Manage episode 417971057 series 3201233
In this episode of Identity at the Center, hosts Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman delve into the intricate world of authorization within the IAM space with Omri Gazit, co-founder and CEO of Asserto, and co-chair of the AuthZEN working group at the OpenID Foundation. They tackle the evolution of authorization, from the days of basic role-based access control to the current landscape of fine-grained authorization, including policy and relationship-based access control models.
Omri shares his insights on the importance of standards in authorization, the role of developers in adopting these standards, and the journey towards a single authorization control plane for multiple applications. He also discusses the challenges organizations face with over-provisioned access and the potential of AI in enhancing authorization decisions.
Listeners will also get a personal glimpse into Omri's life outside of IAM, learning about his passion for kung fu and how the discipline and journey of martial arts have influenced his professional ethos. Tune in for a comprehensive discussion on the future of authorization and the steps IAM practitioners can take to evolve their organization's approach to this critical aspect of identity security.
