Show Notes

The importance of identity within our field has been established. According to analysis from CrowdStrike, 8/10 attacks are identity-based. But what does that actually mean? How do we even define identity these days, and how has it changed?

To look into this, Robby has invited an expert within the field, Peter Barta. Peter works as a Senior Cloud Security Engineer at Rothesay, the UK's largest specialist pensions insurer, securing pensions for over 810 000 people, and has previously worked in Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM) which manages the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global.

During their conversation, Peter takes us both to the far side of Security Engineering, as well as goes though some of the more standard best practice most organisations should have on their radar.

They talk about how you can design and create something that is user-friendly enough for everyone in an organisation, also the users not interested in identity or security. As well as the developer side of secret management, dynamic sessions, zero trust, and what he thinks security engineers should focus more on.
