This is identity at the center. Welcome everybody to Identis Wobble yes, thank you very much. Feel free to cheer, applaud. You know all that's going on in my head. Appreciate that. So this is the game show that is all about identity and access management and what the I AM community has been thinking about for the last couple of weeks. I guess as I sent this out, hi Dank, this is Jeff Stebbin. I'm the host of the Identity of the Center podcast. Also do consulting with RSM.
So shameless plug, IDC podcast.com. If you're taking pictures, I see you right there. Feel free to send them to me. Go to the website and just drop me because I can put something together. This is going to end up hopefully being an episode if it doesn't suck. So let's try to make it good. I have cameras kind of all over the place. We have a couple teams that are going to come up here in a second. I want to let people know how
this is going to work. So it's very similar to Family Feud, but for legal purposes we are called Identis Waddle, so no feud in the term. We're going to be judged by the team up from RSM. So we've got Chad Wolcott from RSM and then a guest judge, Audrey Bregman from Hub International. So give them a round of applause. They are impartial judges and so that's how this is going to work. I'm going to introduce our teams here in a second.
So let's meet the first team. We've got team ID pro so let's get Heather and her team out here all right Heather, so welcome to the first icon this file. I see you all have hats, so let's figure out what's going on here. But first one, we're doing a quick introduction all. Right Heather Flanagan, the hat that I'm wearing right now is the executive director of ID Pro. And Tina?
Hi everyone, I'm Tina, I'm Co founder of Badge Inc and board member of ID Pro and maybe a little bit later today a particular rapper that you may know. You've put a lot. So I want to poser that you've put a lot of into this rap because other people have asked me if I I said, well, maybe we'll get something called maybe we'll have like a special skills section later. So we'll see. MM Kaiser stratageen standards at cell point. I will not be rappel.
Thank you for that. Appreciate that or so. You think? All right, let's get the teams over here. It's not over for find me. Let's get our next team. We've got my Co host Jim McDonald from team Idec. He's got this team here coming on. Jim spent a lot of time putting together that team outfit there looks like. Hey, stickers. All right, so quick introduction, Jeff, Jim McDonald goes identity of disaster
itself. All right, gentlemen, David Mahdi, chief identity officer for Transmit Security, and I'm Steven Rennick and I'm the IAM architect for Siena. All right, so any special skills because we have a rapper in the other side, I'm going to take that as a no. OK, let's come on over here. I'm going to explain the rules in the team or to the teams. The way this is going to work is we surveyed hundreds of people from IT Pro and also from my
LinkedIn network. So if you're here and you've submitted an answer to that form that I sent out, thank you so much. Do not blame me for your the answers you're going to see here. These are all your answers collectively's community. So just be aware of that. We're going to have each of the teams try to guess the top answers on the board. Again, very similar to another game show you may have heard.
If a team gets three strikes, they're going to be out and the other team is going to be able to try and steal it. So again, very familiar hopefully, and you guys can help. So feel free to yell out if you think you've got a good answer. If the, you know, the teams turn to you for guidance and help, feel free to get into that. And then whoever's got the most points at the end is going to win valuable prizes, so we'll announce that later on. OK, Team ID Pro, are you guys ready?
No, if you are ready, Sir. IDAC, Are you ready? Yeah. OK, crowd, Are you ready? All right, let's have a McDonough squabble. All right, give me Jim. Give me Heather. We're going to start this off real quick at the first question. All right? Amazing sound effects. We've got the top five answers on the board. Name a common reason for IAM project failure. OK, Heather was first ID pro. What do you got? Under resourced. Under resourced is under resourced on the list our judges
are contemplating. They say no, no, OK, too much too soon, too much too soon. So maybe something with inappropriate timelines scoping? I'm not sure. No. OK, we're going to go down the line. So let's see Tina, you're next and you could try and steal. Come on over here, be shy. Name a common reason for I am project failure.
Technical debt. Technical debt judge it seem like they're going to award something here all right complex integration all right so you guys want to play or do you want to pass it to the other team here pass or play we can we. Can pass a little bit, make the man so. We've got a player we're going to play All right, OK, so like guys are coming up here. Wow. This is give me a common reason for I am project failure 1 / 15. Let's get everyone up here. Just wait.
We have a smooth in here and a common reason for I am project failure, Mike, Vendor vendors. The vendors are a major problem as we say this in an Expo hall with a whole bunch of vendors here. So thanks for that. OK, no, all right. So that's another strike, Heather. Executive. Buy in executive, buy in. OK, this one, I'm pretty sure you have to be out there. Yep #1 on the board. OK, so good answer. Tina, you're next name upon a reason for eyeing fighting failure.
Helping anytime. Now, oh, Heather's already waiting for help from the crowd. Permits gathering. Oh, that's. Poor requirements. Gathering your requirements, gathering. All right, that's on the list. What's next? What's next? There's probably that's all the scrubbery. Can't solve all use cases, can't solve all the use cases. So maybe oversold under the liver or something like that. No2 strikes. OK, So the pressure is on you Heather. If we do not get this right, Team IVC is going to get a
chance to steal. So give me a common reason for I am project failure. Am I hearing budget? Ajit, I hear budget that's on the list. All right, so now the pressure's. Getting these right with Celebrate. Pressure's acting. I've got one for two for two. What do you got? What do you got? Budget's got something that's cute enough we can't hear. You hear the fries much? Schedule overruns. Schedule overrides, judges. No. OK, Team IDC, you've got a chance to steal here.
You're puddling up trying to figure out what you're going to go with. And David is assuming control. I'm assuming control. You are. Or name a common reason for IM project failure, lack of business, 11 business alignments. Because that on the list is #5 if you get it, you steal the points. It is OK. So Team IDC gets those points in the round and away we are. Wait. So OK, so let's go next. So I think Dave, if you were next, you're on this side over here and then Tina, you're over here.
All right, so we're going to get to the next question here. All right. Now, since we're in the non human area, we're going to have a non human question. Name a type of non human identity in identity and access management. OK, Tina, quick on the draw. Agentic AI. Agentic AI, is that on the list? Survey says judges contemplating thinking. All right. Ascension AI preparing to take over, right? OK, I think that probably qualifies for it. You guys want to pass or play?
We got a chance to get higher, right? Yeah, we're going to play. Right. These guys are mining the rules, right? You guys have a chance to get a higher answer. So if they have a higher answer, those say, David, you've got a choice name, A tag of non human identity, workload identity, workload identity pretty straightforward workload identity this is deciding it's. On there it's. Not no, Nope. When you get the judges, they're just trying to decipher is this some sort of like service
accounts? No. OK, All right, so you guys are going to pass or fight, Not workload eyes team. Forget all the fight. OK, this is all right. Kaiser, you're up next, give me a type of non human identity. You need to come over here at the migrants over there who needs workloads anyway and feel free audience right, so type of non human identities if you saw the Google for over the last couple weeks, service accounts, service accounts. OK, that seems pretty simple.
There we go Yep #1 all right Heather, you're up. Name a type of non human identity. Butter's thinking. Or maybe she's about to see something inappropriate get us all in trouble. Robots. Robots, OK #3 Tina, you're up again. Are you a type of non human identity? I'm thinking we should probably had Hutch on the show because he's on, Yeah. Hutch. He's a ringer. Tina, give me another non human identity. Can't hear you think from the crowd. You got to speak up. IAM.
Roll, IAM. Roll. That's from the crowd. Is that on the list? No. OK, sorry. All that effort. We got nothing for it. I want the weirdest answer. Weirdest answer. Machine. Speak up. Yell it out. Machine. I hear local accounts, local accounts as a machine identity as a non human identity. Is that on the list? No, OK. OK, I'm going to have to go with this one for my own entertainment value, but it also shares my theme, my mom. Is your mom on the list all right? No, unfortunately not.
All right, Team IDSC. You've got a chance to steal here, so you guys need to give me a chance. Give me a give me a non human identity type. Feel free to come over here into the camera freight. I know that this is our first time doing the podcast, so come on. Machine accounts, machine accounts. All right, is that on the list? Machine accounts? No, all right, so ID pro wins the points. So we'll have them be the winner. So they get to catch up here a
little bit. Let's see what number 5 was on the list. Container identities. Good boy. Do we not know what we're working with? Sounds sounds a little bit. There's a lot of controversy over here would be thanks. I doubt for identity, but #4 an IoT device could be OK and #2 an API key here. OK, early standard answers at the. All right, let's see who's next. You've got Mr. Kaiser. Oh, boy, versus Mr. Rennick. All right, got the next round here.
Set up the next question. Let's see how we're doing. OK, this is annoying. So now we're going to get into the Vegas part of this because we have to have some fun. Smell almonds, right? Name a snack you might see at a Las Vegas conference Expo hall I. Think he got this? There we go. OK, I'm pretty sure I saw that, so we'll just got that. Name a snack, Steve. Cookies. Cookies.

So another snack, David. 2 strikes. Another one strike then ID Pro is going to have a chance to steal. Rusher is on the rusher is on any other from the car. We got a hand raised very polite, yell it out loud. Finger eats pasta. That's an interesting snack. You might see just people just just go and grab things that you got to eat versus wine on sandwiches. We're going to go with sandwiches. Sandwiches. OK, I heard sandwiches. Sandwiches on the list.
OK, all right, so we've got a chance now for Heather. It has ID Pro to make a steal here. So, Heather, name a snack you might see at a Las Vegas conference Expo hall. Pretzels. Pretzels, that's a great answer. Let's see, Is that on the list? Pretzels Judges survey says I'm thinking trail mix for Anola. close enough, I guess. OK, all right, so you guys win, you guys steal the points. Let's see what that does for points. So now you've taken a quick lead. Let's see what number six was on
a snack. You might see at a loss against conference Jim McDonald. I mean, come on, guys, really a total stack, right? All right, let's see #2 coffee, tea, drinks. OK.
