00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:13,000
You're listening to the identity
of the center podcast, this is 

2
00:00:13,000 --> 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 --> 00:00:27,400
started. 
Welcome to the identity of the 

5
00:00:27,407 --> 00:00:29,300
sender podcast, I'm Jeff. 
And that's Jim. 

6
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:33,200
Hey, Jim hey, Jeff, how are you?
Oh, not so bad yourself. 

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,300
I'm good. 
I'm conserving. 

8
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:39,200
My guess the little that I have 
left and driving my guest house 

9
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,700
or car when I'm not conserving 
gas. 

10
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:47,300
But, you know, I'm living in the
southeastern United States where

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,400
our gas supply has been affected
by two things. 

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,200
One is a cybersecurity attack 
that Happened on the pipeline, 

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,700
that fuels a lot of the 
southeast. 

14
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,500
And the second is by Panic, 
buying, everybody rushing out 

15
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:06,200
the fill up their tank, all in 
the same day and it's the same 

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,100
thing that happened, you know, 
right after covid, where 

17
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:11,900
everybody had to rush out and 
buy toilet, paper of all things.

18
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,600
Yeah, I think I saw a picture of
you filling gas tanks and 

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,500
putting them into the trunk of a
car or something like that. 

20
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,000
Maybe make a few extra bucks on 
the side here. 

21
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,800
The Good Ol American Way. 
Yay, capitalism that sort of 

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,700
thing. 
Yeah, we all knew. 

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Bunker, right? 
So it's interesting you bring up

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,500
the pipeline thing. 
So the latest that we have as of

25
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,500
Wednesday, May 12th on recording
this and this will go out into 

26
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,000
the internet and all of our 
listeners on the following 

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,500
Monday. 17th is that it's is 
that the pipeline hack may have 

28
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:48,400
come from The Exchange 
vulnerabilities that were widely

29
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,900
touted a couple months ago. 
I think it was back in March or 

30
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:54,300
whatever means and yet again you
know patching didn't get in 

31
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:56,700
place. 
And wasn't remediated and your, 

32
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,100
we are having another ransomware
story and now we're seeing 

33
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,400
prices gas, go up because of 
that. 

34
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,500
But also because of, you know, 
the economy, I think starting to

35
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:04,900
open up a little bit here in the
US. 

36
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:08,500
So, I guess keep those systems 
patched. 

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,900
Well, I think, you know, a lot 
of the, a lot of these 

38
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:15,100
ransomware attacks are, you 
know, eventually boiled down to 

39
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:19,000
basic blocking and tackling we 
talked to dr. 

40
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,100
Jason Cunningham on the show, a 
few months back and you know he 

41
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,700
mentioned that these types of 
attacks. 

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,500
Or moving Downstream, not that 
utilities. 

43
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:31,400
And and kind of core 
infrastructure is that far 

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,000
Downstream but they're going 
from government agencies and 

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,700
Banks down to, you know, kind of
companies that haven't seen 

46
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:41,200
themselves as Prime Targets in 
the past. 

47
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,300
But I think what you and I have 
seen with a lot of organizations

48
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:49,200
we work with is that they're 
understaffed. 

49
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:52,500
And you've got a lot of, you 
know, not enough people running 

50
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,100
around trying to keep up and 
They're doing yeoman's work and 

51
00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:01,300
there I am here as but if they 
don't have the tools like MFA 

52
00:03:01,300 --> 00:03:07,200
everywhere, there's only so much
that they can do and so run into

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,700
these kind of situations where 
nobody wants to end up on the 

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,100
front page of the newspaper, but
I certainly what's happening. 

55
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,800
Yeah. 
I mean, job security, I guess, 

56
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,600
right? 
Human error gets involved and 

57
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,800
people start to, you know, fall 
behind. 

58
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,200
I think, you know, one thing 
that we see a lot, right is 

59
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,800
underfunded. 
Man, they're understaffed teams 

60
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:31,200
really doing heroic effort to 
keep organizations as best of 

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,400
the camp, but the can't do it. 
All right? 

62
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,900
And they can't do it forever. 
So something is certainly 

63
00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:37,300
consider. 
Yeah, well, hey we, you know, 

64
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:40,400
we've been talking a lot about 
that. 

65
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,400
By the end of this year, we're 
hoping to be able to do some 

66
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,600
business travel again. 
It's there's nothing like a year

67
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,900
of no business travel to make 
you miss business travel, but I 

68
00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:56,400
think you'd agree that probably 
the Favorite business travel is 

69
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,900
conferences because we get to 
see and interact with people in 

70
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:03,700
our industry. 
Hopefully, when this starts up 

71
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:06,300
again, we'll get to meet a lot 
of the folks who listen to the 

72
00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:10,100
podcast, but I had an 
interesting story and that our 

73
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:14,400
guest today is somebody that I 
met at a conference that 

74
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:17,899
actually had a couple of 
forgerock conferences that I can

75
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:19,800
recall. 
One of the cool things about 

76
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:25,000
forgerock was especially in the 
early days was you know, the Of 

77
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,100
some of their conferences. 
And a lot of times, the two that

78
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,700
I'm thinking of we're in 
California, which is such a 

79
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:37,000
beautiful state but the Asilomar
Conference Center it was like 

80
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:42,200
Pine Forest right on the woods 
and our I'm sorry right on the 

81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,000
beach and it was such a cool 
place to be and the other was at

82
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,200
the Ritz-Carlton a Half Moon Bay
and the Bay Area and wow I mean 

83
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,300
couldn't pick a better place to 
To go for a work trip. 

84
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:57,900
Yeah. 
I always enjoy going west for 

85
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:00,200
that for conferences. 
I'm a California guy. 

86
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,000
So I like it. 
So speaking of our guests, why 

87
00:05:03,008 --> 00:05:05,900
don't we go ahead and introduce 
Nathan coughing? 

88
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:08,600
He is the head of strategy at 
Cloud entity. 

89
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:11,200
Welcome, Nathan to the show. 
Thanks for joining us. 

90
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:13,900
Thanks for having me really, 
really glad to be here and 

91
00:05:13,900 --> 00:05:15,600
thanks for going to the Wayback 
machine. 

92
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,300
There's, those are wonderful 
conferences, both from a 

93
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,400
technical point of view as well 
as you know, the atmosphere 

94
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,400
absolutely phenomenal for idea 
sharing and kind of growing in 

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,300
the The I am space. 
Yeah it's a lot of fun to kind 

96
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:30,600
of interact with folks. 
I do miss the conference thing. 

97
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,300
You know, I never thought I 
would say this is I miss being 

98
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:37,900
in the line to get on to a 
United flight scrambling with 

99
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:41,100
the, you know, 200 other people 
trying to fight for overhead 

100
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,400
space or under, you know under 
seat space, you know whatever, 

101
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,000
maybe so maybe it's some point 
here in a future that will 

102
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,600
resume, I know we're going to 
talk a little bit today about 

103
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,500
open Banking and how that has 
started to I guess we'll open 

104
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,100
up. 
Up right, for organizations, 

105
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:59,300
start, taking advantage of. 
But before we get to that, I 

106
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:01,900
think would be helpful for the 
folks who are listening to a 

107
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:05,600
kind of understands you know, 
your journey, you've known Jim 

108
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,600
for a long time and in Prior 
roles and sort of, you know, the

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,100
the maturation of your own 
career. 

110
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,400
But how did you get into the? 
I am space. 

111
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:18,400
Is it something that you chose 
or did you choose it or well, we

112
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,000
gotta go in the way, way back 
machine back to the Netscape, I 

113
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,500
Planet days where I was actually
At Boeing working just in cyber 

114
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:31,300
side building you know some of 
the initial firewalls and then 

115
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:34,000
son chose me somehow. 
I'm not sure how they got my 

116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
number. 
But apparently there was there 

117
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,600
was Data sharing back then that 
required some type of consent, 

118
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,300
right? 
And I got recruited into the eye

119
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:45,300
planet Sun Alliance or the AOL 
Sun Alliance. 

120
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,500
And then from there just kind of
continued both in the identity 

121
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:52,600
space as well as the cyberspace.
So it's been about 15 years 

122
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,500
doing just identity and then hop
back. 

123
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:56,900
Over to the Cyber side. 
Because maybe one of the are 

124
00:06:56,900 --> 00:06:58,900
joining, as one of the first 
couple dozen employees, at 

125
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:04,900
imperva back in 17, 2008, 2009, 
and then release all kind of 

126
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:07,600
this inculcation. 
This need to bring cyber 

127
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:10,000
together with identity. 
I think that's one of the core 

128
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,600
tenets of the podcast, right? 
It's identities at the center. 

129
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:15,600
Whether that's the center of 
your application security or the

130
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,800
center of your user security 
unit becomes a fundamental part 

131
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,000
to building out your next 
generation of applications. 

132
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,900
Sorry to give you to give you a 
plug guys, but it's too easy, 

133
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:26,200
right? 
Definitely love that. 

134
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,700
I always love hearing somebody 
about somebody's journey in this

135
00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:34,200
industry because usually they 
started off somewhere. 

136
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,700
Like I don't want to say the 
bottom, right, but they started 

137
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:41,300
out somewhere in kind of the 
guts of the machine that you 

138
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:45,400
started off with the Netscape 
directory, which of course, this

139
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,000
kind of like core functionality,
but as you know, more or less 

140
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,300
than the back office and now you
said your Chief strategy officer

141
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,800
at Cloud identity. 
I'm sorry Cloud density and I'm 

142
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,000
wondering if you could tell us a
little bit about that role. 

143
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:05,100
Yeah, so I think I alluded to it
right in that previous 

144
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,900
monologue. 
But you know what we've done is 

145
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:12,800
we've looked to bring Dynamic 
authorization and when I mean 

146
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,700
when I say that is bring in a 
lot more context right now, can 

147
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:19,600
be cyber context, it could be 
consent context and push it all 

148
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,000
the way out to the edge of the 
service. 

149
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:23,800
And so we started like thinking,
how can we start building 

150
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,900
product around this? 
Looking at microservices, you 

151
00:08:26,900 --> 00:08:32,100
know, API light infrastructure 
back in 2015, 2016 and then sort

152
00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:33,900
of rolling, you know, 
Intelligence on top of it and 

153
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:37,100
machine learning is much better 
descriptor than AI, but I know 

154
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,600
AI is nowhere more in Vogue to 
use those words these days. 

155
00:08:41,299 --> 00:08:43,100
So, what we started, building 
all these pulling these 

156
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:44,400
different pieces together, 
right? 

157
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,300
Making sure that we could have 
adequate data sets, adequate 

158
00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:51,600
rules and adequate policy 
decision points at the edge of 

159
00:08:51,608 --> 00:08:54,600
the service and you know as 
we've built that you know 

160
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,200
started Getting Believers both 
in the marketplace, right? 

161
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,300
Meaning some early adopters of 
our technology, as well as 

162
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:02,900
Believers in the, in the VC 
Marketplace and can Under 12 

163
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:05,300
first round of funding last 
year, as part of that. 

164
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:08,200
You know, I kind of shifted out 
of the the sheer Tech point of 

165
00:09:08,208 --> 00:09:11,200
view and really moved into, you 
know, how can we lead the team, 

166
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,900
how can we start building a 
bigger broader team and we've 

167
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,200
been able to bring in some 
incredible Talent, both from 

168
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,500
people running in the Olaf 
circles as well as other I am 

169
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,400
platforms. 
So Nathaniel I was kind of 

170
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:29,300
wondering You go to a prospect, 
is this something they've sought

171
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:30,900
you out? 
Because they understand your 

172
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:35,400
technology are usually going 
through education process. 

173
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,300
So I'd say that's actually 
really transitioning over the 

174
00:09:38,300 --> 00:09:43,200
last three to six months, right?
So part of its due to covid, you

175
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,100
know, part of its due to the 
adoption of distributed 

176
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:47,800
services, but what we're seeing 
is that, you know, as people 

177
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,000
move into the next generation of
services and whether that's a 

178
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,900
kubernetes, or a service mesh or
functions, they have no idea how

179
00:09:53,900 --> 00:09:56,400
to bring identity. 
He constructs into that much 

180
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,400
less cyber constructs, and one 
of the big goals as your 

181
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,600
building, you know, this next 
Generation services to make them

182
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,100
immutable, right? 
So how can I externalize 

183
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,500
identity, authorization and 
privacy? 

184
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:09,200
Make that incredibly easy for my
developers. 

185
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,700
So anytime I bring in a new 
service it's protected by a 

186
00:10:12,708 --> 00:10:15,200
default set of rules. 
So if we think about like 

187
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,600
identity for the last 2,000 
years, right? 

188
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,000
What's been the hard part? 
It's always been onboarding 

189
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,600
applications bar not and now 
you're starting to have the 

190
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,800
capabilities to Get on board, 
right? 

191
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,500
Make it very very seamless, like
an onboard 10,000 services in a 

192
00:10:28,508 --> 00:10:32,000
matter of minutes, so long as 
their next Generation services 

193
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,100
that our API driven. 
So you're able to really start 

194
00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:38,100
driving Innovation forward and 
instead of becoming this kind of

195
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:40,400
tax it happens. 
After the fact, you're able to 

196
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,400
lead the digital transformation 
by saying, I'm going to make 

197
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800
these parts easy for you and we 
can we talk about that from a 

198
00:10:44,808 --> 00:10:47,700
customer perspective. 
Now, the reason that we have 

199
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,100
open banking like at the center 
of the discussion is, because 

200
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:53,500
that's really one of the first 
mandated and Regulatory 

201
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:56,800
regulated areas where a Apis 
have to be, you know, the center

202
00:10:57,300 --> 00:11:01,900
meaning, the first, you know, 
real API Centric transaction 

203
00:11:01,900 --> 00:11:04,400
requirements coming from, you 
know, Federal bodies or 

204
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:07,100
government regulatory bodies 
depending upon the the 

205
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,400
nationality. 
So we talk about open banking 

206
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,900
here a little bit. 
I guess, why don't we start with

207
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,900
what is open banking? 
Because I think people may be 

208
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,000
using it and they don't maybe 
even know it, right? 

209
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,100
If I think of services may be 
something like plaid or you're 

210
00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:24,700
connecting different Financial 
Services together or I think you

211
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,400
do. 
Into personal Capital, you know,

212
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400
there's a bunch of these out 
there that lets you interface 

213
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,700
and pool financial data, right 
into third-party apps that 

214
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:38,000
aren't necessarily owned by the 
financial institution themself. 

215
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:40,100
Is that a good explanation of 
it? 

216
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,600
Or is there is there more to it?
You're hitting on the core 

217
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,400
tenets, right? 
And it's really about the 

218
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,900
democratization of banking, 
right? 

219
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:48,700
So I can build, I won't be a 
build a bank. 

220
00:11:48,700 --> 00:11:51,800
I'll be able to build a service 
that can consume Bank data and 

221
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,500
then the second aspect of it is 
the utilization of Of privacy 

222
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,500
and consent, right? 
So I've seen gdpr CCPA, things 

223
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:02,500
of that nature, kind of bubble 
down on a larger industry basis.

224
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:04,900
But then open bank has been 
very, very explicit in the 

225
00:12:04,900 --> 00:12:06,500
flows. 
Here's where I need to consent 

226
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:07,900
to what? 
Here's how fine grain that 

227
00:12:07,900 --> 00:12:11,100
consent to be that consent 
should be and we're also seeing 

228
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:14,300
that start to now percolate into
some of the different standards 

229
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:14,900
bodies. 
Right. 

230
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:20,500
So, you know, we've seen just in
the last six to seven months, is

231
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,000
a Grant Management standard pop 
into the oauth into the or 

232
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,200
standards bodies. 
And that's becoming increasingly

233
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,800
important because everybody, you
know, every user now once to 

234
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,000
understand where their data goes
are tired of seeing, you know, 

235
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,800
the Facebook, Cambridge 
analytical, if you know examples

236
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,600
or the experience data breach 
that just happened, you know, 

237
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,500
last week or the week before 
last. 

238
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:41,900
I'm sorry. 
You know where highly insecure 

239
00:12:41,900 --> 00:12:45,100
API. 
No authentication right? 

240
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:46,900
For user, or for another 
service? 

241
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,400
No authorization. 
And the only constructs 

242
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,200
protecting it was public data. 
Meaning my birthday. 

243
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,300
I'm sorry. 
Not even my birthday. 

244
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:56,900
I first name last name. 
My address, and then a 

245
00:12:57,900 --> 00:13:00,800
unvalidated birthday, right? 
So you can program. 

246
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,500
And when using it in the API 
perspective, right? 

247
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:05,100
You can programmatically go and 
just download all of it, right? 

248
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,700
You can literally iterate all 
the way through it. 

249
00:13:06,700 --> 00:13:09,200
Taking public records to either 
pull from the dark web or maybe 

250
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000
you have, you know, from Peridot
or something like that, right? 

251
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,700
And just boom, boom, boom boom, 
right and now I've got 

252
00:13:14,700 --> 00:13:17,700
everybody's credit score number 
and that's that's sensitive data

253
00:13:17,700 --> 00:13:19,100
to me. 
I'm sure it is to everybody else

254
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:21,300
listening as well. 
So I think one of the challenges

255
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,700
that I've seen having been a 
consumer of some of these 

256
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:29,200
services, Is the inconsistency 
with how they may be implemented

257
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,400
and I think of things where, you
know, you have to go into this 

258
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,100
interface, you type in your ID 
and password for the Target 

259
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:41,900
financial institution. 
And if they have MFA in place or

260
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,200
some other type of, you know, 
second factor that you need to 

261
00:13:44,208 --> 00:13:47,200
provide, it's a very sticky 
situation. 

262
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,900
Sometimes where you're waiting, 
it's almost like they're doing 

263
00:13:49,900 --> 00:13:52,700
screen scraping behind the 
scenes sometimes and it's 

264
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,800
frustrating for me as a 
consumer. 

265
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:56,800
Zoomer right? 
Trying to get the kind of keep 

266
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,500
my accounts linked. 
How does you know, from an enemy

267
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:02,800
not knowing enough of how it 
works between the open banking 

268
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,400
standards and that have been 
developed and companies who 

269
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,600
maybe aren't using it? 
Is that a symptom of, you know, 

270
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,100
a poor implementation of it is 
just, you know, how it works 

271
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:13,900
right now? 
Or maybe they're not even using 

272
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:16,100
open Banking and that's why my 
experience is so poor. 

273
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,900
So if they are screen, scraping,
they're not using open banking, 

274
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:21,500
you know, screen scraping is a 
security vulnerability right 

275
00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:24,200
there, doing an impersonation 
against both, probably your 

276
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,300
Banks. 
Standards of conduct as well as 

277
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:28,900
even even their Partners 
standards of content that you're

278
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:31,200
that you're logging into and 
that's been kind of the de 

279
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,100
facto, right? 
For the last half dozen years, 

280
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:36,200
right? 
If we seen Financial aggregators

281
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,600
really come to fruition. 
Now, that's changing because, 

282
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,600
you know, of open banking right?
Literally everybody, realizes 

283
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,100
that's a big problem. 
So how do we start to normalize 

284
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:49,000
that how we build common 
patterns around consent and 

285
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,700
around data? 
All right, flows. 

286
00:14:51,500 --> 00:14:54,200
So so if you're seeing screen, 
scraping, you're seeing that 

287
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,200
delay. 
You'd probably not in open 

288
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,200
banking, in open, banking 
ecosystem, and you don't have 

289
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,100
the security that's wrapped 
around open banking. 

290
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Now, I'm actually gonna go back 
to your earlier Point Jeff, and 

291
00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:06,200
it's a lot worse than we 
actually think particularly over

292
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,900
here in North America. 
And what I mean by that is, you 

293
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,300
know, we've got all of this 
identity and authorization 

294
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:13,500
sprawl. 
So depending on, when you're 

295
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,200
doing your, your application was
build, right? 

296
00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:19,400
It was a 2008 mobile app or 
maybe it's a 2020 mobile app. 

297
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,200
Probably have a different ID P. 
You have hard-coded 

298
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,200
authorization. 
You have hard-coded, privacy, 

299
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,100
built into And even those 
different Services different 

300
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,400
applications from a singular 
Bank, don't talk to each other. 

301
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,200
Well now the banks are actually 
trying to fix that and kind of 

302
00:15:32,208 --> 00:15:34,700
give a little bit better user 
experience, but I can jump, you 

303
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:36,500
know, within some of the credit 
bureaus. 

304
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,400
I can jump from service to 
service to service and I'll have

305
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,200
to re-authenticate. 
I'll have to reauthorize, will 

306
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,100
have to re Grant consent, 
because none of it's stored 

307
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:47,900
outside of the applications, all
hard-coded in there, and nobody 

308
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:49,800
has any good way of reporting. 
Now, that's obviously a 

309
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,500
tremendous liability for the 
bank's, the credit bureaus, Etc,

310
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:56,000
or for any of the financials. 
Because they're storing 

311
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
different data. 
And any time a regulatory body 

312
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,900
comes and says they show me, you
know, prove to me that Nathan 

313
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:02,900
allowed you to use his account 
data proved to me that Nathan, 

314
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:05,900
like mother's last name and they
have to go and say, okay, well, 

315
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:08,500
I don't know why policies look 
like right, I've got to find the

316
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,200
developer that wrote that 
application that developer has 

317
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,700
to go back to the code more than
like that developers in another 

318
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:15,000
company by now. 
Right? 

319
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:19,400
They have to go back into the 
code try and pull extract it and

320
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,200
then showcase exactly what. 
Transpired, right? 

321
00:16:22,300 --> 00:16:24,700
You and I both know, that's 
almost an impossibility, right? 

322
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:27,900
The reality is is going across 
all those different systems and 

323
00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:31,600
platforms, trying to showcase 
exactly what happened within a 

324
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,000
transaction is a lot harder than
it even is to explain, right? 

325
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,400
But so being able to externalize
that normalize it, right? 

326
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,800
And then use a common 
authorization, privacy identity 

327
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,200
standard across all of them. 
Well, that's exactly what oauth 

328
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,600
was designed to be. 
And what I mean by that is we so

329
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,300
often do ATC kind of pop out in 
2012, right? 

330
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,400
2011 2012 depending Upon which 
one we're going to count by. 

331
00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:01,000
And the design, there was, let's
separate context, right? 

332
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,099
And separate the authorization 
construct away from the 

333
00:17:04,099 --> 00:17:06,300
identity, the session building, 
right? 

334
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:09,599
But we saw the industry do is we
took you know kind of these big 

335
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:11,400
model list that we've been using
for Wham. 

336
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,700
You know. 
For the for the 2000's own. 

337
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,099
Let's layer on top of 
federation. 

338
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:17,700
You look we're using sample. 
Its layer on top of oauth. 

339
00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,200
Rider looks layer on top. 
All you think we took a model? 

340
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,900
If we threw another model with 
that. 

341
00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:24,700
It right? 
We built kind of these giant. 

342
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:28,600
Rocks that are difficult to use 
difficult to upgrade and aren't 

343
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,900
meeting the needs of modern 
application developers. 

344
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,900
You know, until we did is we 
said, well, what happens if we 

345
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:34,900
go back to the original intent, 
right? 

346
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,300
What happens if we think about 
authentication as a session 

347
00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:39,400
generation and then there's all 
kinds of great contacts, it 

348
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,600
comes from your authentication 
provider and then authorization 

349
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,700
and application identity. 
That's a whole separate 

350
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:46,400
construct. 
And then when I want to move 

351
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,300
into finer grained, 
authorization or I want to move 

352
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:50,800
into fibrin consent management. 
I want to layer on top. 

353
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,300
You open banking based, 
regulatory demands, Now, I can 

354
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:57,700
do that very, very simply write.
It can spin up open Banking, 

355
00:17:57,700 --> 00:18:00,200
apis, and minutes, instead of 
saying, we've got to build this 

356
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,700
giant sandbox. 
I've got upgrade my loyal 

357
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,700
servant of fappy 1.0 compliance.
I got to do all these different 

358
00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:09,300
things which could be man months
or even man years you know, I'm 

359
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:15,700
curious because I highlighted my
poor experience with not having 

360
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:21,000
open banking in my life, right? 
So in your mind and you know, 

361
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,300
I'm curious, what does good look
like from an open banking? 

362
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:29,000
Patient can, is there a gold 
standard or an example that you 

363
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
can kind of provide to say if 
you're doing it, right? 

364
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,900
Here's here's what it should 
look like. 

365
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:37,600
What's the process as a? 
Just a normal customer, trying 

366
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,700
to collect my finances. 
So I'm going to do one better 

367
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:43,800
than that, and I'm going to talk
about the gold Center that we've

368
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,700
seen already in the UK. 
And so there's a company called 

369
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:48,200
Sterling Bank. 
Obviously, we're not sure the 

370
00:18:48,208 --> 00:18:51,100
motor from the North America so 
much, but what the, you know, 

371
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:54,700
Millennials and gen Z of set is 
I want all of my financial 

372
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,500
Offices. 
And this is not just Banking and

373
00:18:56,500 --> 00:18:59,500
moving money around but also 
home insurance car, insurance 

374
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:01,700
life insurance, right? 
All these different financial 

375
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:05,800
services available in a singular
portal and by using open banking

376
00:19:06,100 --> 00:19:09,100
now, Sterling Bank has created 
Created that portal for Gen Z 

377
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:10,200
and they seen tremendous 
account. 

378
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,900
Adoption, because of it, what 
they've seen is a tremendous 

379
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,700
Boon right to there to account 
adoption, by Third parties and 

380
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:20,600
buy additional new customers. 
Because now, they have kind of 

381
00:19:20,608 --> 00:19:23,400
this comprehensive ecosystem. 
They never have to leave that 

382
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,300
Sterling Bank portal. 
Able to see. 

383
00:19:25,300 --> 00:19:27,500
Okay, I'm going to sign up for 
these different Insurance 

384
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:30,200
different retirement funds. 
You know, different investment 

385
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800
means as well as do their 
regular banking all from a 

386
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,600
singular interface and it's 
completely changed the way that 

387
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,700
people interact with them. 
And that's what, you know, the 

388
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:40,400
account aggregators, you know, 
that the Minsk cetera have to 

389
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,100
have strokes driven do to do in 
North America. 

390
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,400
But without having kind of this 
common symbiotic, methodology of

391
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,600
exchanging data of protecting, 
privacy of all of these 

392
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,700
different fundamental features 
of open banking, they're just 

393
00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:55,500
not able to get there in a 
Secure manner. 

394
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,500
It sounds to me, like the 
Millennials and gen Z are 

395
00:20:01,100 --> 00:20:05,100
driving. 
The demand for open banking. 

396
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:09,600
Would you say that's accurate 
and you know, I'm kind of 

397
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,800
wondering about the value 
proposition for the banks is 

398
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,500
this something that they want to
be able to to enable these 

399
00:20:16,500 --> 00:20:19,100
Financial aggregators in a 
secure way? 

400
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,500
Or is it you know a compliance 
driver. 

401
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,800
So it started as a Appliance 
driver. 

402
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,500
Well, that was a two-part 
question. 

403
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,000
Let me start from the beginning,
right? 

404
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,100
So first of all, you know, gen Z
and Millennials are the first 

405
00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:33,900
digital natives, right? 
Jen's even more. 

406
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,300
So than Millennials, meaning, 
they grew up. 

407
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:39,600
Always on internet's everywhere 
Services should be everywhere. 

408
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600
So they're looking for 
distributed services and the 

409
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,000
best user experience possible, 
that means pushing the service 

410
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,900
all the way down to the edge of 
the millennial or the edge of 

411
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:50,300
the Gen Z. 
Alright, so my phone's got to be

412
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:52,300
able to do everything in that 
circumstance. 

413
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:55,500
So if we look at, you know, 
Banks, As you know, we've seen 

414
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,000
Banks Banks are responsible for 
where we are today. 

415
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,900
And what I mean by that is not 
just technological innovation, 

416
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:03,300
but Innovation across you know 
infrastructure. 

417
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:05,600
Accelerate banks have really 
stepped up to the plate in the 

418
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,100
last, you know, five thousand 
years, I think, is a fair way to

419
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:11,800
say it right, due to the 
exchange of money and helping us

420
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,500
build the world as we know it 
today. 

421
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,600
And so when they first started 
adopting open banking you're 

422
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,200
right. 
It was absolutely, you know, 

423
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,100
across the bear. 
It was literally, you know, it's

424
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:24,000
another regulatory burden that 
we have to kind of pass through 

425
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:27,100
but we've Started to see that 
transition where it's no longer 

426
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:29,500
seen as that because not only 
are they getting better 

427
00:21:29,500 --> 00:21:32,000
engagement from the customer 
communities, but now they're 

428
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
actually getting much better 
visibility into how their 

429
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,500
services are being used. 
You know, what apis are being 

430
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:38,800
called, who are their biggest 
users? 

431
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,200
How are they transferring money?
You know what other Partnerships

432
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,400
and what other services should 
they package and integrate that 

433
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,800
are allowing them to better 
monetize their customers. 

434
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,900
So all of that data that very 
rich rich data that now they are

435
00:21:50,900 --> 00:21:53,300
allowed to have because they 
have the appropriate consent is 

436
00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:56,300
also the date of the It's 
feeding back into a, circular 

437
00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:59,400
Loop of better Services which 
are able to again to offer out 

438
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,700
and to monetize and to build 
better customer adherence. 

439
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,500
Have you seen any differences in
how, you know, the pandemic has 

440
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,800
affected uptake of some of these
Services, you know, around 

441
00:22:10,700 --> 00:22:13,600
getting open Bangkok open 
banking off the ground and 

442
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000
becoming more digital first, you
know, less touch. 

443
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,600
And, you know, I look around in 
my hometown, where I marry it, 

444
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,900
where I'm at and I see Bank 
branches shutting down right 

445
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,000
there just they Had the physical
presence anymore, I can't 

446
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,500
remember. 
The last time I went into a 

447
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:32,700
bank, I've been digital banking 
for at least, if seal, it feels 

448
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:36,200
like 10 years. 
And, you know, that's probably 

449
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,400
the trend for the future, and I 
see a lot of those spaces being 

450
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,500
repurposed for other things. 
You know, one's been turned into

451
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:44,400
electric car charging a spot 
because they have the parking 

452
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,700
and, you know, no one else is 
using it but I'm curious if from

453
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:51,100
your perspective having worked 
on this much more closely is if 

454
00:22:51,100 --> 00:22:56,000
the pandemic has driven this any
more than it probably would have

455
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,600
gone already just to the Natural
flow and evolution of services 

456
00:23:00,300 --> 00:23:02,100
or if. 
Yeah, there was something here 

457
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:05,600
where you know, covid here and 
we've got a kind of speed this 

458
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,800
up and maybe faster than we were
planning on doing it. 

459
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:10,700
Your bang on, right? 
I feel like that was a softball,

460
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:13,100
be honest. 
Because, you know, what is 

461
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,800
covid, done, you know, to push 
work from home. 

462
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,300
It's pushed distributed Services
out everywhere and whether 

463
00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:21,500
that's, you know, upgrading your
VPN and do a CT and a for the 

464
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:24,400
podcast last week or whether 
that's offering your services. 

465
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,400
Very distributed fashion. 
And a very integrated fashion 

466
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,600
out to your consumers are to 
your partner's to resell, right?

467
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,500
Both of those are driving at 
lightning speed. 

468
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,500
You know it's you're right. 
We don't go into any branches 

469
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:37,400
anymore. 
I mean even Starbucks, you know 

470
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,400
I have to order online right? 
Then I can go pick it up from a 

471
00:23:40,408 --> 00:23:46,000
branch but you know there the 
reduction in touch interaction I

472
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,700
think is a fair way of saying it
you know do the covid has really

473
00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:51,800
pushed net, new digital services
and net new ways to engage with 

474
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,900
your customer base out into the 
marketplace. 

475
00:23:55,100 --> 00:23:59,100
I'm thinking about these open 
Banking apis, and I'm wondering,

476
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:05,800
are banks deploying the apis to 
bolt onto their applications 

477
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,800
and, and their systems, or they 
deploying the apis, and then 

478
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,900
building their services on top 
of it. 

479
00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:17,300
And I guess I'm I'm getting at 
that from the standpoint of the 

480
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:20,300
security being layered at the 
API level, right? 

481
00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:24,000
It seems to me that if you're 
building apps on top of it, you 

482
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,900
still want to Put that security 
at the API level. 

483
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:31,900
So, Broad question I guess is 
are the banks themselves using 

484
00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:33,900
those apis? 
They're deploying. 

485
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,400
And then why is securing at the 
API level necessary? 

486
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:41,800
Okay, lots of questions are so 
let's just parse them out, one 

487
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,100
by one by one. 
Right? 

488
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,200
So when we look at open banking,
you know, I break it into kind 

489
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,400
of three major fundamental 
steps. 

490
00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:51,100
So the first is building, an API
driven infrastructure. 

491
00:24:51,100 --> 00:24:53,400
This is where you'll create a 
net new API, you know, through 

492
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,600
apogee or acts way or one of the
API Gateway vendors to your 

493
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,800
back-end Services, right? 
And that's Step 1 and that is 

494
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,400
just to participate in an API 
driven ecosystem, which 

495
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,800
obviously open banking as one of
them, step two is bringing in 

496
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
that security layer, right? 
So open banking has designated 

497
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,800
fappy, which is financial API. 
It's a standard put out by the 

498
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,000
idea of the open ID Foundation 
that, you know, mandates. 

499
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,900
A number of things, big things 
like pairwise identifiers, 

500
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:23,900
right? 
So shared Secrets, essentially 

501
00:25:23,900 --> 00:25:27,000
the easy way to think about that
Mutual TLS between client and 

502
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,200
server. 
Secure software assertions, 

503
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,600
right? 
So, you have a signed 

504
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,200
certificate that says, I can be 
a client of this service or kind

505
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,900
of the fundamental pieces, 
right? 

506
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,600
So, they have mandated a gold 
standard for API security is 

507
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,200
easiest way to think about that.
And I think that should be 

508
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,600
carrying across all Industries 
because we wouldn't have the 

509
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600
experience problem, right? 
To just to relate it back today.

510
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,700
If that was in place yesterday, 
right now, the third step is 

511
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:56,700
that consent factor? 
And I think this is where things

512
00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:58,100
start to get really, really 
interesting. 

513
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,200
Ting because consent has kind of
changed rather dramatically in 

514
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,100
the last five years, right. 
So start off with gdpr, we got 

515
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:08,700
all of these kind of blanket. 
Consensus got the pop-up ad, you

516
00:26:08,700 --> 00:26:11,100
know, are the top Banner saying?
Hey, I'm consenting to my 

517
00:26:11,100 --> 00:26:13,400
cookie, you know, take all of my
data or store your cookie here 

518
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,400
and capture my pee, and 
everything else, which we all 

519
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,700
hate. 
But it seems to be a necessary 

520
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,100
part of using the internet at 
this juncture, right? 

521
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,700
So that's been around for a 
little while and I was kind of 

522
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:25,400
the start of, how do I mitigate?
You know, some of the GDP our 

523
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,500
needs that's a very blanket 
base. 

524
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,900
Can set the It is the oauth 
based consents. 

525
00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:31,800
Right, that I think most of us 
are familiar with this. 

526
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,800
Is we're going to Facebook. 
Facebook says, Hey, I want to 

527
00:26:33,808 --> 00:26:35,900
see your first name last name, 
phone number. 

528
00:26:35,900 --> 00:26:37,400
And I'm gonna do whatever I want
with it. 

529
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,600
Right? 
You know, I'm going to store it 

530
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,500
and you know, it's going from 
you now. 

531
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:44,600
And that's the second one and 
it's definitely not fine grained

532
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,500
enough, right? 
Because there's no real consent.

533
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:48,800
There's just hate take my data 
and do whatever with it. 

534
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,400
Now, the third one, which open 
banking's and reduced is really 

535
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,400
consent. 
That actually happens before the

536
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,500
oauth consent that is I'm going 
to consent and you're very fine 

537
00:26:57,500 --> 00:26:59,600
grain. 
Around this account with this 

538
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,400
transaction ID. 
I'm going to consent to sending 

539
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,000
it to this third party. 
Right. 

540
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,800
And this is where those 
third-party providers and the 

541
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,100
aggregators really come to bear.
And so, what we're seeing is 

542
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:10,800
very disconnected, approaches to
consent, you kind of again, 

543
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:13,200
based upon that sprawl, we're 
talking about earlier. 

544
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,200
You might have the, the blanket 
consent. 

545
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,900
You might have some oauth 
consent, but unless you're an 

546
00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:20,400
obeah ecosystem, the open 
banking ecosystem, you're not 

547
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,300
bringing to fruition the open 
bank consent. 

548
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,400
So what we've done is we brought
all of those together, right? 

549
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,400
So you have a common model for 
consent that spans the Three 

550
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,100
different types. 
Actually, a fourth type as well,

551
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,900
but will dive down the rabbit 
hole if we go that way. 

552
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:35,800
So I have a common model for 
understanding. 

553
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,600
What I've consent to do to an 
organization as well as what 

554
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,800
I've consented to an 
organization to share about me 

555
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:42,600
and I can go and revoke manage 
it. 

556
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,400
I can give you, you know, you 
can use it one time. 

557
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,600
You can use it seven times. 
You can sit for 30 days, you can

558
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,600
use it for 24 hours, right? 
So I've got very fine-grained 

559
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,300
controls around. 
How I'm willing to share my data

560
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,200
out to an organization and how 
that organization has to treat 

561
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,100
the data going out to third 
parties. 

562
00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:01,800
Sorry, the rest of your question
was where should a pi security 

563
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,100
lie, right. 
And so the very interesting 

564
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,400
thing about apis is something 
like 80% of the internet traffic

565
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,100
is Now API driven, right? 
And you have to think about apis

566
00:28:11,100 --> 00:28:14,400
as machine-to-machine, right? 
Or service to service because 

567
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,700
that is the fundamental 
underlying flow, right? 

568
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:19,500
And whether it's me going 
through my, my iPad right 

569
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:21,700
through an app. 
On my iPad, it's making an API 

570
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:25,400
call back up to, you know, Wells
Fargo or two to my bank. 

571
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:28,100
And that is a machine to machine
communication. 

572
00:28:28,300 --> 00:28:30,300
We have to start rethinking 
identity. 

573
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:32,600
So, we've always thought about 
identity as a user identity, 

574
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,600
right? 
Super easy. 

575
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,400
I know how to authenticate 
users, right? 

576
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,500
We can do that very well, 
although we don't do that for a 

577
00:28:37,500 --> 00:28:39,600
while, but that's a, that's a 
different point of discussion. 

578
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:42,400
Now, when we start thinking 
about identity of machines, 

579
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,200
right, I've got two different 
aspects of that. 

580
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:47,700
I've got workload identity. 
And this is like the carbon, 

581
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:48,700
right? 
This is my function. 

582
00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:54,400
That's done up or my kubernetes,
no Dharma, kubernetes pod, sorry

583
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,000
that I just spun up that 
kubernetes. 

584
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,300
Each pod your registers. 
And if it's in something like a 

585
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:02,700
CEO or service much, it'll go 
and get its own. 

586
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:05,600
What's called a spiffy service 
product service. 

587
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,200
Provider identity for 
everything, which is an x.509 

588
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,900
service, essentially. 
That's giving a very short term,

589
00:29:11,900 --> 00:29:14,900
often times, it's 90 minutes to 
two hours, identity, down to the

590
00:29:14,900 --> 00:29:17,000
workload. 
Now, what we've done is, we've 

591
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,200
also broker that's we can take a
spiffy identifier and now we'll 

592
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,100
assign a service identifier 
oauth, client, ID down to the 

593
00:29:26,100 --> 00:29:28,000
that workload identity. 
Brought those two. 

594
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,100
The other. 
And now we have a much better 

595
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:33,500
way of governing, a user, 
accessing a service identity, 

596
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:35,000
which is tied to a machine 
identity. 

597
00:29:35,300 --> 00:29:38,000
So I have independent client 
identities that are now tied to 

598
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,400
different workload identities. 
So, every instance of my 

599
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,000
service, it spins up has its own
unique identity. 

600
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,300
Instead of now, instead of old 
way, which is, at an API key, 

601
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:48,000
right? 
That was shared across a hundred

602
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,800
different services or 1000 
different Services. 

603
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,700
Even now, I have individual 
x.509, certs. 

604
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:56,100
So if I have a breach, I can 
know exactly which individual 

605
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:59,500
instance, it was as opposed to 
My service, got breached, I can 

606
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:01,600
say this. 
Service instance got breached, 

607
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,900
I'm going to go and rectify and 
look at the low audit logs for 

608
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:07,200
that as well. 
The sounds pretty spiffy to me. 

609
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,200
No one thing I thought as you 
were describing that framework, 

610
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,200
which included open banking. 
You peel out kind of the open 

611
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,300
banking thing. 
I'm just kind of freestyle your.

612
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:22,600
It sounds very much like a 
framework that can be used 

613
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,000
across Industries, which I think
is what you said. 

614
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,100
But I was also having the 
thought I think, you know, to 

615
00:30:30,100 --> 00:30:34,600
put it in oil parlance, you're 
talking a lot about allowing 

616
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:40,600
certain Scopes, kind of put me 
into the mindset. 

617
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,700
I thinking of when it comes to 
that, I mean that's almost 

618
00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:49,600
functionality, Shores security. 
So, you know, especially from an

619
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,600
authorization context. 
But that's really like at the 

620
00:30:52,608 --> 00:30:55,700
core functionality of what is 
happening here. 

621
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,100
Jim, you're right. 
So You know, kind of putting it 

622
00:30:59,100 --> 00:31:01,000
into that oauth scope our lands,
right? 

623
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,300
So what we're talking about thus
far was all like oauth client. 

624
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:07,400
Credential flows, right? 
How am I going to get a service 

625
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,000
identity to a machine identity? 
Now, when I start talking about,

626
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,700
how am I going to authorize data
and whether that's privacy, 

627
00:31:12,700 --> 00:31:16,100
related data, you know, be a 
grants or even other data that 

628
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,000
might be t.i. at it, might not 
be Pi. 

629
00:31:18,100 --> 00:31:22,400
Those are the Scopes that you're
talking about and so you know 

630
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,600
what we've done and not too kind
of toot, our own horn too much 

631
00:31:26,300 --> 00:31:28,500
but is we built governance 
around the Scope. 

632
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,500
So as a developer have 
governance that covers exactly 

633
00:31:31,500 --> 00:31:34,300
what's going to transpire. 
So when I register a service, I 

634
00:31:34,300 --> 00:31:36,500
can no longer ask for, hey, I 
want that full jot. 

635
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:39,400
I want the full user record. 
I need all this data unless I 

636
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,000
actually need it, right? 
And that's very different way of

637
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,100
treating it. 
So I just used this metaphor on 

638
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:48,800
the open banking World Congress 
just last week, but you know 

639
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,000
what we're seeing is that Pi? 
I write for the last decade has 

640
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,900
been called. 
It's the new oil, right? 

641
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:56,500
You know, from whether it's 
Harvard Business review or CIO 

642
00:31:56,500 --> 00:31:59,800
monthly, but it was really We 
becoming as the new CEO to write

643
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,500
because we're not able to 
control it, we're not able to 

644
00:32:01,508 --> 00:32:04,200
constrain it, it's propagating 
wildly because we're sending 

645
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,600
these giant jobs or do these 
giant access tokens from service

646
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,500
to service the service, no idea 
where the data goes. 

647
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:12,100
Right? 
Might get dumped in a syslog, 

648
00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:15,000
might get pumped out to another 
another API that we are unaware 

649
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,500
of. 
It might go into any recording 

650
00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:21,000
platformer, might go to a rogue 
service, no clue once it's out 

651
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,500
the door. 
So by actually doing governance 

652
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:26,000
around the access token, that's 
being meant to write. 

653
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,900
What are we able to do? 
We're able to say service, a can

654
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:30,900
see We'll use a record service. 
Be can only see first name and 

655
00:32:30,900 --> 00:32:34,000
transaction ID. 
I think of all the things that 

656
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,700
can go wrong for banished from a
security perspective and it 

657
00:32:37,700 --> 00:32:40,500
comes to apis. 
And then you toss in like 

658
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,100
Facebook, wanting to be at 
having access to financials, 

659
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:44,800
right? 
You mentioned face. 

660
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,400
I'm like, there's no way I'm 
ever going to allow like 

661
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,500
Facebook, to be financially, 
connected to the rest of my 

662
00:32:51,500 --> 00:32:54,100
stuff, right? 
But that's just an editorial 

663
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:57,000
coming anyway from a security 
perspective. 

664
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,100
What is the Worst thing that 
could happen if the open banking

665
00:33:02,100 --> 00:33:04,900
apis are really just apis in 
general, aren't properly 

666
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:07,800
secured, I mean, obviously 
there's theft, right, someone 

667
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,300
could intercept and steal money,
I think of an attack. 

668
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:13,900
If you're a fan of office space 
where your may be developing an 

669
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:16,900
API that, you know, just takes 
fractions of a penny, right? 

670
00:33:16,900 --> 00:33:19,400
From a bunch of different 
accounts and you know, you hope 

671
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,800
you're never caught. 
What are some of the other 

672
00:33:22,900 --> 00:33:26,800
things that maybe aren't as 
noticeable from a security 

673
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,400
perspective that People should 
be concerned about and drive 

674
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,700
towards making sure that apis 
are probably governed are 

675
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:36,300
properly secured and being 
utilized the way that they've 

676
00:33:36,300 --> 00:33:38,800
been designed to. 
Yeah, so that's a good question.

677
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,400
And, you know, it's actually 
relatively scary like when we 

678
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,300
start back to talk about it, 
because if I look at, you know, 

679
00:33:44,300 --> 00:33:46,900
what's driving my Tesla, its 
API, right? 

680
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,400
It's calls from, you know, a 
service on my steering wheel and

681
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,000
my accelerator down to, you 
know, the central control panel 

682
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,600
and then talking about to the 
internet somewhere. 

683
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,900
So what can what's the 
worst-case scenario, you know? 

684
00:33:58,100 --> 00:33:59,400
Yeah. 
Well, somebody takes that over. 

685
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,400
And we've seen it. 
We've seen it hacked many a time

686
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,000
already. 
I think, Dodge not successful in

687
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,600
a fairly but Dodge and a few 
other ones have had their, you 

688
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,900
know, their auto-drive features 
and apis hacked. 

689
00:34:10,699 --> 00:34:12,500
We saw that we're just person 
Mercedes. 

690
00:34:12,500 --> 00:34:15,000
I think believe that was the end
of last year. 

691
00:34:15,500 --> 00:34:18,000
It wasn't a hack of the driving 
system, but it was a hack of the

692
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,100
data coming through the 
Bluetooth platform, right? 

693
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,400
So so it's not just personal 
data but you're actually 

694
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,500
livelihood, right? 
Can be impacted and whether it's

695
00:34:26,500 --> 00:34:29,199
a, you know, heart monitor. 
And I T device or whether it's 

696
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:30,500
the car that you're driving, 
right? 

697
00:34:30,500 --> 00:34:32,900
And not doing a pi security, 
right? 

698
00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:35,500
Is going to fundamentally, put 
you at risk and put your 

699
00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:38,800
organization at risk for not 
just, you know, Financial 

700
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,600
liabilities but potentially, you
know livelihood of people? 

701
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,800
Yeah. 
I think about that too. 

702
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,500
And it's a connected world and 
if a human designed it, that 

703
00:34:47,500 --> 00:34:50,000
means that there are flaws in it
and there will be, you know, 

704
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:54,400
ways to break systems as that 
have been designed. 

705
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,300
I know that you've been very 
generous With your time with us.

706
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:02,500
And one of the things that we've
started to do is kind of close 

707
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:05,100
out with maybe something not. 
So I am so that we're not 

708
00:35:05,100 --> 00:35:08,400
leaving on a heavy note, right? 
Try to lighten the mood after 

709
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,700
the Doom and Gloom of not having
apis being secured and I think 

710
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:16,400
all your money stolen and 
Facebook watching you, Jim came 

711
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,400
up with a good one. 
I'll let him have the honors 

712
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,500
Jim, why don't you go for it? 
Yeah, but before I do that Jeff 

713
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:23,700
went to remind you. 
They are fractions of a penny. 

714
00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:27,900
Have you seen the the penny dish
at the convenience store? 

715
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:31,200
Therefore everyone right, 
Community pennies. 

716
00:35:31,700 --> 00:35:38,200
That's little Office Space. 
Chatter if you will so mine on. 

717
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,300
I am question and this is really
timely because of my guests. 

718
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:47,000
Guzzler that I mentioned 
earlier, my nan, I am question 

719
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,500
is what is the coolest car 
you've ever owned? 

720
00:35:51,300 --> 00:35:53,100
And I'm going to start with 
Nathaniel. 

721
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:57,600
Oh, this is a, I got a two-part 
answer on this one too, so I 

722
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,400
still own it. 
So I have a 77 Vijay 40, which 

723
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,900
is the old Land Cruiser, but the
BJ is a diesel does Ignatian, I 

724
00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:10,200
imported it from Canada on 25 
some odd years ago, so it's kind

725
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,800
of like a diesel Jeep 
essentially, that's incredibly 

726
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,700
low geared. 
Seemingly can drive up trees, 

727
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:20,400
although I would never hurt a 
tree, second one would be an 

728
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,200
F100. 
So I've got a 52 F100, that's in

729
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,500
my garage. 
That's, I mean, it's pretty to 

730
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:33,100
look at and that's more my 
wife's car, but I bought it for 

731
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:35,200
us. 
There's a tough guy. 

732
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,100
For me to my first cars. 
Like I love this so much. 

733
00:36:39,100 --> 00:36:45,800
It was a 69 Ford Falcon with 
dry-rotted winter tires. 

734
00:36:45,900 --> 00:36:49,400
So in other words, these tires 
were like if I stepped on the 

735
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:53,800
gas they spun and left. 
A black streak behind me and 

736
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,600
left a bunch of smoke because 
they were just like just so old 

737
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,600
of tires and everything but that
was a fun car. 

738
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,100
I had a 72 Nova SS in college. 
I drive a Mustang convertible 

739
00:37:07,100 --> 00:37:12,900
now, but I think the fun is car 
I've ever owned was, I had an 88

740
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:18,400
v w Vanagon with one of those 
tops and popped up and became a 

741
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:21,700
tent. 
And it had a full size bed under

742
00:37:21,700 --> 00:37:25,000
it. 
And a full-size, the back seat, 

743
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,100
folded down to become a 
full-size bed. 

744
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:30,100
It had a kitchen and a 
refrigerator in it. 

745
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:33,400
I mean, it was like my Hippie 
Mobile. 

746
00:37:33,500 --> 00:37:37,400
So that thing was You know, 
everybody loves it was a 

747
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,700
conversation piece, the only 
downside to others to downsize, 

748
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,100
one was, I mean the thing broke 
down a lot so it was in the shop

749
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,600
about as much as it was in my 
garage. 

750
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:51,200
The second thing is it was a gas
guzzler. 

751
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,200
So when gas was cheap that was 
no problem. 

752
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,900
But when gas got expensive and 
like I'm experiencing right now,

753
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:03,800
we're gas has not existed in my 
part of the country, that was 

754
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,400
not the best. 
So, With that, I already know 

755
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,000
what Jeff sensor is going to be.
So go ahead, I'll pass the you 

756
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,200
Jeff. 
Well, okay, so I'm not a car 

757
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,500
person at all. 
I'm more of a, you know, the 

758
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:15,300
tech geek nerd. 
So, of course, my answer is 

759
00:38:15,300 --> 00:38:18,000
probably not going to be 
surprised, but it is definitely 

760
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,900
my 2018 Tesla Model 3. 
Absolutely. 

761
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,700
Love that vehicle. 
Absolutely perfect. 

762
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:27,700
Never had a problem with it at 
least no major problems. 

763
00:38:27,700 --> 00:38:30,100
Right stuff that you know, 
little things here and there but

764
00:38:30,100 --> 00:38:32,200
it is so much fun to drive an 
electric vehicle. 

765
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,300
You know I'm a Tesla fan just 
They were the ones that that 

766
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,000
came out ahead of time and the 
one that was available. 

767
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,200
And I've been waiting on that 
one for a while. 

768
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,000
So I guess you can coin that my 
maybe midlife crisis car, but I 

769
00:38:45,008 --> 00:38:47,200
think it's fantastic. 
I have not been to the gas 

770
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,400
station in, I don't know, at 
least six months, maybe even 

771
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,400
longer mostly just to fill up my
wife's car and I haven't, you 

772
00:38:55,408 --> 00:38:57,900
know, I can't remember the last 
time I had to take care of an 

773
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,000
oil change or anything like 
that. 

774
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,200
Mean the only maintenance I've 
had to do on it is putting in 

775
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:04,200
windshield, washer fluid, that's
it. 

776
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,500
So I absolutely The Tesla is 
just so much fun to drive and 

777
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,000
you know, I think it's not it's 
not specific to Tesla, right? 

778
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,800
The the quick acceleration and 
the torque that you get from an 

779
00:39:12,808 --> 00:39:15,900
electric motor. 
Most electric cars are a lot of 

780
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:18,400
fun to drive and it comes down 
to, you know, probably the 

781
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,300
Comforts that come around it. 
But, yeah, absolutely. 

782
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:25,600
It is, is my Tesla. 
That is my pride and joy, and 

783
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:29,800
I'm looking already looking 
forward to my next EV and 

784
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,500
whether I'll stay with them, 
Tesla brand, or maybe. 

785
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:35,100
Look at something like you were 
kind of talked about this last 

786
00:39:35,100 --> 00:39:36,700
night. 
Night, my wife and I around, you

787
00:39:36,707 --> 00:39:41,500
know, maybe the Ford Mustang 
Mach e which is, I know there is

788
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:43,400
polarizing. 
A, whether you should be using 

789
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,400
the Mustang name for an electric
vehicle, but it looks pretty 

790
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,200
sharp and seems to have some 
some pretty good metrics around 

791
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,200
it, so I'm going to go but I'm 
going to go with my Tesla. 

792
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,700
That's that's my jam and it's a 
lot of fun to drive. 

793
00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:59,200
So I think with that, that's 
probably a good spot where we 

794
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,300
can go ahead and leave it. 
We had a pretty good mix of 

795
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:06,900
vehicles there between trucks 
and hippie mobiles and Mustangs 

796
00:40:06,900 --> 00:40:09,400
and Tesla. 
So I think we covered really the

797
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,200
the wide variety of vehicles 
that could potentially be out 

798
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,000
there. 
Nathan's think thank you so much

799
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,700

people were able to get, you 

800
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:21,600
know, idea of kind of, at least,
if they, if they aren't familiar

801
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,400
with open banking, you know, how
they might already be using it 

802
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,700
and not even just be aware of 
it, but How, you know, 

803
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:31,300
Technologies and standards are 
developing to make life easier 

804
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:34,300
to be able to manage finances.
