RSAC 2024: AI and Its Impact on Identity & Security Policies

David Bradbury, chief security officer for Okta, joins Dark Reading's Terry Sweeney at News Desk during the RSA Conference to discuss how identity has come to shape security policy, especially with AI’s momentum and how it’s reshaped the threat landscape. He shares lessons learned from Okta’s own data breach that exposed its own customers’ identities. Bradbury defines what Okta calls “post-authentication,” and what that means for identity management. And he talks about how customers can better protect themselves in the face of new, dangerous threats.
