Risky Biz Soap Box: Run your own open source IDP with Authentik
Show notes
In this SoapBox edition of the show Patrick Gray chats to Fletcher Heisler, the CEO of open-source identity provider Authentik. The whole idea of Authentik is you can take control of an essential IT and security function: identity. Because Authentik is open source it’s extremely flexible, and if you’re running it yourself, you get to decide where your IDP should sit in your architecture. You can run it on prem if you’re an emergency call centre or you’re operating an airgapped network, or you can spin it up in your cloud environment if you’re a typical enterprise. Fletcher talks through the reasons Authentik users are decoupling themselves from the major SaaS Identity Providers, and the flexibility that comes from being able to assemble exactly what you need. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
