Episode notes
Security As An Enabler
- Harish frames security as an enabler rather than a control gate, learned from banking's regulated environment.
- This mindset balances protection, agility, user experience, and regulatory adherence at scale.
Banking's 'Fail Fast' Shaped His Approach
- Harish recounts banking's 'fail fast' culture that let teams try new tech quickly under strict regulatory consequences.
- That environment taught him to see risk controls as confidence enablers rather than mere blockers.
Make Identity The Primary Control
- Do decouple security from the network and make identity the primary control so policies follow the user.
- Treat access as tied to the corporate identity badge regardless of location to enable consistent enforcement.
