Disclosure. Produced by Delinea (formerly Thycotic), a privileged access management vendor. The host is Delinea's ethical hacker, per the show's feed.

What it is

401 Access Denied launched in January 2020 under Thycotic, which became Delinea, and is hosted by Joseph Carson, described in the feed as Delinea's ethical hacker. Over 126 episodes it covered privileged access, ransomware response, security culture, and the year's cyber trends with guests from across the industry. It won the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards' best North American cybersecurity podcast in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Who it suits

Security practitioners who want a broad, story-driven security show with a privileged access angle.

Editor note

Engaging and well produced, but broader than identity: many episodes are about security culture and incidents rather than PAM. It has published nothing since February 19, 2025, and Delinea's page still lists it without an end notice, so we list it as dormant. For an ordered PAM education, use our PAM learning path and the best PAM tools ranking.
