Summary
Over the course of their careers, Alex Bovee and Paul Querna realized that while the use of SaaS apps and cloud infrastructure was exploding, the process to give employees permission to use them was not keeping up. Bovee and Querna realized that while more organizations were adopting Zero Trust strategies, they were not enacting privilege controls. There, he and Accel partner Ping Li got to talking and realized they both had an interest in addressing the challenge of granting permissions to users of cloud apps quicker and more securely. “Automation that solves privilege management and governance is the next major pillar of cloud identity,” Accel’s Li said. He also led technology and strategy teams at Rackspace and Cloudkick, and is a vocal and active open-source software advocate.
