• Advanced experience with PAM platforms (e.g., CyberArk, BeyondTrust).
• Hands-on expertise with IGA tools (e.g., SailPoint, Saviynt).
• Proficiency in authentication and authorization protocols (e.g., SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect).
• Knowledge of cloud IAM (AWS IAM, Azure AD, Google Cloud IAM).
Experience:
• Minimum 8+ years in IAM roles, with 3+ years as an architect focusing on PAM and IGA.
• Proven success in deploying large-scale IAM solutions in complex environments.
