Reinventing Identity and Access Management Based on Mathematical Principles from the Stars with Jonathan Nystrom
April 16, 2020 | The Walden Pond
Jonathan Nystrom is the CEO of Intensity Analytics, and this week’s guest. He joins Vince Walden to talk about his company’s program, TickStream, which uses astronomical principles to protect virtual identity. Identity is the bedrock on which virtually everything in our world operates, Jonathan says. It affects every facet of a company, and while the IT department plays a big role, it is management’s job to establish it. How we protect identity today is a conglomeration of rules that our adversaries will learn to break if we continue to do things the same way.
