1. ID Governance and the Cloud
Identity management duties get increasingly difficult as more firms migrate from
software to virtualized services and try to enhance mobile access. To prevent unwanted
access to sensitive data traveling across onsite and remote devices, strong safeguards
are required. A brand new solution is required to accommodate the growing volume of
portable devices connected to business systems.
To address escalating security concerns, a new breed of identification and admission
management (IAM) methods is emerging. Although many firms now utilize identification
governing and administration (IGA) to manage the specifics of IAM, it’s time to
investigate. Following the digital trend and embracing cloud-based IGA for improved
identity and permissions administration is sure to pay in the long run.
Changing trends of Cloud Migration
The migration of corporate services and programs to the cloud is a natural progression
in the growth of enterprise technology. Saviynt, an IGA service provider, defines the
future face of business as a “borderless organization”. A system that incorporates
complicated information networks in which individuals log in from both local networks
and portable devices. They can move back and forth to meet changes in their region
and timetable. Not all workers spend their whole workday in the workplace, and others
may not have a permanent desk area at all. This new work structure needs a
mobile-friendly solution that allows important business apps to be accessed from
anywhere and on a variety of devices.
The rising complexity of such systems has necessitated the development of new
generations of identity management. This method of governance and management,
branded as IGA 2.0 and popularized by organizations such as Saviynt, attempts to:
• Break down information silos
• Use machine learning to automate IAM processes
• Leverage security tactics such as micro-certification
• Adopt risk- and use type models to setup access rules
• Develop an improved approach towards segregation of duties (SoD)
• Break down information silos
Why Do you need IGA?

2. A cloud-based IGA system is neither required nor beneficial for all enterprises. How do
you recognize when it’s time to execute the change? Consider implementing IGA if:
● You oversee a major enterprise-level company with several systems and a
significant number of users.
● Your IT staff is swamped with IAM chores.
● You’re expanding or anticipate a major expansion in the near future.
● Your company is subject to a number of various compliance rules.
● You require a method for automating preexisting well-defined IAM regulations
and user profiles.
● Employees frequently use both cloud-based and on-premises solutions.
● Daily workflow permissions are complicated.
● Workflows need users to access several programs or switch between systems.
● SoD is required to prevent unauthorized access.
● You want to simply design and manage a safe user access policy.
