On this episode, co-founder and CEO of Cerby, Belsasar Lepe, joins Matt to talk about unmanageable applications (apps that don't support critical security standards like SSO and SCIM). Belsasar was previously the Head of Product at Impira, where he led the company's product life cycle, helping drive a 4x increase in revenue. Before his role at Impira, Bel was co-founder and CTO at Ooyala, where he led a global product, design, and engineering team of 300+ Ooyalans spanning five countries and seven offices. Ooyala achieved two successful exits totaling over $440M.

Belsasar talks about unmanageable applications, Shadow IT, and why password managers should be considered legacy tech.
