Increased implementation of identity and access management (IAM) solutions is resulting in a surge of hiring. Candidates with the necessary skills are in demand.

What it takes

IAM is linked to the security of all organizations involved in electronic commerce. Further, the government is holding companies responsible for controlling access to customer and employee information.

Compensation

Those with the ability to interface with business leaders, who have project/program management skills and can develop roadmaps to integrate the technology, adoption and operating strategies can earn in excess of $150,000.
