This episode features Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth, joined by co-host Sarah Cicchetti, Director of Product Management at Semperis.Geoffrey has spent decades building and leading companies at the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, including MistNet.ai, an AI-native threat detection platform acquired by LogRhythm, and Xage Security, where he drove zero trust adoption across the U.S. military, global energy firms, and Fortune 500 enterprises. At SecureAuth, he leads a platform built around continuous, real-time identity authority across workforces, APIs, and AI agents.In this episode, Geoffrey argues that agents combine the speed of automation with the unpredictability of humans, making real-time per-action authorization the only viable control model. He discusses why “friendly fire” from well-meaning employees is the biggest threat vector right now, how MCP vendors are ignoring their own OAuth spec, and what a practical agent rollout with real guardrails actually looks like.This episode reframes authorization as the problem the identity industry has been deferring for years and can no longer avoid.Guest Bio Geoffrey Mattson is a serial entrepreneur and globally recognized cybersecurity and AI executive with decades of experience building market-defining companies and technologies that protect the world's most critical systems.He is currently CEO of SecureAuth, a leader in AI-driven identity and access management with its Continuous Authority, ensuring ongoing verification across workforces, customers, APIs, and AI agents. This is enabled through its Private Authority Platform, which puts authentication and authorization under your control through any deployment model (cloud, on prem, hybrid, air-gapped).Prior to SecureAuth, Mattson served as CEO of Xage Security, where he led the company in Zero Trust for critical environments from energy to agentic AI. Under his leadership, Xage achieved rapid adoption across the U.S. military, global energy firms, and Fortune 500 enterprises.Previously, Geoffrey Mattson was co-founder and CEO of MistNet.ai, an AI-native threat detection platform acquired by LogRhythm. He pioneered decentralized analytics and machine learning approaches for real-time cyber defense, and later served as SVP of Product at LogRhythm, driving global expansion and shaping the next generation of SIEM/SOAR solutions.Earlier, he held senior executive roles at Juniper Networks, overseeing a $2B product portfolio and leading major M&A efforts, and at Huawei Technologies as SVP and CTO for networking and data center platforms. His engineering leadership at Corona Networks, Caspian, and Bay Networks helped build foundational technologies in network and security architecture.Guest Quote “With agents, you have the power and the speed of an automated process with the unpredictability of a human. And in fact, we are seeing their behavior and their psychology makes them even perhaps less predictable than a human.”Time stamps 01:45 Meet Geoffrey Mattson: Serial Entrepreneur and Cybersecurity Executive 02:40 Why Identity Is Having a Moment 08:40 Defining Agent Identity 12:15 Behavioral Guardrails for Agents 14:37 Agent Identity Lifecycle 17:36 Just-in-Time vs. Standing Privilege 18:02 C-Suite Pressure and Friendly Fires 21:00 When Agents Live Off the Land 26:12 MCP, OAuth, and Token Pitfalls 28:04 Threat Models and Rollout Strategy 30:13 LLMs and Policy Authoring 31:23 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsSponsor The HIP Podcast is brought to you by Semperis, the leader in identity-driven cyber resilience for the hybrid enterprise.

This episode features Angie Klein, IAM Business Technology Manager at Federated Insurance.Angie brings over a decade of experience spanning systems development and identity security leadership, holding CISSP, CIDPRO, and CISM certifications and working hands-on with CyberArk, SailPoint IDN, and Active Directory in a regulated environment.In this episode, Angie dives into the organizational and cultural work that most identity programs skip. She shares why identity deserves its own program, how to apply OCM to bring resistant stakeholders on board, and why governance must come first. Angie's core argument is that if identity security creates too much friction, people will route around it, and that's where the real risk lives.This episode makes the case that the hardest part of identity security isn't the technology, it's getting people to trust it enough to stop working around it.Guest Bio As the IAM Business Technology Manager at Federated Insurance, Angie is dedicated to advancing our Identity and Access Management program and the industry as a whole. With over 10 years of experience and currently leading a team of Security Engineers and Identity and Access Analysts, Angie is passionate about IAM and love to see "ah ha" moments when colleagues understand that security is everyone's job.Angie bring over a decade of experience as a Systems Developer, providing extensive technical expertise in the Identity Security domain.

This episode features Cliff Fisher, Senior Solutions Architect at Semperis and former Senior Technical Program Manager on Microsoft's Active Directory product group.With over a decade spent inside Microsoft supporting enterprise customers and helping guide Active Directory's security and roadmap, Cliff brings a rare insider perspective on what's actually happening behind the scenes of one of the world's most widely deployed identity platforms.In this episode, Cliff tackles the question many organizations are still asking: Is Active Directory really going away? He explains why the shift to cloud identity has moved far slower than expected, shares polling data that confirms hybrid environments are here for the long term, and breaks down how Microsoft is still investing in AD through security hardening, supportability improvements, and features like Windows LAPS.This episode offers a clearer look at why Active Directory remains central to enterprise identity and what defenders need to prepare for as hybrid becomes the default reality.Guest Bio With nearly 20 years of Active Directory experience across varied roles in system administration, support, debugging, and program management, Cliff spent over a decade at Microsoft supporting Premier and Unified customers and, most recently, managing the releases of Windows LAPS, new features for Server 2025, and monthly security and quality updates. In January of 2026, he joined Semperis, bringing his unique blend of skills, perspectives, and passion to their stacked roster of established identity experts.Guest Quote  “The easiest way to get everyone secure is to get people all to the cloud.

Principal Security Consultant and community favorite Jake Hildreth returns to The PowerShell Podcast to talk about building smarter automation, leveling up through community, and creating tools that solve real problems. Andrew shares his “stop trying so hard” theme for the year, how working smarter applies directly to scripting and security, and why getting involved with others is one of the fastest ways to grow in your career. The conversation dives into Jake's recent projects including Deck, a Markdown-to-terminal presentation tool built on Spectre.Console, and Stepper, a resumable scripting framework designed for long-running workflows that can't be fully automated end-to-end. They also explore presentation skills, avoiding “death by PowerPoint,” and why security work requires constantly re-checking assumptions as threats evolve.   Key Takeaways: • Work smarter, not harder — Whether you're scripting or building a career, small sustainable improvements beat grinding yourself into a corner. • Resumable automation is a game changer — Stepper helps scripts safely pause and resume, making real-world workflows more reliable when humans or flaky APIs are part of the loop. • Community turns into real momentum — Contributing, asking questions, and sharing feedback builds skills, friendships, and opportunities faster than trying to learn alone.   Guest Bio: Jake Hildreth is a Principal Security Consultant at Semperis, Microsoft MVP, and longtime builder of tools that make identity security suck a little less. With nearly 25 years in IT (and the battle scars to prove it), he specializes in helping orgs secure Active Directory and survive the baroque disaster that is Active Directory Certificate Services. He's the creator of Locksmith, Stepper, Deck, BlueTuxedo, and PowerPUG!, open-source tools built to make life easier for overworked identity admins. When he's not untangling Kerberos or wrangling DNS, he's usually hanging out with his favorite people and most grounding reality check: his wife and daughter.   Resource Links: • Jake Hildreth's Website – https://jakehildreth.com • Jake's GitHub - https://github.com/jakehildreth Andrew's Links - https://andrewpla.tech/links • PowerShell Spectre Console – https://pwshspectreconsole.com/ • PDQ Discord – https://discord.gg/PDQ • PowerShell Conference Europe – https://psconf.eu • PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit – https://powershellsummit.org • Jake's PowerShell Wednesday – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdV6Qecn9v0 The PowerShell Podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rFeoTKLerkA

This week, we are joined by Eric Woodruff, Chief Identity Architect at Semperis, discussing "nOAuth Abuse Alert: Full Account Takeover of Entra Cross-Tenant SaaS Applications". Semperis researchers identified a critical authentication flaw known as nOAuth in 9 out of 104 tested SaaS applications integrated with Microsoft Entra ID. This low-complexity but severe vulnerability allows attackers with just a user's email address and access to an Entra tenant to impersonate users, exfiltrate data, and move laterally within affected apps—with no viable defense or detection available to customers. The findings spotlight ongoing risks tied to improper use of email claims in authentication and emphasize the urgent need for SaaS vendors to adopt secure OpenID Connect practices and remediate vulnerable applications.

Segment 1 - Enterprise Security News, Live at IDV This week, in the enterprise security news, Acquisitions potential IPOs Terminator Salvation in real life First $1B one-employee business? Mikko puts in his notice Pitch Black in real life, and more! Segment 2 - Interview with Dr. Tina Srivastava The #1 cause of data breaches is stolen credentials. What if we didn't store credentials anymore? We explore Badge's innovative approach—which enables users to generate a private key on the fly instead of storing credentials—to enhance security, solve key use cases such as shared devices, and deliver measurable ROI. Additionally, we'll uncover the unavoidable recovery flow challenges, where users must rely on a pre-enrolled recovery device or fallback passwords, and discuss what this means for enterprise security and cost savings. By shifting the paradigm toward ephemeral key generation, Badge eliminates stored credentials, optimizes enterprise cost savings, and future-proofs authentication. Segment Resources: Mission-Driven Identity Innovation with Dr. Tina Srivastava Authenticate 2024 - Data Privacy & Accessibility with Tina Srivastava Lecture 2: Airplane Aerodynamics CyberArk/Badge Joint Solution Brief Badge Integration With Cisco Duo Delivers Unique, Hardware-less MFA Experience Passwordless Authentication without Secrets!
