Episode notes

In this Sponsor Spotlight episode of Identity at the Center, hosts Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman sit down with Venkat Raghavan, founder and CEO of Stack Identity. They dive deep into the critical issue of identity security in the cloud, shedding light on the pervasive problem of over-provisioned access and the risks it poses to organizations. Venkat emphasizes the asymmetric challenge defenders face against attackers and the importance of continuous access management in reducing the attack surface.

Throughout the conversation, Venkat introduces listeners to Stack Identity's innovative approach, focusing on simplifying the removal of access to prevent breaches. He illustrates how Stack Identity acts as a copilot, guiding organizations to identify and mitigate identity-related risks through their Shadow Access Risk Assessment tool, offering actionable insights within an hour of deployment.

Listeners will also get a sneak peek into Stack Identity's presence at the 2024 RSA conference, where they will showcase their solutions to help businesses clamp down on excessive cloud permissions. Venkat also shares personal anecdotes, including his pre-competition rituals in competitive tennis, highlighting the importance of mental preparation in both sports and cybersecurity.
