1
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,400
This is identity at the center. 
If it has anything to do with 

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:17,920
IAM, this is the go to podcast 
now your hosts Jim McDonald and 

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,760
Jeff Stedman. 
All right. 

4
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,480
Can everybody hear me? 
OK? 

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,240
Good. 
Welcome to a special 

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,200
Authenticate 2023 edition of the
Identity at the Center podcast. 

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,920
I'm Jeff, and that's Jim. 
Hey, Jim. 

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,120
Hey, Jeff. 
How are you? 

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,240
Oh, not so bad yourself. 
I'm doing great. 

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,720
You're normally in the podcast. 
Is that where I start out with 

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,680
the complaint? 
I don't have one. 

12
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,400
That's unlike you I. 
Know well. 

13
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:51,000
I mean the polls great, the 
weather's great, password stink,

14
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,560
but pass keys are great. 
You know, so you found something

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,760
to complain about right there. 
I snuck that in. 

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,560
So this is the first time we've 
done something like this, where 

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,200
we got up on the mainstage. 
Usually we're tucked away in a 

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,800
corner somewhere where we're not
visible because we have faces 

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,920
for radio and we have voices for
a silent movie. 

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,440
So we try to keep it simple 
here. 

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,560
So far, the best part of this 
conference has to definitely be 

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,520
I can't see him, but Nick, the 
guy on the Segway with the 

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,520
camera, that guy's awesome. 
He's here, I think for the last 

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,160
couple years. 
Andrew, it's at least a couple 

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,080
years, right? 
Yeah. 

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,200
OK, so that guy's awesome. 
He's like, when we're talking 

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,600
superheroes for Authenticate, I 
think he should get like a 

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,000
honorable mention for that as 
well. 

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,440
People are probably wondering, 
you know, what is this session 

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,680
about? 
Seems like everybody left, which

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,880
is fine. 
This is really a conversation 

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,400
around identity that we're going
to be having. 

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,880
So what we do from a podcast 
perspective at the Identity 

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Center is we started this about 
4 1/2 years ago. 

35
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,520
It's a side project that Jim and
I have been working on for that 

36
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,800
long. 
We put out weekly episodes, got 

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,000
thousands of listeners around 
the world, hopefully some 

38
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:56,800
friendly faces and ears in here 
as well. 

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000
And yeah, it's something we do 
weekly. 

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,840
And if you want to add Jim I. 
It's just grown so much, you 

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,360
know, you mentioned thousands of
listeners around the globe. 

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,080
I remember the first episode we 
had 25 downloads. 

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520
We knew who all those people. 
Were that was 20 of them. 

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,120
Yeah, and now we're up to like, 
episode 2. 3238 went live this 

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720
morning, so we're technically 
competing with ourself as we're 

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,040
doing this at the same time. 
Yeah. 

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,600
What do you do during the day, 
Jim? 

48
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,080
I am an identity advisory 
practice consultant. 

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,680
I lead an identity practice. 
We both work for a company 

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,480
called RSM, 5th largest 
consulting firm in the US. 

51
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:36,840
Jim and I have been working 
together for eight years. 

52
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,680
This is something that again 
kind of a labour of love for us.

53
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:45,080
What we do want to talk about 
today though is Fido 

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,800
authentication. 
We've got AI will call it a 

55
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160
plethora. 
Of identity product managers who

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,680
are going to join us up on the 
stage here in a second. 

57
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,480
So I'm going to go ahead and 
introduce them now and they'll 

58
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,160
come back from backstage. 
We've got Daniel Grubby from 

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,080
TikTok, Christian Brand from 
Google and Mahender and Matt 

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,800
Event from eBay. 
So give him a round of applause 

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,880
as we're walking up here. 
Guys in the Arsenio Hall. 

62
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,720
Right. 
That shows our age by doing 

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,520
that. 
All right. 

64
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,640
So I know we're kind of running,
you know, weirdly on time 

65
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:20,800
schedules. 
We're going to kind of jump 

66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,840
right into it guys. 
You guys are all, sorry, I'm 

67
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,440
moving the mic around here. 
You guys are all product 

68
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,440
managers from an identity 
perspective. 

69
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,360
Tell us a little bit about your 
roles and mahender, why don't we

70
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,400
start with you? 
What? 

71
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:34,560
Just briefly describe what your 
role is, sure. 

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,080
Hi everyone I lead 
authentication product at eBay. 

73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,480
I've been working in the 
identity industry for almost a 

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,000
decade now. 
A huge shout out to my 

75
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,520
engineers, UX designers and 
architects and data analysts who

76
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,200
are Some of them are sitting 
right here and yeah, that's me. 

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Great, happy to go next. 
Hi folks, I'm Christian. 

78
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,080
I've been working on passkey and
fighter related efforts for 

79
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,720
about a decade. 
Also, I'll give a shout out to 

80
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,560
the team. 
We have a lot of Googlers here 

81
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,680
this week. 
We've been working towards 

82
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400
getting passkeys out for Google 
accounts for a long time. 

83
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,720
Earlier this year, as Andrew 
mentioned in May, we finally 

84
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,280
made it available as an elective
like as an elective flow, as an 

85
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,120
option for users to try and play
with. 

86
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:19,959
And then earlier this month, I 
believe just the last week on 

87
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:23,520
Tuesday, we announced that we 
are going to start. 

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,600
Making passkeys the default 
option for users. 

89
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,040
So actually today I'm sorry I'm 
taking too long, but I will say 

90
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,720
this one thing today. 
If you do a web search in Google

91
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Search on Mac OS, iOS, and other
places, you should start seeing 

92
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,040
a nudge on Google search to 
start using passkeys. 

93
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,720
All right, Daniel, That's what 
we talked to follow up with, but

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,640
go for it, yeah. 
Thank you. 

95
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,040
So my name is Dana Ruby and I am
a product manager on our account

96
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,960
platform team at Tiktok. 
And I focus specifically on 

97
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,920
account security, but we work on
everything from signing up the 

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,800
new user journey as well as 
logging in. 

99
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,200
Yeah. 
And similarly, Tiktok has now 

100
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,720
launched Pass keys globally on 
iOS, which is really exciting as

101
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,960
our first kind of step in the 
Pass Keys, you know, And we have

102
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,960
a future road map as well, which
we're excited to share with 

103
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,200
everyone. 
But hey Mahindar, eBay started 

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,920
with web auth N very early. 
Why is that? 

105
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,240
So at eBay, you know we take 
pride in building magical 

106
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,880
experiences for our customers 
and putting our customer first. 

107
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,200
I would say two things help with
you know, starting web auth and 

108
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,880
one is clearly articulating the 
benefits of I would say 

109
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,200
usability and security that web 
auth and provided at that point 

110
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,200
in time. 
So you know reducing friction is

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,600
going to help build the business
or enable the business and 

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,560
improving security is going to 
build trust on the marketplace 

113
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,600
and helps you know hence helps 
with the customer retention as 

114
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,360
well. 
The 2nd aspect would be that 

115
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,760
eBay is also an early adopter of
Fido UAF. 

116
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,160
We built native biometrics way 
back in time. 

117
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,040
So they bought them, and even 
passkeys and password list is a 

118
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,680
natural continuation to that. 
Christian, you just kind of 

119
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,720
teased the announcement that 
Google made about pass keys by 

120
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,160
default. 
I'm curious, you know, I've been

121
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,920
a supporter of that for a while.
I've. 

122
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,840
I've frequently pointed to 
Google on our show about passkey

123
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:19,440
adoption and how easy it was. 
What drove that decision to make

124
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,960
that announcement? 
I think it was last week to say 

125
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,640
hey now. 
By default we're using pass keys

126
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,640
as our primary authentication. 
Yeah. 

127
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,160
That's a great question. 
So I mean, at Google, we're 

128
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,280
extremely data-driven. 
So everything we do is usually 

129
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:36,000
based on numbers or metrics. 
It was a calculated decision 

130
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,200
earlier this year when we 
started in May to roll out 

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,720
passkeys. 
We wanted to really do two 

132
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,120
things right. 
Overnight adoption was not the 

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,400
goal. 
Primary goal was to show the 

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,440
rest of the world that this 
technology is ready for prime 

135
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,280
time, right? 
We're willing to essentially 

136
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,920
subject our users to the Passkey
experience if they choose to, 

137
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,120
you know, take up the challenge 
essentially. 

138
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,160
The goal was not to get hundreds
of millions of users overnight. 

139
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,760
We wanted to start, you know, 
showing the world, showing 

140
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,000
developers, showing other 
companies that the technology is

141
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,600
ready. 
But the second part of this was 

142
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,680
we wanted to start getting data 
right. 

143
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,920
We wanted to start having a set 
of users who self selected. 

144
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,680
So if something goes off the 
rails, these users know where to

145
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,080
turn it on and turn it off. 
Luckily nothing went off the 

146
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,520
rails. 
So I'll kind of like, you know, 

147
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,120
preference that, but start to 
get data, right? 

148
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,800
So, so we were gathering data 
for the last think about five 

149
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,560
months. 
We feel like we have enough data

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,920
to show us what works, what 
still needs more work, and 

151
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,040
again, you know, happy to go 
into some details at some point.

152
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,600
But for now suffice to say we 
think the experience is on par 

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,360
from a reliability perspective 
with other types of technologies

154
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,040
we allow during signing. 
But more importantly, passkeys 

155
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,080
are easier to use for users, and
we have some survey results that

156
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400
I think we also made available 
as part of these blog posts 

157
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,800
users find. 
Passkeys easier to use. 

158
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,760
The perception is that they're 
more secure, which of course is 

159
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360
correct. 
And in general we're just trying

160
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,800
to move the world to a space 
where we're saying don't hide 

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,600
your passkey support behind, you
know, 3 clicks in some account 

162
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,360
settings. 
And I know that made sense, 

163
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,560
right? 
That's what we did as well. 

164
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,560
You can actually start to 
subject users to this front and 

165
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,440
centre, even users you've never 
heard the term passkey. 

166
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,240
We think the technology is at 
the point in most of the flows 

167
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280
where users can start seeing 
this and intuitively. 

168
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Do we understand what they need 
to do? 

169
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,600
Daniel, you're with TikTok. 
First off, do you do the dances?

170
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,799
Second off, you know, you guys 
are kind of newcomers to Fido. 

171
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,240
Why jump in now? 
Sure. 

172
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,040
Yeah. 
To answer your first question, 

173
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,560
no. 
I don't do the. 

174
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:53,560
Dances, I'm not a dancer. 
But second, yeah, so why now? 

175
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:56,920
I I think, why not now, right? 
The technology has obviously 

176
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,960
been adopted by a lot of big 
players in the industry and 

177
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Tiktok wants to be a part of 
that. 

178
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,400
I think that what we know at 
Tiktok is that one. 

179
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,440
Like you said, we want a user 
friendly but most secure login 

180
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,600
experience. 
The second thing is, is we know 

181
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,800
that Tiktok has a lot of login 
options, right? 

182
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,200
You can log into Tiktok with a 
password with an SMSOTP code, a 

183
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,320
third party option. 
We want to make sure that with 

184
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,640
this plethora of options that we
also reduce the risk of all of 

185
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,680
those at the same time. 
Offering users a passkey does 

186
00:09:24,680 --> 00:09:27,200
that in a user friendly way, 
especially with the way that we 

187
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,480
implemented it, which upsells 
passkey as the primary login 

188
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,480
method for users who created it.
And then the last one is 

189
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,280
essentially that Tiktok had 
already invested in 502 

190
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,040
internally. 
We wanted to expand that 

191
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,840
investment to make sure that the
most secure login methods that 

192
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,800
we offer to our employees are 
also offered to our users on the

193
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,040
platform. 
So really creating consistency 

194
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,320
there as well as important. 
So how? 

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Did you handle communicating 
Pass keys to your end users? 

196
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,760
Yeah, of course. 
I think one of the biggest 

197
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,080
considerations, especially, you 
know, at a social media company 

198
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,280
like TikTok where you have a lot
of young users and things like 

199
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,360
that. 
Are they really going to 

200
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,160
understand the tech, the 
technical architecture of what 

201
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,840
is a passkey, things like that? 
Even asking my own friends, I 

202
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920
was like, hey, you know, let's 
test this out. 

203
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,920
What do you guys think they're 
like, oh, I already do this 

204
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,960
every day in all my banking 
apps. 

205
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,520
You know, I use my face to log 
in. 

206
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800
I'm like, that's not really what
this is, But that's fine. 

207
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,880
So we found that and similar to 
what the UX guidelines from Fido

208
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,080
say. 
Is that if you help users to 

209
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,040
understand or play off what they
think is happening, this really 

210
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,800
can help adoption and increase 
popularity of it. 

211
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,440
So playing off things like Face 
ID, Touch ID as ways to login 

212
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040
and using that to communicate to
users of this new login method 

213
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,000
will really help with adoption 
and popularity. 

214
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,440
I'm curious because it's not 
always happy path, right? 

215
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,880
There's things that go wrong, 
things that could be better. 

216
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,600
Are there things that were 
discovered that you consider you

217
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,840
know, roadblocks, or things that
still need to be worked out? 

218
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,440
I don't know Mahender or 
Christian or or Daniel. 

219
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,680
Whoever wants to take that one. 
I mean I'm I'm happy to start. 

220
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,920
I I think there are many rough 
ages, right. 

221
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,320
But I think it really depends on
user flows. 

222
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,560
There are certain flows that 
work beautifully, take the same 

223
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,960
device flow for example, right. 
If you have a pass key available

224
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,720
on the device that you're on, 
all you have to do is show your 

225
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,880
face and touch your fingerprint.
I mean there is there is no 

226
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,360
dispute there, right. 
That experience is much better, 

227
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,680
much easier than using a 
password and other forms of 

228
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:20,240
second factor which usually 
accompanies that that password 

229
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,880
with sensitive logins. 
When you do not have a pass key 

230
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,720
on the machine, we have two 
challenges, right? 

231
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,480
The one challenge is a technical
challenge. 

232
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,080
Does the protocol work reliably?
There is Bluetooth involved. 

233
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,680
There is network communications 
involved, There is the scanning 

234
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:35,360
of AQR code involved in some 
cases. 

235
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,960
So that's one challenge. 
There is a second challenge, 

236
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,080
which is users just don't get 
that flow yet, right? 

237
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,640
They don't understand 
necessarily. 

238
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,960
We're thinking that Post COVID, 
like lots of users, especially 

239
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,440
in the US, used to scanning QR 
codes because we've seen them on

240
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,200
menus and other places for a 
long time that. 

241
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Doesn't necessarily translate to
other places in the world and 

242
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,200
even in the US users are 
sometimes used to scanning these

243
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,160
characters with certain apps and
certain phones don't really 

244
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,160
understand that well. 
So I think there's really a user

245
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,560
behaviour issue and then there 
is a technical issue. 

246
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:05,840
On the technical front we're 
doing a lot of work and I think 

247
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,400
you know everyone involved here 
and I see a lot of familiar 

248
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,880
faces involved in that. 
You know, process is is doing a 

249
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,760
fantastic job and we're pushing 
the technology forward. 

250
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,680
We're, you know, sanding down 
these rough edges and yes, we 

251
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:20,600
are at a point where we can 
start to subject users to these 

252
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,840
flows, although. 
So I think that's where I would 

253
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,840
say the elective portion still 
comes in. 

254
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,120
I don't think we want to put 
that front and centre for every 

255
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,280
user. 
If you take these side by side 

256
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,440
entering a password, scanning a 
QR code and going through that 

257
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,200
process, most users will still 
tell you actually, you know 

258
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,720
what, my password is probably 
easier. 

259
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,000
It's not secure, but it's 
easier, right? 

260
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,480
We need to move the needle so 
that the QR code flow becomes 

261
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,520
second nature. 
And that kind of brings me to 

262
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,200
the second point, which is who's
going to take that first plunge 

263
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,120
to put their, you know, 100 
million or a bullion users 

264
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,280
through QR code scans rather 
than? 

265
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,240
And doing passwords right, I 
think that is where we are 

266
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,000
saying you know with our 
elective or the by default kind 

267
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,920
of approach that we've taken, 
let's do that where it makes 

268
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,120
sense, let's do that for the 
same device passkey flows and 

269
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,920
that's what we're doubling down 
on right now. 

270
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,200
Whereas the QR code flow remains
an option for users and we want 

271
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,120
to gradually turn that volume 
upwards with the rest of 

272
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,720
industry. 
And that's why it's so important

273
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,120
also to have my, you know, 
partners here with us on on 

274
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,040
stage because. 
We don't think pass keys is 

275
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,160
something that one company can 
take forward and make a success.

276
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,680
We need the industry to show 
users that is how we are going 

277
00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:34,200
to work with this going forward.
Scanning AQR code is certainly 

278
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,360
easier than opening a password 
manager on your phone and 

279
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,640
retyping a complex password. 
So I do think we need to kind of

280
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,560
like push users to understand 
why these flows might be easier 

281
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,520
to use than than the the the 
status quo. 

282
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,120
But it'll take industry. 
I guess participation to really 

283
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,760
move that. 
I'd like to add to that as well.

284
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,000
So I broadly see 3 categories, 3
roadblocks, right? 

285
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,200
One is user awareness. 
Passwords are still common, 

286
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,560
password managers are common to 
you know at eBay. 

287
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:09,440
If you look at it, users don't 
see authentication as a thing 

288
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,400
that they need to do. 
They worry about buying and 

289
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,440
selling. 
Same applies to Google, like 

290
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,880
they they just want to search 
Tiktok, you know they want to 

291
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,000
make videos. 
Right, authentication is in the 

292
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,320
is the last thing that they 
worry about, right? 

293
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,400
So to be able to create a smart 
contextual authentication that 

294
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,600
works seamlessly across devices 
is is of paramount importance I 

295
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,480
would say. 
So the second roadblock is the 

296
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,280
you know across devices right? 
Password. 

297
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,760
I mean pass keys or any 
technology needs to work like 

298
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,880
how password managers work. 
You go to any device you should 

299
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,040
be able to use, right. 
So interoperability becomes a 

300
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,720
key here. 
We've seen some of with eBay 

301
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,320
data as well. 
Users enroll into these password

302
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080
list methods, but then they get 
a new device or they go to a new

303
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,080
device and then they are back to
passwords. 

304
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,320
So I would say these are the, 
you know, two or three 

305
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,480
roadblocks that we encountered 
at at eBay. 

306
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,000
As well. 
So it wouldn't be an episode of 

307
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,160
Identity at the Centre if we 
didn't talk about AI. 

308
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,120
Which you open and call it AIAI 
sometimes. 

309
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,920
How do you guys see AI impacting
authentication going forward? 

310
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,400
Dana, we'll start with you. 
Yeah, sure. 

311
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,400
So I think that the way I view 
authentication in our journey, 

312
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,000
right, is before someone logs in
when they are already logged in,

313
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,960
and then after they've 
completely lost access from 

314
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400
their account in the first two 
scenarios. 

315
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,320
The way that AI has helped us 
already honestly, and the way 

316
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,840
that it will continue to help us
is to look at aberrations and 

317
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,720
users behaviour. 
We can map out, you know, what 

318
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,480
we expect from a user when 
they're logging in, when they're

319
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,400
already in an account, and then 
understand when that can change.

320
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,960
That can help provide us, 
especially with passkey, right? 

321
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,680
If users you know use a passkey 
to login most of the time we'll 

322
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,680
know when they don't. 
And it makes, as we heard 

323
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,960
earlier today, passwords or 
other methods more risky as a 

324
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,520
login. 
And that can be another signal 

325
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,920
we use to understand as a 
behaviour operation. 

326
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,800
The other way that we look at it
is when a user's completely lost

327
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720
access to their account, how do 
we authenticate their identity 

328
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,520
and get them back in? 
Let's say they deleted their 

329
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,640
pass key, right? 
They have no other login method 

330
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,360
on their account. 
How do we know that this is the 

331
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,520
authentic owner for, you know, 
companies that are in social 

332
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,680
media? 
There are a couple different 

333
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,640
challenges to this. 
There's AI around biometric 

334
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,960
authentication that you can use.
Obviously there are always 

335
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,800
compliance issues around that, 
but also with social media you 

336
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,560
don't always have to be your 
authentic self. 

337
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,200
So biometrics are not always 
going to work right? 

338
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,320
Wait, what? 
What? 

339
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,680
I know, surprise everyone, you 
can be whoever you want online. 

340
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,000
But basically, for some 
companies, you know, like 

341
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Facebook, there's a soft 
requirement that you have to be 

342
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,480
yourself on Facebook at other 
companies like Instagram or, you

343
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,120
know, TikTok. 
You can have a pet account, a 

344
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,160
meme account, really anything 
you want, right? 

345
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,040
And how do we know that this is 
you? 

346
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,600
Especially if we've lost all 
other authentication methods And

347
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,120
and I think that's really where 
I'm curious to see how AI can 

348
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,240
help us in the future as well. 
Mahender Yeah, I think AI works 

349
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880
both ways. 
The good side of it is it can 

350
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,680
help personalized and, you know,
secure authentication. 

351
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,400
You know Gen. 
AI can start, you know, 

352
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,800
authenticating users through 
natural conversations, right? 

353
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,400
You have. 
Zero trust security that that is

354
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,800
coming up where AI plays a big 
role as well. 

355
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,040
But if you look at the flip side
of it, I mean we saw a lot of 

356
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,480
keynote speakers talk about you 
know AI used for hacking and you

357
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:30,160
know taking users credentials. 
I think you know the future of 

358
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,400
how AI would help. 
You know, technology like 

359
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,560
passkeys would be in. 
Distinguishing between I would 

360
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,360
say real humans and AI bot 
that's coming to attack. 

361
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,880
I think that's where the 
industry is going forward is 

362
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,200
what I would, I would like to 
add to what Daniel said. 

363
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,960
Hey Christian, feel free to add 
in on AI, but I also want to 

364
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,600
know what's next after peskies. 
That's great because I think 

365
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,600
that question addresses the 
first one as well. 

366
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,560
So I want to add on to what 
Daniel Mahendra said, not to 

367
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:02,000
repeat that I I think at Google 
we have a slightly. 

368
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,520
I don't want to say a different 
responsibility, but but almost 

369
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,520
like more responsibility. 
If you think about it, your 

370
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,720
Google account is also where a 
lot of your passkeys are going 

371
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,320
to end up. 
Google is the root store for a 

372
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,680
lot of passkeys for users. 
If you're an Android user, by 

373
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,640
default your passkeys for other 
services will go to your Google 

374
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,320
account. 
That's where we keep them for 

375
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,920
you. 
So when you buy a new phone or 

376
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560
when you change devices, you get
access to your passkeys again. 

377
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,360
That all makes sense, right? 
The challenge is if you are a 

378
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,680
single device user and we have a
lot of single device. 

379
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,000
Exist in the world if you break 
your phone or you lose it, or 

380
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,280
you have to sell one phone to 
buy your next one, which a lot 

381
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,080
of users have to do in some 
territories, some countries. 

382
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,480
How do you get back into your 
Google account with a passkey if

383
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,920
your passkey is stored on your 
phone? 

384
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:49,080
Big challenge, right? 
Huge issue. 

385
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,600
Today we fall back to other 
forms of authentication for 

386
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,920
that. 
Passwords, SMS, you know, 

387
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:59,800
sending a prompt to an e-mail 
address, whatever. 

388
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,560
Most of these technologies 
really don't work at scale, and 

389
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,400
they don't work at the level of 
security where we want past keys

390
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,240
to be, what we have started to 
look at and what not on the eyes

391
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,280
I. 
I recently went on a trip to 

392
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,000
China and I had to activate 
WeChat, and WeChat uses remote 

393
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,160
facial recognition. 
That's how you authenticate your

394
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,440
payment profile actually work 
remarkably well. 

395
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,200
However, there's a lot of, you 
know, concerns around like 

396
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,360
remote biometrics and I know 
that's one of the things which 

397
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,520
at Fider we kind of like claim. 
The whole point is everything is

398
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,480
local, right? 
Your biometrics remain local to 

399
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,480
your device. 
So it's great on the privacy 

400
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,560
front. 
The problem is. 

401
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,520
If you need to authenticate a 
user back into their account, 

402
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,360
think of account recovery. 
What do you use? 

403
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,160
Remote biometrics is a potential
solution. 

404
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,640
However, if you think about 
remote biometrics, whatever that

405
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,720
like is maybe remote facial 
recognition? 

406
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,760
It's remote voice recognition, 
if we think back at Rachel's 

407
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,560
presentation this morning. 
Jedi has made this stuff, you 

408
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,560
know, untrustable. 
It's not really trustworthy 

409
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,160
anymore, right? 
If I'm able to create a, at 

410
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,240
least today, two-dimensional 
picture of a user, mostly these 

411
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,800
remote matching stuff is all 
two-dimensional, That's a 

412
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,640
challenge. 
Voice recognition, again, 

413
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:14,880
another challenge. 
I know there's a lot of 

414
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,200
financial institutions who sunk 
a lot of money into remote voice

415
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,360
recognition features. 
I I'm not quite sure that we are

416
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:25,120
going to be able to keep up 
with. 

417
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,640
What's the rate of advances 
there in order to get that 

418
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,320
technology to a point where it 
it can detect that this is an 

419
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,160
electronically altered or a 
generated, you know, piece of 

420
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,440
media. 
That is what that is what 

421
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,680
bothers me a little bit. 
So we're starting to think of 

422
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,720
Google. 
How do we solve this account 

423
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,240
recovery problem? 
We have a couple of ideas. 

424
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,520
We're working on a whole bunch 
of things right now, but AI is 

425
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,480
really throwing a bit of a 
spanner in the works in some of 

426
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,560
these. 
The Unhappy Path is something we

427
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,200
see exploited quite a bit. 
I think we saw it recently with 

428
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,440
events in Vegas. 
We're running short on time, but

429
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,920
we always try to carve out some 
time to end On a lighter note, 

430
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,920
this is where we just have some 
fun, not necessarily identity 

431
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,280
related, something that we can 
just kind of goof off around. 

432
00:21:10,360 --> 00:21:13,320
What we typically do is we'll 
ask our guests hobbies, things 

433
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,600
they do outside of Denny, 
etcetera. 

434
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,240
So we've kind of tailored a few 
different questions here. 

435
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:19,320
Jan, I'm going to start with 
you. 

436
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,960
So I've come up with this 
exciting scenario for you. 

437
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,520
If you had to perform one song 
to go viral on TikTok, and if 

438
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,960
you nailed it, everybody would 
suddenly be enrolled in passkeys

439
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,720
for all their accounts, what 
would you sing or perform? 

440
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,200
Sure, probably. 
Who are you? 

441
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,440
By The Who, I think it's the 
most punny of answers I could 

442
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,160
give. 
Clever. 

443
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,400
But for context, I grew up 
performing, singing. 

444
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,760
I was trained in Opera. 
Randomly, I used to live in 

445
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,360
Paris. 
I sang in the Paris Opera when I

446
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,440
was there. 
I LED an acapella group, 

447
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,280
composed all those songs. 
I was in a band in Austin for a 

448
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,040
long time when I lived there. 
Way too many moments on stage 

449
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,120
performing. 
So the one that I the one song I

450
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,560
didn't love to sing the most 
though, was somebody to Love. 

451
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,160
By Queen, that was always a lot 
of fun. 

452
00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:11,600
Queens are hitting every bar, 
right? 

453
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:12,080
Right. 
Yeah. 

454
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:12,400
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

455
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,320
So maybe that one is that. 
You must be a karaoke superstar.

456
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:19,720
Let's all go after this. 
But we have lakes. 

457
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,760
If you wanted to sing. 
Something I know, right? 

458
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,760
Hendar, you and I have a shared 
experience through in that 1% of

459
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,120
humanity that has gone to the 
top of Half Dome in Yosemite 

460
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,480
National. 
Yeah, really awesome. 

461
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,600
Describe that experience for us.
It was nerve wracking, I should 

462
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,720
say the least. 
You know I'm not fit. 

463
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,840
You can look at me right? 
And I was like, let's go to Hop 

464
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Dome with my friend. 
And we started at 3:00 AM. 

465
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,480
We probably saw a bear or we 
think we saw a bear. 

466
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,480
We don't know. 
We climbed up. 

467
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,480
I think till then it was fine. 
Like we we took six hours, 6 1/2

468
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,160
hours to climb up the Half Dome.
We finished all our water, 

469
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,240
right. 
And coming back down was a pain.

470
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,120
I mean I cannot explain. 
It's easier to implement past 

471
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,880
keys than climb Half Dome. 
I would say that. 

472
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,520
That's a professional tie in. 
You should do a podcast, 

473
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,640
Christian. 
You have a variety of interests.

474
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:21,600
You've learned to play guitar, 
you're learning golf, and 

475
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,840
obviously you're in digital 
identity. 

476
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,720
Of those three things, which is 
the hardest? 

477
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,520
Well, that's a great question. 
First, before that, I just want 

478
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,720
to tell Daniel we've done 
karaoke at 7 out of the last 7 

479
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,440
Fido Plenaries. 
So we'll we'll we'll hook you up

480
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,320
it. 
Finally has been thrown down. 

481
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Absolutely. 
It's interesting, right? 

482
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,080
I think golf takes a lot of 
time, right? 

483
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,680
It's four hours essentially for 
me to play 18, which like you 

484
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,600
know, takes me away from the 
house for for a lot. 

485
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,600
So it's hard to invest proper 
time in that guitar. 

486
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:01,080
You can become mediocre or or 
you know kind of like help 

487
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,360
yourself to the point that you 
know you wouldn't embarrass 

488
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,840
yourself. 
You have to play a song I think 

489
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,280
much quicker than with 
necessarily you know working in 

490
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,120
the identity space, like I I 
feel like identity is is almost 

491
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:16,400
like binary, right? 
You're either, you know don't 

492
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,120
really get the principles and 
and you're not really, you know,

493
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,800
I I guess part of the solution 
until you are, until you really 

494
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,960
can contribute. 
There's just so much happening 

495
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,880
in this space. 
It's so fast moving. 

496
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,960
Not to discourage anyone from 
like participating in the field,

497
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760
of course, but I think there's 
there's such a lot going on. 

498
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,720
And if you are disconnected and 
you're not staying on top of 

499
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,600
things for three months, the 
world has changed so much that 

500
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,960
you almost like, have to I don't
wanna say like relearn. 

501
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,560
So I feel like, you know, 
playing golf and and and playing

502
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,480
the guitar I enjoy because it's 
kind of like riding a bike. 

503
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,040
Once you have the skills you 
retain them today, 10 years from

504
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,520
now, you know you can probably 
still pick it up and and and 

505
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,000
help yourself versus the 
identity space which is just so 

506
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,080
fast changing. 
So again, I'd say identity, 

507
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,160
certainly the hardest thing that
I'm involved in right now do 

508
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,120
enjoy golf. 
But I will say, picking up the 

509
00:25:05,120 --> 00:25:07,200
guitar and being able to just, 
you know, do something for 5 

510
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,280
minutes is is one of the reasons
why I love that instrument. 

511
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,920
One of the things I like about 
the identity industry is just 

512
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,840
when you think you know what 
you're doing, you don't the ID 

513
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,760
Pro organization. 
And I think I saw EM here 

514
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,600
somewhere, he might have stepped
out and I'm probably butchered 

515
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,360
the stat. 
But there's a annual report that

516
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:29,120
comes out every year of skill 
survey and they talk about, you 

517
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:31,880
know, when did you feel most 
comfortable in identity? 

518
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,000
And the numbers changed over the
years. 

519
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,600
But I remember seeing, and I 
think it was a couple years ago,

520
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,040
it was 10 years. 10 years of 
identity and access management 

521
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,720
experience is when you start to 
think you know what you're 

522
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,880
doing. 
I would encourage folks, reach 

523
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,120
out, talk to people. 
There's lots of good resources. 

524
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:51,880
It's been a great industry to 
work in for for a lot of folks. 

525
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,080
But we're going to go ahead and 
start to wrap things up. 

526
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,040
I think it was mentioned 
earlier, there is a Expo hall 

527
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,200
just next door. 
Make sure that you go out and 

528
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,840
check out. 
There's a lot of good solutions 

529
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,120
out there. 
The challenge is there's a lot 

530
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,520
of good solutions out there, so 
you have to try and find the 

531
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,040
right fit for your 
organizations. 

532
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,480
And we're going to be podcasting
in Eclipse 2, which is sort of 

533
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,480
behind the Expo in the hallway 
there. 

534
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,160
So we have an episode later this
afternoon that we're going to be

535
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,200
recording as well as pretty much
all day tomorrow. 

536
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,720
So feel free to come in, drop 
in, check this out. 

537
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,680
What we do, they will be longer 
shows as we sort of normally 

538
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,480
would do it. 
And if you like what you heard, 

539

a two man operation. 

540
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,440
It's literally just Jim and I, 
and we do this every week, 

541
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,520
vendor neutral conversations. 
Want to give a round of applause

542
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,480
to our guests here on the stage.
Thank you so much for joining 

543
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:45,200
us. 
And we're going to go ahead and 

544
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,120
thank also Megan, Andrew and 
Adrian for helping make this 

545
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,560
happen. 
So this is a highlight for us on

546
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,240
the show, to be able to be up on
a stage like this and just have 

547
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,200
this conversation. 
So wanted to give Andrew an 

548
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,920
opportunity to come up or maybe 
it's Megan to make a quick 

549
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,080
announcement. 
We'll go ahead and play our 

550
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,440
outdoor music and say, OK, we're
pretty much it and that's done. 

551
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,640
Thanks for listening and we'll 
talk with everybody in the next 

552
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:15,960
one.
