Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Identity Week Europe: Why Andrew Bud Believes Liveness Is Becoming Critical Infrastructure for AI
Q: What prompted the shift into identity and this focus on liveness?
The guest explains a mobile payments scandal where fraud exposed weak protections, which led him to invent a way to ensure that a real person is present during transactions, ultimately recognizing this as solving a fundamental online trust problem.
Delinea's Chris Kelly on Shadow AI and the New Identity Security Crisis
Q: What practical steps should a CISO take to begin transforming their IAM strategy for shadow AI?
Start with inventorying non-human identities, tackle standing access, prioritize top privileged identities for just-in-time controls, and govern AI usage and shadow IT to reduce risk without impeding business needs.
Delinea's Chris Kelly on Shadow AI and the New Identity Security Crisis
Q: How does Delinea approach real-time identity security for humans, machines, and AI?
Delinea emphasizes real-time discovery, risk understanding, and enforcing least privilege with just-in-time access across on-prem, data center, multi-cloud, and ephemeral environments to enable faster, safer operations.
Wicket’s Jeff Boehm Breaks Down Face-Gate Adoption in Sports
Q: How do you address concerns about privacy and surveillance?
By being overt about usage, requiring opt-in, and focusing on authentication rather than surveillance, with clear explanations of data handling and security measures.

Q: What is the adoption like for facial authentication in venues today?
