At the Stevens Institute of Technology, Rita Gurevich sits down with Edward Amoroso Founder & CEO at TAG to discuss the evolution of identity security.

From identity hygiene to AI-driven non-human identities, they explore why identity intelligence is becoming the foundation of enterprise cybersecurity in 2026 and beyond.

In this episode of Smells Like Identity Hygiene, Rosario sits down with Alexis Craddock, Director of Cyber Risk and Compliance at Cox Enterprises, to explore the realities of modern identity programs. They discuss why identity must be treated as a continuous business enabler rather than a one-time project, the growing risks around privileged and AI-driven identities, and how communication, governance, and user adoption shape successful security strategies. Alexis also shares insights from her career journey and advice for the next generation of identity leaders.

Following Gartner’s recognition of Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) as an emerging category, SPHERE Founder & CEO Rita Gurevich spoke with Evie Kim Sing, Editor at Identity Week, about how enterprises are rethinking identity security and governance.

By layering IVIP over existing identity strategies, organisations can continuously optimise controls, reduce privileged access risk, improve detection, and align identity investments with evolving risk. SPHERE is advancing IVIP with AI-driven automation to scale analytics across the IDIP lifecycle.

Rosario sits down with Rita Gurevich, founder and CEO of SPHERE, to unpack key insights on identity hygiene and its role in modern cybersecurity. The conversation dives into why proactive identity management—like identifying, cleaning up, and securing digital identities is critical for reducing organizational risk, preventing breaches, and strengthening overall cyber defenses. It’s a must-listen for IT professionals and anyone curious about how maintaining strong identity hygiene can protect critical systems and data in an increasingly connected world.

Eliminate Privileged Account Blind Spots. Accelerate Least Privilege.

A PAM solution is only as effective as the accounts it protects. But most programs suffer from blind spots: unmanaged credentials, service account sprawl, and slow, manual onboarding.

SPHEREboard for CyberArk PAM automates privileged account discovery, maps ownership, and streamlines vaulting – closing the coverage gap, and enforcing least privilege at scale.

Identity is now the cybersecurity frontline. In this on-demand webinar, Rita Gurevich (Founder & CEO, SPHERE), Lennon Cruz (SVP & Global Identity & Access Management & Data Security, Northern Trust), and Ramin Safai (Chief Information Security Officer, Point72) unpack evolving identity threats and a business-aligned roadmap forward. Moderated by Jess Steinbach (ActualTech Media), the panel covers emerging risks, governance, Identity Intelligence, and operationalizing continuous identity hygiene across hybrid environments.
