About Author

Dan Kaplan is the friendly neighborhood content marketing leader at Aembit. Based in New York but operating remotely, he tells stories about agentic identity, workload identity, and cybersecurity that are meant to educate, inspire and, if he’s lucky, even entertain. Before joining Aembit, Dan held a similar role at Google Cloud, following stints at Siemplify and Trustwave, where he led content initiatives. He planted his roots in cybersecurity as a reporter and editor at SC Media. When he’s not conjuring content, he can usually be found watching sports, advocating for farm animals, or listening to paranormal stories as he falls asleep. Don’t ask.
