Digital identities are not just for humans, therefore IaM controls should manage the digital identities of devices, computers, applications, and services. IaM controls allow IT and Information Security to manage approved digital identities, authenticate them when they log in, authorize them to access pre-approved resources and manage those identifies throughout their lifecycle (e.g., Joiners, Movers, and Leavers).

The role is part of the whole cybersecurity organization team and as such the job holder will also support the strategic thinking and have the operational seriousness to run several security initiatives, due diligence reviews and BAU process and other non-routine assignments at the behest of the IaM leader and GCISO, as and when necessary.
