The Semperis Story — Chapter 3 | With Darren Mar-Elia
A Their Story conversation with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
Guest: Darren Mar-Elia
Businesses rely heavily on Active Directory to manage policies and access for pretty much everything that runs their business. Essentially, they built a vault years ago to hold all of their treasures and secrets, and business operations look to that vault every moment of every day to grab things from it so they can make countless business decisions.
But, because that vault was created and used behind scenes by most throughout the organization, does it get the attention it deserves in terms of risk assessments, threat monitoring, and attack defense?
This is the burning question that we dig in to with Darren in this chapter.

Their Story At Hacker Summer Camp | Las Vegas 2019 | Darren Mar-Elia, Semperis
A Their Story interview with Sean Martin & Marco Ciappelli
Guest: Darren Mar-Elia, Head of Product | Semperis
We’ve said it many times and we won’t change our mind anytime soon: we go to conferences to meet old friends, make new ones, and have stimulating conversations. It can be a tour de force as we have a limited amount of time and an almost unlimited number of topics we can chat about. Yes, we can all agree that the InfoSec industry has become a variegated field with a great variety of people and stories. We sure love that, but when story time is also lunch time, it takes a special topic to get the the energy level up and starting the podcast by telling stories about the early days (1970’s) of the Atari 800 can have that reinvigorating effect. That’s exactly what Marco and I did when we spoke with Darren Mar-Elia from Semperis. That wasn’t all that we spoke about though—that was just the ice-breaker for the chat we had.
Thankfully, Darren is able to provide some seriously-valuable insight into the questions we had for him. However, for one final question, Darren had a different idea in mind.
Have a listen to hear what Darren’s plan is when this eventuality becomes reality.
