Ep. 342 Making Zero Trust Practical With Modern Identity Security

John Gilroy and Danelle Osworth discuss Delinea's privileged access management (PAM) solutions on the Federal Tech Podcast.

Delinea's unique selling points include delivering just-in-time access, a hybrid platform for on-premises and cloud environments, and continuous verification of identities.

During the interview, Ginelle has an insightful comment about Zero Trust and the federal government. She looks at Zero Trust as an opportunity for the government to take cybersecurity steps in the right direction. The key concept is to begin the Zero Trust journey, not necessarily where they begin.

Oswroth goes on to say that identity security is the foundation for everything in cyber. In the future, standing privilege will feel as outdated as passwords on a sticky note.

But today's threat is unyielding. This means that an identity solution must be able to continuously monitor access as well as credentials. Osworth emphasizes the importance of zero trust principles and the practical application of identity management.

Delinea's platform supports 99.995% uptime and encrypted vaulting for machine and AI identities. They highlight the need for continuous authentication and authorization to manage the influx of non-human identities.

The conversation also touches on the challenges of balancing security with innovation in the federal government.
