it's really convenient 
because you can park it on a 

392
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:38,700
normal parking spot, and it's 
got a cool factor to and BMW, 

393
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:42,500
has a has a, their updated ID 
that buzz is there, electrified 

394
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:46,700
little VW band. 
Type thing, coming out, coming 

395
00:21:46,700 --> 00:21:47,900
out Out. 
But you know what? 

396
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:51,400
They've been talking about that 
going to help for like decades 

397
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,600
now. 
I mean, seriously think it's 

398
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,700
closed. 
I think it's like within the 

399
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,700
next year or so it's already 
being driven around and sort of 

400
00:21:57,700 --> 00:22:00,500
tested. 
So it will be sold out 

401
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:02,900
constantly. 
You'll have every order animals.

402
00:22:02,900 --> 00:22:05,800
So yeah, that's true. 
But even if it wasn't even if 

403
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,000
electric vehicles weren't going,
the way they are VW stuff. 

404
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,700
Has just so much demand. 
I'm surprised they haven't 

405
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:14,600
released it sooner. 
Cara. 

406
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:17,800
Okay. 
Anything else before we hear 

407
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:18,900
from yourself? 
A Jerry? 

408
00:22:19,700 --> 00:22:24,000
No, I'm going to be rooting for 
my Georgia, Bulldogs today and 

409
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,700
the Philadelphia Phillies 
because I'm not a Houston Astros

410
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:31,500
fan. 
So let the hate mail flow so 

411
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:35,500
Phillies and I guess anti Astros
is how your position is. 

412
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,100
Yeah. 
And I'd like the Bulldogs over 

413
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:43,600
the volunteers of Tennessee and 
I have zero positions on either.

414
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:46,400
Let's get into your conversation
with Jerry. 

415
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,400
Thanks everyone for listening 
and we'll see everybody at 

416
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,800
Octane and then in a few days 
I'm here with Jerry, Gable head 

417
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,500
of standards as shred identity. 
Hi Jerry. 

418
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Hey, Jim great to be back with 
you, great to have you again, we

419
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,200
saw each other Gardner recently,
it was great to see you and we 

420
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,900
decided we needed to catch back 
up with this. 

421
00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:11,100
Is your second time on the 
identity at the center podcast. 

422
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,100
So you know, the normal routine 
is we ask Q. 

423
00:23:14,300 --> 00:23:17,800
How did you get into identity? 
But since we already got that 

424
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,600
story from you and anyone who's 
interested in checking that out 

425
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,200
they should go back to that. 
Episode my question more is 

426
00:23:25,300 --> 00:23:29,200
what's what's been? 
What's new for you? 

427
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,000
Since the last time you're on 
the podcast? 

428
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,700
I know there were some new 
things getting started and 

429
00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:36,200
hopefully you have an update for
us. 

430
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Yeah, I sure do and I know we'll
get into that as we as we 

431
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,000
continue here but yes, it was 
great to see you at the gardener

432
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,300
identity. 
On Friends. 

433
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:49,800
It reminded me of my actually my
first visit to the first 

434
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,400
Gardener identity conference 
back in the day, I think it was 

435
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:54,700
circuit two thousand six or 
seven. 

436
00:23:55,300 --> 00:23:59,000
I was a burden group at the time
and I tried to get Gartner to 

437
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,900
give me a comp tickets to the 
show, you know, just because we 

438
00:24:01,900 --> 00:24:04,500
wanted to check it out, of 
course, identity had been a big 

439
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:07,600
part of the burden group 
Catalyst conferences for many 

440
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,600
years and because Gardner had 
got an idea. 

441
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,500
Hey, this is a big thing, we 
should get into it. 

442
00:24:13,700 --> 00:24:15,900
As well. 
But that was it was interesting 

443
00:24:15,900 --> 00:24:18,700
to see their show the first time
around and you know it's 

444
00:24:18,700 --> 00:24:21,000
definitely one of the better 
identity conferences in the 

445
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,400
industry these days. 
So it's definitely a must-see 

446
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,900
for folks that wanted to see and
hear what gardeners thinking 

447
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:31,100
about on the identity landscape.
Yeah. 

448
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:34,200
One of my favorite things about 
their conferences that you meet,

449
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,700
a lot of people who are new to 
the space who are trying to wrap

450
00:24:37,700 --> 00:24:40,700
their brains around it. 
And I think Gardner does a 

451
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:46,200
really good job of kind of No 
making things understandable for

452
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,700
folks who are coming from a 
different perspective, maybe 

453
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,800
other parts of it or other parts
of the business and trying to 

454
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,500
wrap the rate their brains 
around this thing of what is 

455
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:58,600
identity? 
Access management. 

456
00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:00,100
Yeah, I totally agree with that 
end. 

457
00:25:00,100 --> 00:25:03,100
In there were several really 
good presentations by buying 

458
00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:06,200
some of the analysts and 
definitely enjoyed that part of 

459
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,900
the event. 
But you also ask the you know, 

460
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:12,600
what's new here on on the front 
front lines of identity 

461
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,100
orchestration and what I've been
working on, I think last year 

462
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:21,800
when we spoke might have been 
the first public mention of the 

463
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,700
identity query language standard
that we've been working on. 

464
00:25:25,700 --> 00:25:30,200
So that's been been my focus at 
people like to come on this 

465
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,300
podcast, to break big news. 
So, well, when you, if you want 

466
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:36,900
to say, you heard it here first,
it's actually true. 

467
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:42,300
So kudos to you guys for wanting
to learn more about that, but 

468
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:45,800
since then we've been doing Lot 
of work on the project, a lot of

469
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,000
work on the open source heart of
it that we call hexa hvx. 

470
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,500
A and the I guess the other big 
news is that over the summer 

471
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,400
over this past summer the CN CF.
The cloud need of computing 

472
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:04,600
Foundation accepted by 2 ql and 
hexa as a Sandbox project. 

473
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,800
So that's a huge milestone for 
us. 

474
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:11,000
Congratulations on that. 
That took a lot of work. 

475
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I'm sure, you know, one of the 
things that we like to do with 

476
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,500
the podcast is not lose people 
too quickly, right? 

477
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:25,000
So maybe we start at the basics 
is shredded identity of solving 

478
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,700
a problem. 
The solution is called identity 

479
00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:32,900
orchestration, but the problem 
is really around this 

480
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:39,400
multi-cloud, Pidp situation that
so many companies are in as not 

481
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:45,100
just big multi multinational 
conglomerate corporations but 

482
00:26:45,100 --> 00:26:50,200
it's even mid-sized companies. 
So maybe talk about that problem

483
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,900
a little bit and what you guys 
do with the identity 

484
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,400
orchestration to kind of solve 
it. 

485
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,500
Absolutely the identity 
orchestration is really a new 

486
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:02,900
technique and new technology 
within the identity industry 

487
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:05,400
these days. 
You know, it's strata is Is the 

488
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,700
one really to I identify this as
something new and different, and

489
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:12,700
to invent the concept and it's 
really about building an 

490
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:16,500
abstraction layer between your 
applications. 

491
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:19,600
And all of the identity 
infrastructure that those 

492
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,600
applications consume them 
primarily we talked about idps, 

493
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,700
you've identity providers were 
authentication providers and 

494
00:27:26,700 --> 00:27:30,200
things of that nature. 
But yeah, it's this abstraction 

495
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,100
that decouples your apps from 
the identity function. 

496
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,200
It's so that you can do a lot 
of, you know, more flexible 

497
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,200
things today with software that 
you could not do previously, you

498
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,700
know, if you wanted to modernize
the authentication of an 

499
00:27:46,700 --> 00:27:49,500
application, you actually had to
rewrite that part of the app. 

500
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:55,200
For example, you know, if you 
want to add MFA or password list

501
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,600
to existing applications, it's 
really difficult to modernize 

502
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,100
them in that way because, you 
know, they weren't maybe some of

503
00:28:02,100 --> 00:28:05,700
them weren't even built for 
Samuel, you know, maybe A lot of

504
00:28:05,700 --> 00:28:08,900
Legacy applications that are 
very important to distances, 

505
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,600
still use things like ldap 
authentication. 

506
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:17,100
He was so how can you break that
Bond and you modernize that to 

507
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:21,600
you, something like open ID, 
connect and in addition add-on 

508
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,800
MFA, or password list where 
needed. 

509
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,300
So that's what an identity 
orchestration, abstraction layer

510
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:32,900
can accomplish because you 
connect the idps MFA and other 

511
00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:38,000
identity functions to the Fabric
to the abstraction layer and the

512
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,800
orchestration is the you've sort
of the flow of what happens when

513
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,300
a session is initiated, you 
know, I'm a business user trying

514
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:48,200
to access a certain application 
which I DP. 

515
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,200
Should I go to, for certain 
parts of that application? 

516
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,400
Maybe they're more sensitive. 
I need to use a step-up 

517
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,200
authentication or MFA. 
And again the identity 

518
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,100
orchestration layer can manage 
that sort of session flow until 

519
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,100
Open. 
Ultimately, you get the 

520
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:10,900
application, the information it 
needs to to properly establish 

521
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:13,200
the user session. 
Yeah. 

522
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:18,700
That abstraction layer I mean 
that seems to be the you know 

523
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:24,300
such a common architectural 
principle now and how you take 

524
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:30,500
Legacy applications 
infrastructure and kind of you 

525
00:29:30,508 --> 00:29:34,500
know integrate them with with 
modern Technologies and it 

526
00:29:34,500 --> 00:29:38,800
sounds like Really, that's what 
the identity orchestration is 

527
00:29:38,808 --> 00:29:42,200
really about and it provides 
that Rosetta Stone because 

528
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,300
that's the hard part. 
Right? 

529
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:47,600
Is like you know, when I think 
about all of these applications 

530
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,900
is they all are not only 
applications but platforms, Etc.

531
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,600
They all have their own way of 
integrating communicating 

532
00:29:58,100 --> 00:30:01,300
providing authentication. 
So is the identity orchestration

533
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:03,300
layer. 
From what I understand that you 

534
00:30:03,300 --> 00:30:05,600
know provides that Rosetta 
Stone. 

535
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,800
So that you as a practitioner 
you as a company don't have to 

536
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,700
solve this for all of the 
platforms that you need to 

537
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:15,500
integrate. 
That's right because when we 

538
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:18,500
talk to customers you know so 
many of them have you know 

539
00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:21,200
hundreds of applications, maybe 
a few thousand. 

540
00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:26,300
So if you think about you 
incorporating password list for 

541
00:30:26,300 --> 00:30:32,200
each of them you just you don't 
have enough time or resources or

542
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,300
budget to accomplish that but 
instead You the orchestration 

543
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:40,900
layer, connects to the 
applications and you connect the

544
00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:44,900
MFA or password lives or the IDP
to the orchestration layer and 

545
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:48,100
we can coordinate. 
We can broker those interactions

546
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:52,800
in a much more efficient way so 
that's what strata and Identity 

547
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,600
orchestration or all about. 
Can I ask you a question here is

548
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,200
to talk about is this terms of 
Legacy? 

549
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,300
Yes yeah when we talk about this
term Legacy, I know it you know 

550
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:07,500
one point my career I meant one 
thing and one thing only which 

551
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:13,000
was the green screen, nowadays? 
I mean, you can talk about like,

552
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:19,600
well certainly, any kind of like
corba or Java applications even 

553
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:26,000
but it, you know more like web 
enabled applications, maybe 

554
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,100
header, based authentication. 
So how far back can you go? 

555
00:31:30,100 --> 00:31:31,700
I mean, when are you talking 
about? 

556
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:35,000
You can even integrate the the 
green screens into some of these

557
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,600
Idps or just it's just not 
possible with the technology. 

558
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,900
Yeah, it's a wide range of 
Technology of application 

559
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:46,400
technologies that can be 
supported, definitely had her 

560
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,900
based apps, you know, that's 
sort of table Stakes. 

561
00:31:49,900 --> 00:31:53,900
You need to be able to bring 
those older applications that 

562
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:55,300
still have a lot of business 
value. 

563
00:31:55,300 --> 00:31:58,700
You need to continue to bring 
them forward into into the 

564
00:31:58,700 --> 00:32:01,600
modern way of managing them and 
so yeah. 

565
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,700
So there's, you know, there's 
definitely techniques for 

566
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:06,700
dealing with them and Kerberos 
Stamps for example. 

567
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,300
Yeah I remember kind of some my 
my earlier projects in my ID 

568
00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:17,100
career was you know, building 
web interfaces to Mainframe 

569
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:21,000
applications and you know, those
were not fun projects. 

570
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:23,500
A lot of screen scraping and 
stuff going on in the 

571
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:27,000
background. 
Yeah, they're still out there, 

572
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,200
right? 
The, you know, the mainframes 

573
00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:31,000
will will be out there for, for 
quite a long time. 

574
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,600
Yeah, absolutely. 
So, You would mention the 

575
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:42,300
updates to the new standards. 
Would you kind of give a little 

576
00:32:42,300 --> 00:32:46,200
bit more background of what 
their standards are all about? 

577
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,100
And kind of what the process is 
like that. 

578
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,400
You're going through because 
you're the head of standards. 

579
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:58,300
What does it mean to kind of 
develop a standard and get 

580
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:00,700
people to buy into it was that 
whole process? 

581
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:04,100
Like, but me first, start with 
just like the update on the 

582
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:06,500
those two particular Sinners. 
Sure. 

583
00:33:07,300 --> 00:33:09,000
Yes. 
So we talked about identity 

584
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,500
orchestration here. 
Neo to how do you deal with 

585
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:15,500
applications deployed across 
multiple clouds and you still 

586
00:33:15,500 --> 00:33:21,000
hybrid deployments dealing with 
multiple idps and you all other 

587
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,800
kinds of authentication and that
abuse providers. 

588
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,000
If we think about policy 
orchestration, it sort of the, 

589
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:33,800
you the flip side of that. 
Because each Cloud platform each

590
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,700
major Cloud platform has its own
way of defining access policy 

591
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:41,200
and how they enforce it. 
And this is true also up and 

592
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,500
down the stack you know from the
application to the 

593
00:33:43,500 --> 00:33:48,200
infrastructure and platform to 
the data level and even to 

594
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,800
networks you can zero trust 
network access. 

595
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,700
So you have all of these 
different And policy formats 

596
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:58,200
then think about, you know, how 
difficult it is to manage that 

597
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,500
just you know, from a staffing 
perspective you need skill sets 

598
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:05,900
now and all of these different 
areas because each of those 

599
00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:12,300
systems manages access in a 
primarily, a proprietary way and

600
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:18,300
then also how difficult it is to
really govern that sort of 

601
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,199
complex environment who has 
access to what it's still a very

602
00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:24,199
difficult. 
Question to answer. 

603
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,400
So, when we looked at this 
space, we came up with the idea 

604
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:35,500
of identity query language or I 
dql as a way to generically 

605
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,199
define the access policy. 
So it's a declarative format. 

606
00:34:40,699 --> 00:34:45,400
That's meant to describe you. 
The vast majority of use cases, 

607
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,600
but it's not just to be clear, 
it's not a runtime policy 

608
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,699
decisioning or enforcement 
mechanism, it's it. 

609
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,400
Way to Define policy in a 
generic format and then the hexa

610
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,100
software that I mentioned 
before, Tech say is an open 

611
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:07,200
source software project that 
implements, I dql and translates

612
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,000
that I dql into the bespoke OR 
imperative format of the target 

613
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,200
system. 
So you can imagine that over 

614
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,200
time as we have more and more 
Integrations and connections 

615
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:22,800
available, you'll be able to 
bring in more and more access. 

616
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:26,000
These from these different 
Target systems and be able to 

617
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,800
manage them in a single way, be 
able to do reporting analytics 

618
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,200
governance on them. 
And also just use the power or 

619
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:39,500
of the the hex ni de que. 
El model to manage many, many 

620
00:35:39,500 --> 00:35:42,900
Target systems in a uniform and 
consistent way. 

621
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,100
So that's what that's why we 
came up with the idea of this 

622
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:53,200
project and the folks at at 
strata you know, our From our 

623
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,300
Founders and management team. 
They were part of the sam'l 

624
00:35:56,300 --> 00:35:59,100
definition, way back in the day,
right? 

625
00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:04,700
So we have folks here there were
co-authors of sam'l, so we, it's

626
00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:09,800
really in our DNA to support and
really invest in Industry 

627
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,600
standards. 
And we felt strongly enough that

628
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:16,300
this is not something just that 
strata should consume, but that 

629
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:19,200
it should be, you know, part of 
an industry wide effort, to try 

630
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,200
to address some of these 
challenges that customers are 

631
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,900
facing And so samples are 
standard. 

632
00:36:24,900 --> 00:36:27,700
They're really took off Wade. 
I think if you're listening to 

633
00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:30,900
this podcast, you're probably 
well familiar with Sam. 

634
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:37,700
Oh, what does it take to get? 
That kind of, you know, ubiquity

635
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:42,700
in a standard. 
Yeah, it does take a lot of lot 

636
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:46,900
of effort, a lot of coordination
and and time commitment. 

637
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,900
So what we did was we started 
out writing, you know, the the 

638
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:54,600
Baseline. 
White paper, if you will 

639
00:36:54,800 --> 00:37:00,300
describing what what it, what I 
dql consisted of, and we started

640
00:37:00,300 --> 00:37:03,800
looking around talking to to 
customers and partners and 

641
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:09,000
seeing who was interested to get
in at the start, and really help

642
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,300
to build this out. 
So we talked to a lot of 

643
00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:15,400
customer organizations about, 
you know, some of their issues 

644
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,600
and and then it death, you know,
the concept definitely resonated

645
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,000
with them. 
They saw this as a challenge 

646
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,600
that really It was on met by a 
lot of the you, the primary 

647
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:31,500
vendors in this space today. 
And and so we use the, you know,

648
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:36,300
the customer review here to help
help build the the impetus and 

649
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:42,500
the momentum behind the effort. 
And we also started building the

650
00:37:42,500 --> 00:37:46,700
hexa open source software 
because it's, we weren't 

651
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:50,000
starting out to just Define a 
specification, you know, pretty 

652
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,700
much anyone can do that, but we 
wanted to Show that it could 

653
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:57,200
actually work, you know? 
So that's why we have the hex 

654
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,100
open source project as a 
component of this whole project 

655
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,700
is to show that we can take, you
know, I dql and convert it to 

656
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:11,100
you the Google Cloud platform 
format or as yours or AWS, you 

657
00:38:11,100 --> 00:38:14,300
know, that we can connect to 
those platforms and using their 

658
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:19,300
public apis to discover. 
What application resources are 

659
00:38:19,300 --> 00:38:22,100
there within a domain or 
project? 

660
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,800
What a access policies are 
already defined, you know, pull 

661
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:29,100
them in, translate them to the, 
I dql format. 

662
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Now we've got you know, many 
applications, many systems in in

663
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,700
the administrative view so we 
can manage them from there. 

664
00:38:37,700 --> 00:38:41,400
We can make changes to that 
policy and then retranslated to 

665
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:46,100
the imperative or bespoke format
of the target system and use 

666
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,600
orchestrations and push that out
there and activated. 

667
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:52,500
And and again I'll reinforce 
that we don't replace. 

668
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:56,300
Runtime decision or enforcement 
functions. 

669
00:38:56,700 --> 00:39:01,200
We are just an administrative 
function of managing the access 

670
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,600
policy itself. 
Yeah, right. 

671
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,900
I mean, it's just a Rosetta 
Stone that we talked about, 

672
00:39:06,900 --> 00:39:09,100
right? 
So we got, you know, so we 

673
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:12,200
developed this working group, we
started working on the open 

674
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,500
source. 
We built out and rode the first 

675
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:19,100
edition of the specification. 
And earlier this year, we 

676
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,700
submitted a proposal into the 
cloud native computing. 

677
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:27,000
The foundation because we wanted
to be part of an industry 

678
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,700
organization that was 
vendor-neutral that had all of 

679
00:39:30,700 --> 00:39:33,800
the protections you know of 
until actual property and so on.

680
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,400
So that as new contributors came
on to the project they would 

681
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,000
have the the Comfort or the 
confidence of being within that 

682
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:47,200
sort of intellectual property 
regime and and then early in the

683
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,400
summer we got approval for for a
Sandbox project as I as I 

684
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,300
mentioned. 
Earlier. 

685
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,500
So now we're, you know, we're 
opening up that working group 

686
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,500
membership to more and more 
people, bringing more and more 

687
00:40:00,500 --> 00:40:03,600
folks into the project and you 
know we're just continuing 

688
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,600
onward and upward and in trying 
to build more more momentum and 

689
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,000
you know, eventually get to that
point where we see idq all being

690
00:40:12,300 --> 00:40:14,900
a common standard implemented in
the industry. 

691
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,300
That's yeah to me that seems 
like that's the mark of success.

692
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:23,300
It's kind of like when you have 
a child raise the child And then

693
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:26,600
they move out of your house and 
they go live their own life that

694
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,400
it's kind of, like success on 
child rearing and it seems like 

695
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,600
right developing a standard 
Europe, Angela lysing. 

696
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,100
It you're bringing other people 
into the fold or some point, it 

697
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:39,500
kind of goes off and lives the 
life of its own. 

698
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,200
It does ultimately it has to go 
out into the wild on its own and

699
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,500
stand on its own merits. 
You're right, you're right about

700
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:48,100
that. 
So I know you're you're we had 

701
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:51,600
Gary verow on the yes, on the 
podcast. 

702
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:56,300
Couple weeks back. 
He's running the Chrysalis 

703
00:40:56,300 --> 00:40:59,100
conference and you're going to 
be one of the speakers. 

704
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:02,200
You're on a panel, they're 
talking about this very topic. 

705
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,000
So I guess that's part of the 
evangelization of the standard, 

706
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,600
right? 
Is generating awareness and what

707
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,000
else is are you hoping to get 
out of being on that panel? 

708
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:17,800
Yeah it's definitely creating 
more and more awareness. 

709
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,600
You know them Gary and team of 
are putting together a great. 

710
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:26,300
Content of the Gent, you know? 
And agenda of content for for 

711
00:41:26,300 --> 00:41:30,600
Crystal has again this year and 
we think it's you know another 

712
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:35,600
good audience to talk about the 
ID ql standard and how far we've

713
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,900
come and the things we want to 
do in the future. 

714
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:41,200
You know the things we have on 
our roadmap and so be on a panel

715
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,500
with way delery of brilliant 
logic. 

716
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:46,700
But it's done, I guess, two or 
three webinars with, in the past

717
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,400
Pam, Dingle is going to be on 
there from the ahead of Sanders 

718
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:55,600
from Microsoft as well. 
Patrick from Ping Identity, it's

719
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,000
going to be on the panel. 
So I think it'll be interesting.

720
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:01,900
Definitely some different 
viewpoints to talk about there. 

721
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,800
Yeah, I guess, you know, 
probably one of the keys on 

722
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:12,100
getting a standard adopted, 
these days, just getting support

723
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:17,100
adoption of the standard by some
of the the what they call Big 

724
00:42:17,100 --> 00:42:20,800
Tech Amazon. 
Microsoft, Google, right? 

725
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,100
I mean, that's kind of like when
They're kind of buying into it. 

726
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:27,500
I think I would think that's, 
you know, what can really make 

727
00:42:27,500 --> 00:42:31,600
this thing take off it, can, you
know, that's even it's obviously

728
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,600
very helpful to get a big 
Marquee, vendor like that 

729
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,800
involved in the process and 
we've been having some of those 

730
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,300
conversations. 
But it, I said earlier, it's 

731
00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:45,900
also important that vendors hear
about this from the customer 

732
00:42:45,900 --> 00:42:50,700
side from the Enterprise side, 
and we're starting to see some 

733
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:54,000
of that happen. 
And then also, So we've gotten 

734
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,700
quite a bit of coverage from 
Gartner, you mentioned. 

735
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:59,900
You speaking of the identity 
conference that you I saw you 

736
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:04,300
had recently you know I dql is 
being tracked by the analyst 

737
00:43:04,300 --> 00:43:07,200
Community as well. 
Uniteq Vision, Gartner Forrester

738
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,700
and others and you know, that's 
also helping to raise awareness 

739
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:15,000
of it, get from the Enterprise 
customer side of things. 

740
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,300
Yeah, I think one of the cool 
things also about the crystals 

741
00:43:19,300 --> 00:43:23,900
conference is, you know, you had
mentioned June that Gartner 

742
00:43:23,900 --> 00:43:27,800
conference back in 2006 and I 
think that was my first Gartner 

743
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,300
conference says, well, you know,
that was when I was kind of like

744
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:36,500
really getting into this 
industry and I think I was also 

745
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:40,600
at the burden group conference a
year, but that aside and digital

746
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,200
ID world is like I said and all 
the conference's van I was going

747
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:49,800
crazy but one of the things I 
realized was identity and access

748
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,800
management is a special 
industry. 

749
00:43:52,100 --> 00:43:55,900
We're not Getting in the room 
and talking about technology but

750
00:43:55,900 --> 00:44:00,200
there's also kind of a 
philosophy that plays into this 

751
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,800
like what is your identity? 
And I, you know, where I see 

752
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,800
that really manifesting today is
on this whole idea of like 

753
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:12,000
digital wallets and 
decentralized identity in the 

754
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,800
ability for a person to actually
own their identity. 

755
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,100
You know, there are several 
areas that are that are real 

756
00:44:19,100 --> 00:44:21,100
interesting like that. 
You always see these. 

757
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:25,500
These new things cropping Yup. 
But to me, like, that could 

758
00:44:25,900 --> 00:44:30,500
literally transform how this 
industry looks further on down 

759
00:44:30,500 --> 00:44:31,600
the road. 
What do you think? 

760
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,600
Yeah, absolutely. 
Absolutely yeah, we started 

761
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:43,200
talking about, we called it 
limited liability, personas back

762
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,000
at Burton group and I forget 
which Catalyst conference it 

763
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:51,200
was, but it was around that time
frame 06-07 that Bob Blakely 

764
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,000
gave a talk on this And I'm, you
know, another subject was that 

765
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,900
the identity Oracle, if you will
you know the limited release of 

766
00:45:00,100 --> 00:45:04,100
attribute information about a 
person given the context of a 

767
00:45:04,100 --> 00:45:06,700
transaction or for an 
interaction online. 

768
00:45:07,100 --> 00:45:09,300
So yeah. 
We've been talking about these 

769
00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:13,400
sorts of things for a long time.
I think the biggest impediment 

770
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:18,700
really has been the business 
model of those properties that 

771
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:21,600
you're trying to interact with. 
You know, are they really going 

772
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:22,800
to give up? 
Up. 

773
00:45:23,100 --> 00:45:27,700
You know the ownership of all 
this data about you is you I 

774
00:45:27,707 --> 00:45:31,600
think has always remains. 
The biggest challenge is not the

775
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,000
technology per se. 
You know there's I think you 

776
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,300
know the some of the Sovereign 
identity folks are taking a 

777
00:45:37,308 --> 00:45:41,100
different techno technological 
approach to it with limited 

778
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:44,200
liability personas. 
We're thinking of it more in a 

779
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:49,400
legal context knew that you 
would actually incorporate some 

780
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,300
kind of pseudo identity of 
yourself. 

781
00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:57,800
So that Could have some of the 
same protections that a regular 

782
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,900
Corporation has. 
So we were taking more of that 

783
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,700
angle rather than a 
technological one. 

784
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,400
But again, bottom line is I 
think the you the economic 

785
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,600
business model is still a 
symmetrical when it comes to an 

786
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,000
individual consumer. 
Say, trying to limit how much 

787
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,300
information Amazon collects 
about them. 

788
00:46:20,700 --> 00:46:26,400
Yeah, absolutely and You know, 
Jeff likes to use the the quote,

789
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:32,500
if the product is free, you're 
the product and I was going to a

790
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:33,900
podcast. 
I wanted to get this out. 

791
00:46:33,900 --> 00:46:37,800
There is tools and weapons with 
Brad Smith. 

792
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,500
I mean, I think he's got a 
really good podcast as a recent 

793
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:44,700
episode you did with Kara 
Swisher, who was like a 

794
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:52,300
journalist in kind of multiple 
eras of Silicon Valley, right? 

795
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:56,100
And she Talking a lot about 
that, you know, all with 

796
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:59,900
Facebook was coming along and 
other platforms trying to figure

797
00:46:59,900 --> 00:47:03,300
out what the business model is 
and how can a business model 

798
00:47:03,300 --> 00:47:07,500
succeed on Advertising alone? 
Well, it's essentially selling 

799
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:10,800
people's private information or 
using that private information 

800
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:16,300
to Target advertising toward 
that person, right? 

801
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:19,300
And we obviously we're seeing 
many examples of that business 

802
00:47:19,300 --> 00:47:22,500
model in effect these days. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

803
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,300
Lee.

804

806
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:36,000
are going with the standards and
the adoption and the growth of 

807
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,600
them. 
Anything that you want to leave 

808
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,000
the losers with before we close 
out. 

809
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:45,700

I like me, some Vegas, but this 

825
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,900
year I had to go twice within 
the same month that I was like, 

826
00:48:34,100 --> 00:48:36,800
that's way too much. 
Yeah I've got it pretty limited 

827
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,200
thresholds for my tolerance of 
Vegas these days but it's really
