In this episode of the NextGen Case Study series, we welcome Garret Grajek, CEO and co-founder of YouAttest, a company specializing in cloud-based identity, auditing, and management solutions. With nearly 30 years of experience in information security, Garret is recognized as a security visionary, holding 13 patents in technologies like X.509, mobile, SSO, federation, and multi-factor authentication. His extensive work includes significant security projects for both commercial clients and public sector organizations, such as the US Navy and the EPA.
Garret begins by sharing his journey from a programmer to a leading figure in identity and security. His early experiences with companies like Security Dynamics and NetEgrity shaped his approach to building security solutions that are not only effective but also user-friendly. He emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and the value of taking bold steps, like his move from Chicago to Texas, which he credits as a pivotal moment in his career.

At YouAttest, Garret focuses on simplifying the complex process of identity attestation, which involves verifying user access to sensitive data. He explains how traditional methods rely on manual processes like emails and spreadsheets, which are prone to errors and inefficiencies. To address this, YouAttest digitizes and automates the entire process, providing a cloud-based solution that streamlines user access reviews and compliance.

Garret highlights the regulatory pressures driving the need for better identity management solutions. Regulations like HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and GDPR mandate that organizations regularly review and attest to user access rights. He discusses how YouAttest helps organizations meet these compliance requirements efficiently, reducing the risk of over privileged users and potential security breaches.
�ۍ
One of the key challenges Garret addresses is communicating the importance of identity management to potential clients. He emphasizes the need for education and informative outreach, often starting with webinars and product demos. By showcasing the benefits of their solution and providing hands-on trials, YouAttest can demonstrate its value in real-world scenarios.

Garret also touches on the importance of empowering his team through constant communication and regular training. He shares an anecdote about biking across Ireland, which taught him the value of incremental progress and the importance of trusting in his team's abilities. He believes in setting achievable tasks that challenge his team to grow and develop their skills.
�ۍ
Looking ahead, Garret is excited about integrating AI and predictive analytics into YouAttest's solutions. By developing identity trust scores, YouAttest aims to provide a comprehensive measure of user trustworthiness, helping organizations better manage access and security. He sees great potential in expanding these capabilities to the supply chain, enhancing overall cybersecurity across interconnected systems.
