The Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series Beyond Passwords: Making Identity-Based Attacks Impossible in the Age of AI
In this episode, Dr. Dave Chatterjee sits down with Jasson Casey, CEO & Co-Founder @ Beyond Identity, to dissect the growing threat of identity-based attacks, which now account for nearly 80% of breaches. Casey explains how adversaries increasingly “log in” instead of breaking in, leveraging techniques such as MFA fatigue, session hijacking, and phishing kits. He shares lessons from his professional journey—ranging from building telco networks to advising the U.S. Government and launching Beyond Identity—and explains how his team's identity defense solution eliminates root causes of credential theft while reducing SOC workloads. The discussion also addresses why traditional human training cannot withstand adversaries armed with deepfakes and agentic AI, underscoring the need for technology to carry the defensive burden. Together, Chatterjee and Casey explore the double-edged role of AI, strategies for phased deployments (“ring deployments”), and the importance of embedding identity defense into board-level governance through the Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) framework.
