IAM is having an identity crisis. Prior concepts that used to work don't fit as well. Ian Glazer, an OG Identerati, describes this dynamic and the future of IAM. I recommend this to any technical leader. Below is a summary with quotes: Ian proposes a new Identity and Access Management framework focused on four key components: Policy, Orchestration, Execution, and Data. - Policy: "Whether those policies are built by practitioners’ hands, written by AI, or some combination of the two, all identity systems require some form of policy. Policy is more than just the maintenance of the rules of the road." - Orchestration: "Without a complete transaction view, the identity and security teams have to piece together the story of why someone got elevated access, and we all know they have way better things to do." - Execution: "This work is hard, nuanced, and increasingly commoditized." - Data: "An identity fabric cannot be successful without a consistent and robust data layer. There’s no sensible way for a fabric to operate in a coherent way unless all of the components are reading from the same sheet of music, so to speak" Wondering where AKA Identity plays in this framework? 😀 Check out our website for some hints and reach out if you see we see. Our amazing early-stage partners & community are making this future real.

Today I start to share some of my purpose and "why IAM." Why did I make the career leap from a founding venture capitalist to a founding IAM startup executive? AKA Identity

Is this what a feels like to be a YouTube influencer? This is the most viral video content I've ever been involved with. 1K views per day since it was published! Kudos to Chris Cochran, the AKA Identity marketing team, and our advisors (Eve Maler, Allan Alford) for making this result possible. I'm loving this journey of building our brand and celebrating the opportunities ahead in #iam.
