Phew, it's been one hell of a year. At the start of 2024 I made a deal with myself. Progress out of IT Support and take on a new challenge or face the reality that you will be left behind.😅

For me, I know myself to be the type of person to not let talents, skills, and knowledge go to waste. It nags me to no end and will haunt me like a ghost from one of those 80's movies lol. Ghostbusters

IAM is also a core component of the CISSP certification. Let's dive into the pillars of Identity and Access Management and how they can be applied to make your organization more secure. We will use the scope of #Entra ID, as #Microsoft has implemented all the necessary controls to carry out Identity and Access Management.
