In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner sits down with Matt Barker, CyberArk’s VP and Global Head of Workload Identity Architecture, for a deep dive into the exploding world of machine identities and the urgent need to rethink how to secure them. From his journey co-founding Jetstack and creating Cert Manager to leading CyberArk’s efforts in workload identity, Matt shares insights on why secrets-based security is no longer sustainable—and how open standards like SPIFFE are reshaping the future of cloud-native and AI-driven environments.

With every organization vying to automate away their cybersecurity problems, it’s easy to allow the machine identities taking on formerly manual tasks to become entryways for threat actors. Learn the must-haves for securing the non-human identities streamlining your organization with One Identity sales engineer Rob Kraczek.
