Introduction
#

After years of articles and how-tos scattered across various documents and platforms, I decided to open this new space dedicated to cybersecurity, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM), and related technologies.

Drawing from my experience as a Solutions Engineer in the IAM/CIAM sector, working with enterprise clients across various industries, I want to share practical insights and real-world solutions that actually work. Learn more in the About page.

Philosophy: minimal and functional
#

I deliberately chose a minimal approach for this blog:

  • Static site generator: Hugo for performance and simplicity
  • Clean theme: Blowfish for essential and readable design
  • Serverless architecture: GitHub for source code and Cloudflare Pages for hosting
  • Zero operational costs: completely free and scalable
  • Security by design: fewer moving parts = reduced attack surface

This choice reflects my philosophy: focus on content rather than graphical frills.

Special thanks go to Matteo Bisi for suggesting the Hugo + Cloudflare Pages combination. A spot-on choice that greatly simplified the setup and management.

Content and objectives
#

In this space you’ll find:

  • Technical articles on IAM, CIAM, cybersecurity and related technologies
  • Practical how-to guides for implementations and troubleshooting
  • Analysis and opinions on industry trends and new technologies
  • Collection of material I’ve written over the years, now organized and accessible
  • Travel tips for adventures around Las Vegas, Arizona, California and Nevada - useful for those attending industry events like SKO, Oktane and other conferences in the area

The target audience is technical professionals: IAM admins, CISOs, CIOs, developers and DevOps engineers.

Language aspects
#

Most content will be in English, the standard language for technical documentation. However, some posts will be available in multilingual versions:

  • 🇬🇧 English: the industry’s “bridge language”
  • 🇮🇹 Italian: my native language
  • 🇫🇷 French: my attempt to broaden linguistic horizons, a personal experiment to publish something in a language I’ve been studying for just over two years (please bear with any errors!)

Licensing: open sharing
#

I chose the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) for all content.

This means you can:

  • Share the material
  • Adapt it to your needs
  • Reuse it in your projects

With the constraints of:

  • Attribution: cite the source
  • Non-commercial: non-commercial use only
  • Share alike: maintain the same license

Find more information on the “license” page.

Next steps
#

In the coming days I’ll start migrating and publishing existing content, organizing it by category and updating it where necessary.

Stay tuned for content on IAM, CIAM, Okta, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML, Zero Trust, and similar topics!

You can also subscribe to the newsletter to receive all the new posts directly in your mailbox. An RSS feed is also available.
