92: The Real Problem Isn't Deepfakes. It's Identity (with Jasson Casey)

About this episode

Jasson Casey discusses the importance of identity in security and the future of passwordless systems.

You can have perfect infrastructure—and still be talking to the wrong person. In this episode, Jasson Casey (Beyond Identity) breaks down why identity—not infrastructure—is the real security boundary, how passwords created today’s vulnerabilities, and what a future without “moving secrets” looks like. If you’re building or scaling a company, this is a shift you can’t ignore. Listen now.
