This week there is a special guest on the podcast. Eric Olden CEO at Strata joins Simon for a discussion. They cover a broad and meandering set of topics focused on Eric's journey to being a multi-company founder (his first startup was at age 23..), contributing to the SAML specification and how he is now focused on identity orchestration at Strata. What is orchestration? Why is it needed and how the rise of the hybrid cloud landscape is here to stay. They deep dive into IDQL, identity integration recipes and how the rise of the AI co-pilot may save us all.
