— After more than 26 years with Microsoft, Nadim Abdo is now the tech giant’s corporate vice president of Identity & Network Access (IDNA). The team’s services authenticate more than 1 billion users daily, and its Microsoft Entra technology is used by more than 95% of Fortune 500 companies, Abdo noted on LinkedIn.
“As the next wave of AI reshapes how people, apps, and autonomous systems interact, our opportunity is to redefine how trust is established, making secure access more intelligent, adaptive, and resilient by design,” Abdo added.
