Future of Identity
Hosted by Mat Knutson
Identity industry interviews with vendor leaders and practitioners, complementary to Identity at the Center's two-host format.
Editorial take
Future of Identity is the right second-listen for identity practitioners who already follow Identity at the Center. Mat Knutson's interview format leans more vendor-executive and less vendor-neutral than IATC, which is the trade-off, you get clearer views into specific products and roadmaps but lose some of the cross-vendor analytical distance. Useful for tracking what specific vendors are positioning and where the industry conversation is going.

Listen if you …
- you work in identity and want vendor-leader interviews for roadmap context
- you already follow Identity at the Center and want adjacent coverage
- you're a CIAM or workforce IAM buyer evaluating specific vendors
Skip if you …
- you want strict vendor-neutral analysis, format leans interview-with-vendor
- identity isn't your professional focus, narrow topic
About the show
Future of Identity is Mat Knutson's interview show on the identity and access management industry. Episodes feature vendor executives, customer practitioners, and industry analysts discussing current trends in CIAM, workforce IAM, and non-human identity.
The format complements Identity at the Center, narrower per-episode focus, more direct vendor perspectives, useful as the second show in an identity-podcast diet.
