I Was Supposed to Be a Spy—Now I Manage Identity Security

In this episode of Smells Like Identity Hygiene, Rosario sits down with Alexis Craddock, Director of Cyber Risk and Compliance at Cox Enterprises, to explore the realities of modern identity programs. They discuss why identity must be treated as a continuous business enabler rather than a one-time project, the growing risks around privileged and AI-driven identities, and how communication, governance, and user adoption shape successful security strategies. Alexis also shares insights from her career journey and advice for the next generation of identity leaders.
