Identity After Dark.

A live podcast recording on the questions identity teams are actually arguing about — recorded after the show floor closes, in front of an invited audience.

No slides. No script. No vendor pitch. The kind of session you won't see on the main stage.

A live podcast · Identity at the Center · Sponsored by Bravura Security

Identiverse runs all day. The honest conversations happen after. After the show floor closes on Wednesday, June 17, Jim McDonald and Jeff Steadman record a live episode of Identity at the Center — a curated panel, a microphone, and an invited audience of senior identity practitioners. No slides. No script. No vendor pitch. The conversations that don't fit a 45-minute conference slot.

Three Questions on the Table The conversations the main stage won't have time for.
01 The identity stack is consolidating. Then AI showed up. Every vendor is collapsing IAM, PAM, and access governance into one platform. Now AI is pulling the floor out from under those assumptions. Does it accelerate consolidation, disrupt it, or upend the whole stack?
 
02 Non-human identities outnumber humans 50 to 1. Service accounts, machine identities, AI agents, API tokens. The numbers are exploding and most identity programs are still organized around humans. Who governs this — and who owns it when it goes wrong?
 
03 Audit time. The conversation that actually happens. Compliance reviews used to be paperwork. Now they're a stress test of every privilege decision your team has made. What's actually getting flagged — and what's the gap between what tools report and what auditors want to see?
Got a question you wish someone would actually ask? Tell us when you RSVP — we share the strongest with Jim and Jeff.
