The importance of maintaining uninterrupted services cannot be overemphasized, especially in light of the recent global IT outage fiasco. With the increasing dependence on cloud-based services, uninterrupted connectivity is essential to maintaining business continuity. Since identity providers control access to an organization's application and data, any downtime can shut down mission-critical operations. It was great to have Eric Olden, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Strata Identity, share his thoughts and perspectives on this critical topic.Action Items and Discussion HighlightsInventory applications and dependencies to understand risk exposure.Conduct risk assessment to quantify risk and start with highest priority applications.Identify single points of failure.Trust but verify. You want to test things repeatedly so that when that inevitable outage happens, you're confident that the incident will not have drastic consequences.Balance investment in identity continuity solutions against the cost of potential downtime.Consider using existing on-premise identity systems like Active Directory as a low-cost redundancy option.Consider implementing identity orchestration and continuity solutions to introduce redundancy after evaluating cost vs risk.Create a culture of resilience that is not surprised when an outage happens but can handle it with grace and confidence.Time Stamps00:02 -- Introduction02:33 -- Guest's Professional Highlights04:32 -- Eric Olden's Perspective on the Global IT Outage Fiasco09:16 -- Practicality of Maintaining Redundancy13:21 -- Identity as Mission-Critical Systems14:03 -- Identifying Single Points of Failure20:00 -- Developing Always-On Identity Continuity Solution21:59 -- Interruption Factors23:12 -- Continuous and Meticulous Risk Assessment25:11 -- Incident highlighting a proactive approach to identity risk management29:42 -- Lessons from the Incident36:35 -- Final ThoughtsMemorable Eric Olden Quotes/Statements"I think a lot of people are realizing that there's more single points of failure in their environments, which creates a significant amount of risk.""Identity system is like the front door of the house; without identity security, you cannot access those applications. So identity has become a mission critical system because it has a primacy in terms of how people access the applications and the data to run today's modern enterprise.""Understand where you have single points of failure because until you do that analysis, you may be assuming that you aren't in a dependent situation because you've got rid of single points of failure in your data infrastructure, but what about the other parts that are not necessarily under your control.""Trust but verify. You want to test things repeatedly so that when that inevitable outage happens, you're confident that things will not take your business down with you.""It's not a question of whether something bad will happen in the future. It was a question of when it will happen and how bad it will hurt.""If you think about the cost of an investment for continuity, you want to ensure that you're not spending more for continuity than it would cost you for downtime.""Create a culture of resilience that is not surprised when an outage happens, but can handle it with grace and confidence."Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to...

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Co-Founder & CEO of Strata Identity, Eric Olden.Eric broke down the concept of identity orchestration. He explained that it falls within a new software category designed to enable organizations to maintain identity management across multiple cloud platforms consistently and automatically. This software ensures secure access to websites, applications, and data, effectively eliminating the need for manual and repetitive processes.From a user's perspective, identity orchestration often operates seamlessly in the background. For instance, when someone logs into a website using their Google ID, it exemplifies identity management. While this process may appear straightforward for individual users, complexity arises when managing identities for numerous users or a substantial workforce numbering in the thousands. This is precisely where identity orchestration steps in, simplifying the entire process and promoting interoperability.Strata Identity primarily collaborates with large enterprises like Kroger, 3M, and the State of Minnesota, managing identity for their customers, employees, and partners. Eric's experience running Oracle's security and identity division gave him insights into big enterprises' challenges in managing identity across multiple clouds. This led him to establish Strata Identity and develop software to address this issue.Strata Identity's pricing model is unique. Instead of charging based on the number of users, they focus on securing applications and the number of identity providers used. This allows organizations to pay for their needs, making the service more accessible and cost-effective.Key Points from the Episode:Introduction of Eric Olden, co-founder and CEO of Strata IdentityExplanation of identity orchestration as a new category of softwareImportance of identity orchestration in managing identity across multiple cloud platformsStrata Identity's focus on large enterprises and their experience in managing identity for customers, employees, and partnersUnique pricing model based on securing applications and number of identity providers usedBenefits of deploying Strata Identity's software, including cost savings and system upgrades without changing applicationsSpecialization in solving complex use cases, such as mergers and acquisitionsImportance of using standards like SAML or OpenID ConnectAbout Eric Olden:Eric Olden is a visionary technical leader known for his profound contributions to internet security and identity management.

Cloud migration and remote work requirements are forcing organizations to modernize their applications and identity systems. Making the transition is both time-consuming and expensive using traditional software development practices. By decoupling applications from identity, orchestration can alleviate the burden while allowing companies to seamlessly mix and match different cloud providers as well as MFA and passwordless technologies. In this episode, Eric Olden, Co-founder and CEO at Strata Identity sheds light on identity orchestration strategies and best practices.

So, we've created an abstraction layer that allows you to decouple the applications from the identity provider. So you can mix and match and do different things.""Identity orchestration makes sense when you have more than one identity provider.""If you find yourself trying to modernize applications and move from legacy to modern, that's another really important use case for orchestration.""The abstraction layer allows you to avoid rewriting any of the applications because, from the application standpoint, the orchestration layer presents a facade that looks exactly like the application is expecting it before orchestration came in.""We're able to bring modern security to legacy applications and do that without ever changing them.""All of these five A's -- authentication, access, authorization, attributes, and audit, need to find their way into this new distributed environment.""Today, with orchestration, you no longer need an application-specific connector because all of the patterns in the protocols that the applications need are already part of the abstraction layer in the orchestration.""I told my developers, look, if you ever find yourself typing the word password in your code, stop, you're doing it wrong. So you need to back that up and figure out why someone was trying to bring a password in the first place and give them an alternative. So that is a bit of a heavy lift at the beginning, where you need to change people's mindsets.""The world today is about self-service, and you want to have things bought and not sold."Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!

Eric Olden is the CEO of Strata Identity, an identity management company. Eric is a serial entrepreneur and visionary and has been transforming the way businesses navigate the complex world of cloud and hybrid security systems, having previously worked in a senior role at Oracle he is now leading one of the most innovative companies in the tech space. Eric joins Ryan to talk about digital identity, creating a new category in his industry and how he came to create the holy grail of identity management. KEY TAKEAWAYS Strata uses a hybrid model to sell its software by using both the cloud and data centres. You can use a product-led motion to accelerate your sales cycle, giving you the best of both worlds. Almost half of the company is in sales or go-to-market in some way, showing prioritising these areas can help build sustainable growth. Strata's software Maverick, decouples the application from identity security and allows upgrading external software without rewriting the application. The first task for Eric with Strade was to find the perfect product market fit, once this was achieved he focused his attention on how to sell the product in a repeatable way. Working at Oracle with customers who wanted to go to the cloud but had so many pain points to get to it is what gave Eric the idea for Strata. To create a new category in the industry, Eric had to first figure out if the problem is big enough. He interviewed people to assess their issues and pain points and how that would fit with the product. Strata used strong SEO and media presence to attract people to its product and then created content marketing around the use case of its product. BEST MOMENTS “It does for identity security what the m word did for compute” “It's really mission critical for some of the big enterprises because without it they're stuck, they can't move their applications to the cloud” “You don't have to convince us the cloud is where we want to be, the problem is getting there” “Marketing and product-led growth are hand in hand, the intent is that we use the marketing effort to attract people and aware of the product so they can serve themselves” “When we were doing product design we really mapped out the sales process and then made sure the experience and the product supported each thing” Do You Want The Closing Secrets That Helped Close Over $125 Million in New Business for Free?"  Grab them HERE: https://www.whalesellingsystem.com/closingsecrets Ryan Staley Founder and CEO Whale Boss 312-848-7443 ryan@whalesellingsystem.com www.ryanstaley.io  EPISODE RESOURCES Strata.io/podcast ABOUT THE SHOW How do you grow like a VC-backed company without taking on investors?

While multi-cloud brings significant benefits, it also poses serious security risks. And identity is the reason. Each cloud platform, such as Azure, Google, and AWS, uses proprietary identity systems, and the lack of interoperability makes it unruly to manage. These disparate systems can't talk to each other resulting in a fragmented environment full of identity silos — the perfect way for an attacker to get in and cause destruction. In this episode of CyberWire-X, the CyberWire's CSO, Chief Analyst, and Senior Fellow, Rick Howard, is joined in the first half by Hash Table member Rick Doten, the CISO for Healthcare Enterprises and Centene. In the second half of the show, CyberWire podcast host Dave Bittner talks with our episode sponsor Strata Identity's CEO and Co-founder Eric Olden. Both sets of discussions center around the challenges to identity management caused by the rapid shift to multi-cloud.
