Ok, the Modern IT Paradox is now behind us, and it's time to move forward with the rest of the season. Or is it? Did we just uncover more paradoxes? Is it all just one massive paradox?
In Episode 4 of Season 2, we dive deep into the complex world of identity in IT - not just usernames and passwords, but the fundamental questions of how we determine, protect, and manage value in our digital assets. From questioning why we automatically use our names as identifiers to exploring the paradox of protecting high-value assets while keeping them useful, Nate and Mike unpack the challenges of modern identity management.
We explore thought-provoking questions like: Who really decides what's valuable in your organization? How do you balance security with usability? And why do we keep giving away half the puzzle by using our names as identifiers? Plus, we tackle the eternal struggle of matching security controls to actual risk, and why "trust but verify" might need an upgrade in 2025.
Along the way, we share the latest IT leadership job opportunities, debate the merits of passwordless authentication, and contemplate a future where maybe we can authenticate by simply sipping a protein shake (patent pending).
