    One of the key enablers for successfully advancing this from a business use case was clearly highlighted here: the tracking of APIs. This capability provides a quantifiable view of the data, enabling senior leadership to make informed decisions and drive strategic modernization. Excellent webinar -- I am looking forward to the rest of the series! 👏

    I'm the IAM admin for my org and I am in the Infrastructure wing of IT.  It feels like IAM is shifting or moving to the Security side of IT, or maybe it's been there since the beginning of time and we are just misaligned.  Do you see IAM responsibilities shifting to Security and away from Infra?  My org is in the Consumer Packaged Goods business.

      Hi John, in my company, the IAM team was originally part of the Infrastructure Department. We have since transitioned to the Security Platform Department.
