- Prepare and execute the migration roadmap from mPass to Windows Hello for Business, including pilot planning, risk management, and cutover support.
PAM. CyberArk (Current). BeyondTrust (Future)
- Operate and scale CyberArk (safes, platforms, CPM/PSM health, onboarding, rotations, access workflows).
- Drive privileged account onboarding and operational hygiene (break glass, vault policies, RBAC, session controls).
- Support evaluation and future rollout of BeyondTrust as needed (requirements, migration planning,operational model).
IGA. SailPoint (Future)
