The cybersecurity industry has a hiring problem that isn’t getting better. ISC2’s latest Cybersecurity Workforce Study puts the global shortfall at 4.8 million unfilled positions — up 19 percent year over year, even as active hiring stalled.

At BitTitan, we’ve seen organizations increasingly struggle with identity complexity as hybrid and multi-cloud environments become the norm. Cloud migration used to be relatively straightforward. Teams would move workloads, validate access, and decommission legacy systems. That model worked when environments were more contained and identities were simpler to manage. Today, migration looks very different. Organizations […]
