Duration: Long Term Contract (W2)

Job Description:

• In depth domain understanding of application security in terms of Identity and Access Management (IAM), different authentication technologies (passwords, biometrics, OTP, digital certificates & PKI, device authentication, FIDO U2F/Passkeys, etc.
