#255 - Defender Fridays: Identity Automation in the Age of Agentic AI with Matthew Chiodi from Cerby

10/10/2025
Matt, Chief Strategy Officer at Cerby, discusses how the autonomous AI agents create a demand for a fresh approach to identity security and shares practical insights on navigating these new challenges. Join the Defender Fridays community, live every Friday, to discuss the dynamic world of information security in a collaborative space with seasoned professionals. Matt has spent 20+ years at the intersection of cybersecurity, strategy, and company building.

At Cerby, Matt has been part of the journey from pre-launch through significant enterprise adoption, serving first as Founding Advisor, then Chief Trust Officer, COO, and now CSO. Each role reflected a different stage of building the company: establishing trust and market credibility, creating the operations foundation, and shaping long-term strategy and growth. Before Cerby, as part of the early RedLock team, Matt helped scale Prisma Cloud (formerly RedLock) from $4M to $500M+ ARR after Palo Alto Networks’ $235M acquisition. That experience taught him how to scale security businesses from the ground up while staying connected to practitioner needs. Matt believes the best security leaders shouldn’t have to choose between protecting and growing the business; his work is helping organizations achieve both.
