The Identity Blueprint
Enterprise identity and access management isn't a product you buy — it's a program you build. The Identity Blueprint covers the full spectrum: seven-phase IAM frameworks, zero trust architecture, JIT access, FIDO2 passkeys, identity governance, and the operational models that hold up at enterprise scale. Built for practitioners who are past the basics. Hosted by Ernie and Josée.
