New Podcast Episode: Identity-First Security for Banks and Fintechs

In this episode, Koen Marcel K Vanderhoydonk is joined by Sutton Maxwell from Curity to discuss how AI is reshaping the risk surface for banks and fintechs and why identity and API security must be designed in from day one.

Their conversation aims to break down how teams can set the right API guardrails, balance user experience with trust and build hybrid architectures that meet regulatory demands without sacrificing speed.

The discussion further explores why so many AI pilots fail when security is bolted on too late, the most common mistakes teams make when introducing controls and how risk-based friction can actually strengthen customer trust.

From US led speed in AI adoption to Europe’s regulatory first approach this episode provides practical, founder-level advice on KYC, OAuth and OIDC explaining how getting identity right can turn compliance into a true growth advantage.
