WORK HISTORY
Commercial Account Executive @Delinea
Toronto, ON, CA
In the infinite struggle for the technical advantage between bad actors and defenders, considerable efforts were made to construct firewalls and secure endpoints, but we must now circle back to the impacts that identity and access have on an attack’s blast radius.It’s a warning passed down by generations in tales ranging from the Trojan Horse to The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.And in the present digital age, adversaries aren’t breaking in. They are logging in.If we can acknowledge that identity and access are the paths of least resistance for bad actors, then we agree that securing identities, human and non-human, are the first line of defense.However, the barriers to achieving secure identities across an organization can be seen as costly, time-consuming, and non-attainable with non-human identities accelerating to a ratio of relative to human identities.Regardless of the size, scale, and complexities. Every user MUST be considered a privileged user due to the risks of downtime, cost, and increasing effectiveness of bad actors through their rapid adoption of AI.Delinea counts EVERY user as a privileged user and has made privileged access more accessible and seamless to reduce barriers, times, and costs for security teams trying to keep pace with the evolving landscape.If you are unsure about which of your users have access or even who they are you then you are at risk.
