Roy Akerman, CEO and Co-founder, Rezonate - AITech Interview

How can organizations better expand their visibility into their own data, identities, and access management systems to enhance their security posture?

A comprehensive view of all human and non-human identities is critical to a successful identity security program. Detailed insights into privileges, entitlements, activities and risk profiles provide context and intelligence to make decisions about access. With visibility comes continuous monitoring to identify shadow IAM, high-risk identities, and misconfigurations across cloud platforms and SaaS applications.

For security, you need this holistic view to detect and respond to identity threats as they occur – time is critical. You need a complete picture of any identity to understand the blast radius, quickly address an attack, and get to the root cause.

Also, going beyond security and looking at how you can pass audits and comply with regulations, you need to track and monitor what your users and machines have access to, what they’re doing with that access, and if it’s appropriate to their role.

How does Rezonate’s approach to identity threat detection and response (ITDR) differ from traditional methods, and what benefits does it offer?

It starts with the granular visibility we provide into the identities, privileges, entitlement, behavior, and risk profiles. This uniquely enables risk-driven actionability with proactive identification and remediation of security threats. Our platform leverages AI and advanced analytics to detect and respond to threats faster than traditional methods, outpacing attackers who exploit siloed security practices. It quickly detects and blocks attempts by internal and external malicious actors to take over user and machine identities. Our mission is to outpace the attackers, stopping threats of data exfiltration, cryptolocking, ransomware, and resource abuse before they escalate or achieve lateral movement.

How does AI contribute to identity-centric security, and what specific advancements in AI are making a difference in this field?

AI offers hope for SecOps and IAM teams to jointly navigate the intricacies of identity security. From proactive identity threat detection to adaptive identity and access security, AI is revolutionizing how organizations defend against these identity-driven attacks and manage the dynamic nature of digital identities by providing unparalleled capabilities that transcend human limitations in speed, scalability, and predictive accuracy. It’s not something that organizations can adopt overnight, but we recommend a crawl, walk, and run approach. Start using an AI assistant for identity security to help you run queries and make access recommendations. From there, you can start to automate tasks based on these queries and recommendations when you are comfortable. It’s a great way to offload overstretched teams and reduce errors made by humans who have too much ground to cover in a day.
