Mike Malone is the founder and CEO at smallstep based in San Francisco. Smallstep is building proper production identity. We are making it possible for every developer, operator, and logical system component (microservice, container, cron job, function, VM, device, etc) to have a strong cryptographic identity that can be used to securely communicate with everything else no matter what or where it is located. The smallstep solution is standards-based with an open-source core and includes workflows to make Dev/Sec/Ops teams work seamlessly.
