Because after 25+ years in this industry, I've watched too many smart organizations treat identity like plumbing. That's the problem with plumbing—nobody notices it until the basement is flooded. A few months ago, I gave a talk called "Mastering IAM's Higher Purpose." Afterward, a veteran identity leader walked up and said three words: "So much truth." That's when I knew I had to write the book. Because what I'd been naming finally had words: the homelessness problem. Identity touches everything (security, product, legal, finance, marketing) so in practice, nobody fully owns it. It wanders the org chart like a stray cat. And when something goes wrong? Everyone points at everyone else. This is not a small problem. It’s actually a "CEO losing sleep over liability" problem. The framework I built to solve this is the Four Ps: Protection, Personalization, Payment, and People. Right now, most companies treat these as separate universes, with different teams, different budgets, and different existential crises (not that they plan those). But they're actually one system. You can't beat back fraud without dissolving UX friction. You can't sell your digital wares if you don't trust who you’re pitching to. The book cover shows four interlocked rings, inspired by the Four Ps and a Celtic form called Solomon's Knot. It's not just pretty, it's the point. Pull one thread, and the others move with it. Mastering Digital Identity: From Risk to Revenue launches April 23, 2026. If you're a CEO, senior exec, or even anyone who's tired of identity chaos, I wrote this for you. Link in comments 👇

Jon Knight liked thisJon Knight liked thisToday I’m incredibly proud to announce the release of WiFF – Wireless Identification Friend or Foe - www.wiff.uk. This has been a personal dream of mine for over 20 years: to build a true Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention System that can intelligently understand, analyse, and defend businesses from wireless threats regardless of their size and budgets. With the dawn of generative AI and machine learning, that dream finally became possible. WiFF is a cloud based AI-powered Wireless IDS/IPS built on innovative, research-driven detection techniques using machine learning and advanced signal and behaviour analysis. It runs on commercially available low-end, inexpensive devices (vendor agnostic as far as WiFi infrastructure is concerned). It doesn’t just monitor — it actively protects through features like various active probing, intelligent classification, and containment via deauthentication. This project represents years of research, engineering, and passion brought together into one system designed to answer a simple question: Is this wireless device Friend or Foe? Releasing WiFF today is emotional, exciting, and deeply personal. I believe AI can finally bring wireless security to the level of intelligence it has always needed and without breaking the bank! If you’re interested in next-generation wireless defence, check it out at 👉 www.wiff.uk. It is free for now, for one scanner. If you're interested in deploying it across your business, get in touch as in the early days it won't cost you anything above hardware, even if you're big! Feedback and discussions are very welcome.

Jon Knight liked thisJon Knight liked thisAs a dedicated space nerd this week's theme at GTMKO was great fun and reminded me of a dramatic story I heard on a well known podcast last year. Back in 1969 during the Apollo 11 moon mission, Buzz Aldrin accidentally broke a critical circuit breaker switch needed to launch the lunar module off the moon and reunite with the command module. Stranded on the surface, Aldrin and Neil Armstrong worked with NASA’s Mission Control to hack a solution. Using a felt-tip pen, Aldrin bridged the gap left by the broken switch, successfully activating the engine and lift off from the lunar surface. This moment of ingenuity and teamwork saved the mission, allowing the astronauts to return safely to Earth. That special feeling of teamwork and ingenuity was echoed this week at our GTMKO. We have a phenomenal team at Ping, whose ingenuity, teamwork and passion will take the company to the stars and back. I am looking forward to strapping in for take off again with Paul O'Carroll, Paul Inglis, Marcin Zimny, CISSP, CISM, CEH Mike Stevenson Norm M., Shaina K..

Jon Knight reacted on thisJon Knight reacted on thisOver the past year, I was made redundant, found out I was pregnant, and then, a month or so later, was diagnosed with autism. It’s safe to say my life has changed quite a bit. Job hunting while pregnant made me confront a fair bit of internalised misogyny I wasn’t aware I had. Combined with the pressures of securing a new job before our second daughter was born, ensuring we didn’t lose out on our dream home we were frantically trying to buy, and still being a present mother, partner, and friend, I ended up with a one-way ticket to burnout. At 36 weeks pregnant, and after my final rejection, I had to hit the brakes. I knew there was no possible way I could start the interview process over with another company, and I also knew this would mean we’d have to take our house off the market and say goodbye to the dilapidated, bat-infested, Victorian money pit we’d fallen in love with. This was the first time in twenty years where I didn’t have a job, where I didn’t have an income. Cue identity crisis. Who was I without my career? Being out of work for a year is not something I would have chosen to do, but it’s something I’m grateful for. It meant I got to spend proper quality time with my eldest; it meant I got to do pregnancy yoga and a hypnobirthing course; it meant I got to create mood boards for redecorating my daughters’ bedrooms; and, most importantly, it meant I got to turn my brain off and just be… Now that my eldest has turned three and my youngest will be starting nursery soon, it’s time for me to start the search all over again. So, with that in mind, I have a favour to ask. If you’re an ex-colleague or manager, a former vendor, a friend, or even someone who has interviewed me in the past year, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave me a LinkedIn recommendation. I’d love it even more if you could give me a job, but we’ll work on that later.

Jon Knight liked thisJon Knight liked thisWhen I make a cup of tea, I think of Steve Ferris. A random act of kindness from a leader can have an enduring impact. During a long meeting in the midst of a COVID lockdown, I announced I had run out of tea, knowing my performance would drop (all good Brits are fuelled by tea). The next morning, a giant bag of 600 teabags arrived, sent by Steve, one of our founders now living his best life as a West Country farmer post-tech retirement. Although the tea is long consumed, every time I make a cup, I think of Steve and smile. *Note: Other teas are available... #leadership #mentoring

Why do so many technology POCs fail to make it into production? After spending years working with large enterprises, I’ve come to believe that the problem often isn’t the technology. It’s the question being asked. A technically impressive POC can still be commercially irrelevant. The best projects I’ve seen tend to start somewhere different: What important business problem are we trying to improve? Then: 1. Define the business outcome. 2. Establish how it’s measured today. 3. Understand what constraints exist. 4. Determine whether technology can materially improve the decision. 5. Build the business case alongside the technical case. 6. Agree what “production” actually means before starting the POC. This sounds obvious. It isn’t always how innovation programmes work. The best POCs aren’t technology demonstrations. They’re experiments designed to prove a business case. That distinction becomes particularly important as organisations move from experimenting with AI and quantum computing towards deciding where they should actually invest. #EnterpriseTechnology #Innovation #AI #QuantumComputing #DigitalTransformation
