Identity is the new perimeter, but are you ready to defend it?
Join Rui Shantilal and guest Aiert Azueta, Head of IAM Devoteam Cyber Trust and Director Devoteam Cyber Trust Spain, as they dive deep into the evolving world of Identity & Access Management (IAM), where the battle for cybersecurity is increasingly fought at the level of digital identity.
