Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)

In today's digital landscape, organizations manage hundreds of applications, cloud services, and systems. With so many access points, it's easy to lose track of who has access to what – and that's where Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) becomes essential.

IGA isn't just another IT security tool. It's a strategic framework designed to ensure that the right people have the right access at the right time, with continuous monitoring and control to maintain security and compliance.

Key Benefits of IGA

Streamlined Access Requests
Users can request access through a self-service portal, with approvals routed based on governance policies. Every request and approval is logged, ensuring full auditability.

Least Privilege Enforcement
Access is granted based on user roles, and temporary access is automatically revoked once tasks are completed.
Example: Roy, a financial analyst, needed urgent access to the trading system for end-of-quarter reconciliation. His manager submitted a request via the IGA platform. After manager and compliance approvals, Roy received access for just 4 hours. Once the task was done, IGA automatically revoked his elevated permissions.

Real-Time Monitoring
IGA continuously tracks user activity to detect anomalies or suspicious behavior, enabling proactive threat detection.

Audit Trails & Access Reviews
Detailed logs and periodic access reviews ensure transparency and help meet compliance requirements.

Segregation of Duties (SoD)
IGA enforces policies that prevent users from holding conflicting roles – for example, someone who creates payments cannot also approve them. This separation reduces the risk of fraud and misuse.

Orphaned Account Prevention
Inactive or orphaned accounts are automatically detected and removed.
Example: When John left the company, his HR status changed to "terminated." IGA detected this and triggered an access revocation workflow. Within minutes, John's Active Directory account was disabled, and his access to Salesforce, AWS, and ServiceNow was revoked – eliminating any lingering access risks.

Alerting & Notifications
IGA sends alerts for suspicious activities, enabling quick response and remediation.

Centralized Access Visibility
IGA provides a unified view of access across all systems and applications, making it easier to manage and audit.

"Never Trust, Always Verify"
IGA enforces continuous authentication and authorization, aligning with Zero Trust principles.

The Risks of Ignoring IGA

Without proper IGA, organizations face increased risks of unauthorized access, data breaches, and compliance violations – all of which can lead to financial losses and reputational damage.
