Shortly before EIC, Graham Williamson and Matthias sat together virtually and discussed the recent publication of the Market Compass on "Policy Based Access Management". In this episode Graham gives a great introduction in this evolved market segment and talks about hybrid and cloud-native use cases. They hint at several sessions on policy-based and cloud-native access control at EIC as well, so for those interested in learning even more on modern authorization, either the Market Compass itself or the EIC recordings are perfect starting points after listening to/watching this episode.
