THE INTRO
So, rumor has it….you want to take down identity and access management, huh? The old IAM? I mean, it makes sense. Every CISO and their mother wants to go after that mark and plenty have tried for good reason.
Rumor has it that locked away in that vault is the promised land of security, flowing with reduced operational costs, improved user productivity risk mitigation. Who wouldn’t want to be the one to take that down, right?
But here’s the issue, friend—can I call you friend? We’re friends, right? We’re not? Come on you’re breaking my heart here. Fine, fine, fine, fine. We’ll be friends when the job is done I can promise you that.
Anyway, this ain’t a one person job. You think you’re gonna do this alone? No, no, you got that all wrong. You walk into that boardroom and you tell them you’re gonna take down IAM all on your little lonesome? It’s gonna go one of two ways. Either they’ll laugh you out of the building, or they’ll give you the okay and you’ll come crawling back, hat in hand, trying to explain why things went wrong. And then they’re gonna laugh you out of the building. That’s a one way ticket to polishing your resume. Trust me, you do not want to try to do this on your own.
No, you’re gonna need a crew. And lucky you, you came to the right guy, because buddy–what, “buddy” is still too close? Fine–because I know all the right people.
What? No, no, not like actual people. I’m not just gonna open up my little black book and do all the work for you. No, no. I’m just gonna tell you the kind of people that you need on your crew…goin’ and gettin’ them? That’s on you.
I mean, honestly, it’s better that way. You need people that you trust, not the people I trust, right? You pick ‘em…you get the idea. Once you get your team together, you come back here and we’ll talk about how to actually do this thing. Sound good, frie–Wait, wait hold on. So, “friend” is out? And you’re sure “buddy” is still too close? Alright, fine fine fine. Hold on, let me think. Friend… Buddy… uhhhh…Partner! Partner, yeah, partner. How’s that sound? Partner? Yeah, that’s good? Okay, alright. You take this folder, you find your crew. When you come back here we’ll talk about how to take this thing down. Together.
