The Identity Defined Security Alliance (IDSA), a nonprofit that provides vendor-neutral education and resources to help organizations reduce the risk of a breach by combining identity and security strategies, announced that Bernard Diwakar, chief enterprise security architect for Intuit, has joined its Customer Advisory Board (CAB). Diwakar will provide user perspective and guidance on the vision, mission, and work of the IDSA. In addition, vArmour and Venafi have also become members of the IDSA.

“Identity Defined Security provides real time, intelligence-based access to data and applications by integrating Identity and Access Management (IAM) infrastructure with enterprise cyber security technologies, and is a critical component to reducing cyber risk,” said Diwakar. “After spending decades in the IAM space, I look forward to working with the IDSA to further develop best practices and educate other organizations on identity-centric approaches to security.”
