Listen "Securing Workload Identities And Working On Conjure - Jody Hunt"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Security Repo Podcast, we explore the fascinating and complex world of non-human identities (NHIs) with Jody Hunt from CyberArk. We discuss the challenges of authenticating machine workloads, delve into the "secret zero" problem, and consider how frameworks like SPIFFE are shaping the future of secure machine identity. Plus, Jody shares his journey through a tech acquisition and the enduring importance of thinking like an attacker in cybersecurity.
Jody has held diverse roles in software development, sales, and marketing. He has been an enthusiastic promoter of DevOps principles since 2010. He became aware of the growing security gap introduced by automation which led him to join Conjur in 2017. Four months later, CyberArk acquired Conjur to extend secrets management and machine identity solutions to DevOps, Cloud and Kubernetes workloads.
