Thanks to the rise of cloud computing, outsourcing and increasingly mobile workforces, the network perimeter no longer serves as the sole, viable cornerstone of an organization's cybersecurity. Instead, identity has become one of the leading mechanisms for ensuring that organizations allow only the right people to connect to the right technologies at the right time, says Okta's Clare Cunniffe.

In a video interview at Information Security Media Group's recent Cybersecurity Summit in New York, Cunniffe also discusses:

Why identity remains central to an organization’s cybersecurity strategy;
IT modernization trends;
Workforce and customer digital experience essentials.

Cunniffe is a senior area named sales director at Okta. She previously worked in a variety of roles at Protegrity, Informatica, Iona Technologies and CA.
