Art Gilliland, Delinea | theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Cyber Security Leaders

In this episode of theCUBE + NYSE Wired: Cyber Security Leaders, Art Gilliland, CEO of Delinea, joins host John Furrier to discuss the pivotal transition from traditional perimeter defense to an identity-centric approach in cybersecurity. Gilliland highlights the growing threat of identity-based attacks, where adversaries opt to "log in" using stolen credentials instead of attempting to breach systems. He elaborates on the complications introduced by the rise of machine identities fueled by AI, suggesting that effective identity management is crucial for maintaining security without hindering innovation. The conversation also covers Delinea's recent acquisition of StrongDM, which enhances their strategy of managing both human and machine identities while ensuring robust IT governance and developer workflows.
