• Verifying Identity with Incode Technologies

  All links and images can be found on CISO Series. Traditional identity systems authenticate credentials and devices, but they can't verify who's actually behind them. Attackers use AI-generated IDs and deepfake videos to pass background checks, then clone voices to reset MFAs at the help desk. Identity has become the primary attack surface, and existing IAM platforms still trust the human layer far too easily. In this episode, Fernanda Sottil, Senior Director of Strategy at Incode Technologies, explains how their solution adds a real-world identity layer that integrates seamlessly with existing IAM systems. Joining her are Nick Espinosa, host of the Deep Dive radio show and Bozidar Spirovski, CISO at Blue Dot. Questions answered on the show: How does Incode comply with GDPR when training AI models on employee facial data? What happens when legitimate users get blocked, especially job candidates? How does Incode maintain accuracy across 4,600 document types in 200 countries? Can organizations see error rates and override the system when needed? How quickly can Incode patch new attack vectors as adversarial threats evolve? Huge thanks to our sponsor, Incode Technologies Incode Workforce helps enterprises stop deepfakes, prevent fraud, and secure every identity moment. By matching an ID to a selfie with AI-powered biometrics, Incode confirms the real person behind each IAM interaction, safeguarding onboarding, access, and recovery with frictionless verification that ensures workforce security and trust at scale.

• Securing Application Delivery with Island

  All links and images can be found on CISO Series. Modern application security has become a tangled mess of VPNs, proxies, DLP, CASBs, and remote browser tools—all creating friction for users and security teams alike. The root issue? Browsers were built for consumers, not enterprise security, forcing organizations to pile on complexity that undermines both protection and performance. In this episode, Braden Rogers, chief customer officer at Island, explains how their enterprise browser platform rethinks application delivery by building security services natively into the browsing experience. Joining him are Nick Ryan, former CISO, and Janet Heins, CISO at ChenMed. Want to know: How do you explain this approach to your CEO in plain English? What's the real architecture difference between enterprise browsers and traditional VDI? How do you deploy a new browser to 20,000 users without change management chaos? What happens to your existing security stack when you add an enterprise browser? Can users access personal apps while keeping corporate data protected? What's the offline experience when cloud services fail? How does this handle the surge of AI tools in your organization? What's the difference between browser enforcement and a full enterprise browser? How do you apply different security controls without overwhelming users? What does vendor support actually look like from pilot to production? Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, Island   What if you no longer had to bolt agents, proxies, and gateways onto browsers?

• Securing Your Attack Path with SpecterOps

  All links and images can be found on CISO Series. Identity has become the Gordian knot of cybersecurity. Threat actors no longer need to break in. They log in. As organizations manage increasingly complex ecosystems spanning cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, the challenge isn't just understanding who has access to what. It's about understanding how an attacker could chain together seemingly innocent permissions to escalate from an initially compromised user to full environment control. The problem is compounded by privilege creep, where employees accumulate access over time as roles change and exceptions pile up without systematic review. Traditional security tools excel at protecting identities at rest or governing access for individual users. Still, they often miss the needle in the haystack: the cascading attack paths that adversaries actively exploit. In this episode, Justin Kohler, chief product officer at SpecterOps, explains how Bloodhound Enterprise addresses these challenges by proactively uncovering and eliminating attack paths before adversaries can exploit them, transforming abstract permissions into visual maps that show precisely how attackers could move through your environment. Joining him are Angela Williams, SVP and CISO at UL Solutions, and Brett Conlon, CISO at American Century Investments. Want to know: Why does identity security remain such a persistent challenge for organizations? What attack path management actually does versus traditional identity governance tools? How does Bloodhound Enterprise complement other solutions in your stack? How to visualize and prioritize the attack paths that matter most? What emerging identity-based threats should CISOs prioritize over the next 12 months? How has the definition of "identity" evolved beyond just human users? Can continuous attack path mapping keep pace with dynamic cloud environments? Huge thanks to our sponsor, SpecterOps SpecterOps' 2025 State of Attack Path Management report reveals how technical debt transforms into identity risk and provides actionable strategies for security teams. Drawing insights from the creators of BloodHound, this report outlines proven methods for strengthening identity directory security to prevent costly breaches.
