The Identity at the Core

The Definitive Chronicle of Identity & Access Management

Paulo Valadares

IAM Engineering Manager · Security Architect · Builder

I lead Identity & Access Management engineering for one of Canada's largest corporations, where I architect and manage IAM infrastructure protecting millions of identities across hybrid cloud environments.

I started Identity at the Core because I believe the IAM community deserves a central, independent source for real-time intelligence - not vendor marketing, but the raw signal: breaches, vulnerabilities, policy shifts, and the hard lessons that come with managing identity at enterprise scale.

When I'm not building identity infrastructure, I'm building tools to help other IAM professionals work smarter. I also speak about identity security, Zero Trust architecture, and the evolving threat landscape at industry events.
