An interesting chat around the changing role of Hardware Asset Management post-COVID and how organisations can address the key challenges.
In particular, it was interesting to discuss the relationship between HAM and Infosec. A symbiotic partnership with ITAM helping Information Security, and Information Security helping ITAM.
