Andrew Chanthaphone

Hi, I'm Andrew.

I'm Andrew Chanthaphone — an IAM practitioner, educator, and LinkedIn Learning instructor on a mission to make Identity & Access Management approachable and career-changing for everyone.

Over my career I've worked across business analyst, project manager, and director-level IAM roles, helping organizations solve complex identity challenges in both the federal and commercial sectors. I specialize in Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and SailPoint, and I've led large-scale tenant-to-tenant migrations in highly regulated environments.

I've spoken at Identiverse and Cyberjutsu Con, appeared on podcasts like Identity at the Center, and built this community because I believe IAM is one of the most important — and underappreciated — disciplines in cybersecurity today.

When I'm not creating YouTube videos or course content, I'm hanging out with my family, hitting the gym, or cheering (sometimes booing) my favorite sports teams.

I can definitely vouch for Andrew. Definitely recommend his course as well. It was refreshing when I had my 1:1 with him too! If you are interested in IAM I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his course!

Spent the weekend going through Andrew's IAM Career Launchpad course and I am glad I did. The course took a deep dive into key components of IAM like User Lifecycle Management, AAA, the JML Process, Federation, SSO/MFA, and Compliance. My favorite part was the detailed breakdown of NIST compliance. This is a great course with labs for beginners and those wanting to expand their knowledge in the IAM space. Kudos Andrew!

I cannot thank Andrew enough for the invaluable guidance and support he provided me during my IAM journey. I remember when I reached out in 2022 on LinkedIn — I had no knowledge about IAM. He was welcoming, coached me, and gave me all the tools I needed to get the foundational knowledge.

I received a consultation from Andrew when I was in need of career guidance. He is very professional and applied his extensive background to provide tips on how to bring my best self to an interview. He also helped me build a strong resume to get noticed in the field. I recommend his services for anyone, at any level in their career, who's looking to come out on top!

I spent this month going through Andrew's IAM Career Launchpad course and I am really glad I took the time to dive into it. The course breaks down major IAM concepts like User Lifecycle Management, AAA, Joiner-Mover-Leaver, Federation, SSO/MFA, and Compliance in a very practical way. The clear explanation of how NIST guidelines shape identity validation connected a lot of dots for me. Overall, a solid course — especially for beginners or anyone looking to deepen their IAM expertise. The hands-on labs make the learning even more valuable.

As I went through Andrew's IAM course for a fundamentals refresher, one slide stood out as one of the most important throughout the entire course. Knowing an acronym by name is great, but knowing which acronym to use in a specific environment and the why behind it is most important. Andrew's course delivers exactly that kind of practical clarity.
