#37 - Identity Categorization Done Right

In this episode we explore together the “uncanny valley” of identity categorization, where taxonomy looks mature on paper but doesn’t meaningfully change controls in practice.We talk about Taxonomic Debt and control plane behind them. From service accounts and workload identities to bots, technical users, and AI agents, we argues that the real unit ofgovernance is not the label, it’s the behavior: interactive ornon-interactive, ephemeral or persistent, privileged or not.If your IAM program has ever felt like governance theater, this episode will help you see why.You’ll walk away with a clearer way to categorize identities by how they behave, how they’re secured, and how the system should react when they drift from expectations.Thank you for listeningLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohit-agnihotriEmail: [email protected]
