I still remember a recent conversation with a security leader who told me: “We’ve secured our workforce pretty well… but our customers, partners, and external users? That’s where things get messy.” This really stayed with me, because it reflects what I see more and more. Namely it's: • not a lack of tools • not a lack of investment. • but a growing gap between identity strategy and reality. Over the past years, my role has evolved. Today, I work across the full identity landscape. > Customer identity. > Workforce access. > Authentication methods. > And the devices behind it. What changed for me is that Identity is no longer one problem. It’s a system of interconnected challenges. • Customers expect simple, seamless experiences • Employees need secure and fast access to critical systems • Partners require controlled, delegated access • And attackers target identity as the easiest entry point Trying to solve these in isolation doesn’t work anymore. What drives me today is helping organizations connect these dots: • securing access without slowing people down • reducing complexity instead of adding more layers • making identity scalable across customers, workforce, and partners • and turning identity into something the business actually understands and supports In my work across industries like healthcare, and critical infrastructure, I see that Identity is often everywhere but rarely owned end-to-end. This is where things start to break. It's not so much because people don’t care, more because identity grew faster than the structure around it. This is also why I started sharing more of my thoughts and observations. Not as someone who has it all figured out. But as someone who spends every day in conversations with people facing these challenges. If you’re thinking about: • how to connect CIAM and workforce identity • how to introduce phishing-resistant authentication in a practical way • how to handle complex B2B and partner access • or how to reduce identity complexity instead of increasing it Then we’ll likely have a good conversation. And if you’re curious to follow along, I share my learnings regularly under #ginosciaminsights
