Why Identity Security Needs Its Own Program with Angie Klein, IAM Business Technology Manager at Federated Insurance

Episode notes

This episode features Angie Klein, IAM Business Technology Manager at Federated Insurance. Angie brings over a decade of experience spanning systems development and identity security leadership, holding CISSP, CIDPRO, and CISM certifications and working hands-on with CyberArk, SailPoint IDN, and Active Directory in a regulated environment. In this episode, Angie dives into the organizational and cultural work that most identity programs skip. She shares why identity deserves its own program, how to apply OCM to bring resistant stakeholders on board, and why governance must come first. Angie's core argument is that if identity security creates too much friction, people will route around it, and that's where the real risk lives. This episode makes the case that the hardest part of identity security isn't the technology, it's getting people to trust it enough to stop working around it. Guest Bio As the IAM Business Technology Manager at Federated Insurance, Angie is dedicated to advancing our Identity and Access Management program and the industry as a whole.
