Wishing everyone a safe and fun 4th of July weekend from Novacoast!

For decades, U.S. companies have shipped work offshore to cut costs. What we've seen in our own operations: one senior service desk analyst, with the right AI tooling, can deliver the same output as 3-4 offshore counterparts. Last year we launched our onshore identity and access service desk. Fewer people, onshore, beating offshore on both cost and quality. This article came from a conversation with Eron Howard, Novacoast COO, and Zack Zupan, who runs our service desk, on how and why this works.

AI is reshaping Identity. Are you ready? Jim Gerken, Director of Identity Services at Novacoast, just delivered a power‑packed session on how AI is moving faster than any previous innovation in our field. It’s not a buzzword, it’s already improving security, cutting costs, and accelerating delivery. Yet many identity programs are still lagging behind. If you want to unlock AI’s promised benefits (faster, cheaper, and better identity solutions), start with these steps: - Identify high‑impact use cases – where AI can automate verification, anomaly detection, or risk scoring. - Invest in clean data & governance – AI is only as good as the data it learns from. - Build a cross‑functional AI champion team – bring together security, IT, compliance, and data scientists to keep the initiative focused. Want more detail? Jim’s slide deck, a quick questionnaire, and a contact form are now available. Grab them here: https://lnkd.in/gnZAp4YP Fill out the form if you’d like Jim or a member of our team to reach out directly. Whether it’s questions, a deeper dive, or a discussion about how AI can elevate your identity program. Let’s make sure your team is ready for the AI‑driven future of identity! #IdentityManagement #AI #DigitalTransformation #CyberSecurity #Novacoast #Leadership #Innovation

This past week, Novacoast and Cyberhaven hosted a Dine & Dash at Libertango Steakhouse in Sandy, UT! With no formal presentations, the focus was simple: good conversation and great connections. Security leaders and peers gathered to unwind, share insights, and network, all while take-home meals were prepared for attendees to enjoy with their families. We're so appreciative of everyone who joined and brought such great energy to the evening. There's nothing better than building strong partnerships over good food and company. We can't wait to do it again soon! #DineAndDash #Novacoast #Cyberhaven #ITSecurity #Networking
