EP166 Workload Identity, Zero Trust and SPIFFE (Also Turtles!)
Topics covered:
- Today we have IAM, zero trust and security made easy. With that intro, could you give us the 30 second version of what a workload identity is and why people need them?
- What’s so spiffy about SPIFFE anyway?
- What’s different between this and micro segmentation of your network–why is one better or worse?
- You call your book “solving the bottom turtle” could you tell us what that means?
- What are the challenges you’re seeing large organizations run into when adopting this approach at scale?
- Of all the things a CISO could prioritize, why should this one get added to the list? What makes this, which is so core to our internal security model–ripe for the outside world?
- How people do it now, what gets thrown away when you deploy SPIFFE? Are there alternative?
- SPIFFE is interesting, yet can a startup really “solve for the bottom turtle”?
