“We have inherited an identity infrastructure that is a hodge-podge of ad-hoc responses by people who did not understand the threats,” he told the Eema ISSE 2016 security conference in Paris.
“We have to deal with a conjunction of amateurism and increasingly sophisticated threats – not from college kids, but from PhD graduates working in criminal organisations and nation states,” he said.
