Twenty identity tools, a $3M IGA on top. Still broken. Twine Security Co-Founder Justin Woody knows the pattern well. He spent six years at Claroty, first as Director of Innovation and then as Senior Director of Strategy and Research, while the company grew from a two-year-old startup to $100M ARR. The whole time, he heard the same feedback: great dashboard, but we don’t have the people to do the work.
His answer wasn’t another tool. He co-founded Twine Security, which builds AI Digital Employees for cybersecurity teams. The first is Alex, who works on identity and access management (IAM). In Season 6, Episode 5 of ‘On Security’, Justin explains why no one will ever hire enough people to clear the backlog. He also breaks down what makes an AI digital employee different from an AI agent and when an AI should be allowed to act without asking.
