Episode Synopsis

 In this episode of the Connected Frontier, we explore why Identity and Access Management (IAM) is no longer just a technical tool but the foundational backbone of modern cybersecurity. With the old "castle-and-moat" security model now obsolete, the episode explains how your digital identity has become the new perimeter to defend. We break down the core principles of IAM and its key technologies, using real-world case studies like the MGM Resorts and Okta breaches to show what happens when identity security fails. Tune in to understand why a robust IAM strategy is essential for protecting your business, ensuring compliance, and building a resilient security posture in a world where you must "never trust, always verify." Support the show
