Speakers

In this episode, we chat about wild world of ‘bursty’ businesses (yes, we said it) and the security headaches that come with unpredictable traffic spikes, whether you’re bracing for tax season, Black Friday, or a surprise sardine TikTok going viral. We explore the complex domino effect of onboarding and offboarding seasonal workers at scale, where handing out ‘keys’ now means managing thousands of access tokens and cloud permissions instead of a spare set for the back file drawer. We make the case that robust logging, behavioral analytics, and access control aren’t just nice-to-haves (they’re the difference between riding the wave and wiping out).
