Hey Jedi welcome to the 35th edition of the Identity Jedi Newsletter. I went simple with the graphic this week, but it’s cute, right?
We are off to a blistering start in the month of May, as we’ve put in 42 new subscribers in the last 10 days! We are on pace to smash the record for most subs in a month.
Shout out to Chris, who is the MVP of referrals. He is single-handedly making me have to rethink the swag tier. 😀 Your support is appreciated, sir!
Jedi, it’s not too late to catch him. Grab your referral link, and send it to some friends, I want to see you wearing an Identity Jedi Shirt at Identiverse!!

Seeking maturity in Identity Security
A nice overview of the steps needed to start to asses your organization’s maturity when it comes to Identity Security. Spoiler alert: It’s more than just access reviews and automated provisioning. Those were always meant to be a start; the end goal was always to have a more active security environment that allowed your organization to reduce the risk associated with access.
PrivateGPT
So I’m beginning to think the trend for the next two years will be to put AI, and GPT behind everything. But sarcasm aside, an interesting byproduct of ChaptGPT, PrivateGPT is a tool geared towards redacting PII data from ChatGPT prompts because as we’ve all seen over the past three decades, you give a user a text box, and they will tell you everything.
Google announces Passkeys
Google has announced that it will implement passkeys for users, allowing them to use biometric authentication to access their Google accounts without requiring a username, password, or multi-factor authentication. Passkeys are private cryptographic keys based on the FIDO Alliance FIDO2 specification, which implements the World Wide Web Consortium's Webauthn standard. The FIDO Alliance released a report showing end-users are more open to using passkeys than last fall. Companies such as 1Password, Dashlane, and Okta are all active board members and contributors to the FIDO Alliance.

The Last Word
As the days inch closer to Identiverse, I’m excited to see what this year brings regarding conversations. What’s on the top of everyone's mind? How much of the conversation will be around AI, ChatGPT, and Web3? What’s the temperature of organizations as they try and forecast this rollercoaster economy, and we see massive layoffs in the sector?
SO MANY QUESTIONS !!
I’m also excited to be around the community, catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and hang out with you! Who knows, maybe one day we’ll have our own event.
You never know.. Until then

Web 3 and Identity
It’s been an interesting couple of months researching and putting this talk together for RSA. One of the things I enjoy about putting together presentations is the research I get to do beforehand. What can I say, I was that nerd that LOVED whenever we got research assignments in school.
