The candidate must be able to demonstrate his or her role, the results obtained, the difficulties encountered and the lessons learned.
   
• The ability to turn business and security needs into an actionable IAM roadmap, manage technical and organizational dependencies, and drive the solution through to adoption and operation is a must.
• Knowledge of other infrastructure security domains — PAM, PKI, HSM, SASE, networks, firewalls, VPNs, and cloud — will be seen as complementary to the expected IAM experience.
