The way you organize, monitor, manage and report the user access to these various resources while meeting audit and compliance requirements is what is Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) all about.
IGA technology is key to manage identity and access across your organization. It will enforce that the right people get the right access to the right resources at the right time for the right reasons.
There are more advantages to IGA technology than just the ease of identity access management.
An IGA system has tools which provide an organization insight into IT risks.
These tools are needed to shift from functionality and efficiency (managing access) to mitigating corporate risk. This will increase the awareness in the organization related to identity and access management.
Implementing IGA is a process where the organization will mature together with a growing awareness of identities and access. This is not a one-off project, it’s rather an evolution. An organization must go through different stages of the IGA best practice approach to have fully implemented functionalities of IGA.
As your organization evolves, you need to keep up with the access to all resources. IGA helps you to enforce that the right people get the right access to the right resources at the right time for the right reasons. The system will provide the organization with insights into IT risks. Implementing IGA is not one-off project, rather an evolution. IGA is fundamental for compliancy, avoiding labor intensive tasks and reducing business risks and helps you to get in control of IAM.
