Operating in multi-cloud environments can create additional complexities around how you manage both human and machine identities. In this episode, Jim Mandelbaum speaks with Strata CEO Eric Olden. They discuss leveraging identity abstraction and resource management across both native and hybrid multi-cloud environments to minimize redundancy, reduce complexity, and understand exactly who is accessing what. Then they dig into machine-based identity orchestration and the new Identity Query Language which helps create a consistent representation of identity policy in different systems.

If you’re responsible for managing and securing multi-cloud environments, this is a must listen.
