Identity Data Automation: The What And Why
The Cyber Hut, Monday, June 10th, 2024
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) has a long and often tortured history. Emerging 20+ years ago in response to financial services regulation such as 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act or the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act it was often littered with complex project analysis phases, tooling that had limited integration capabilities and user experiences that were far from perfect.
The result was a litany of IGA projects there left incomplete, managed by manual fulfilment processes and requiring costly change and upgrade improvements.
However, in 2024 things are much different. The IGA problem statement has become larger - with more systems requiring data cleanup and access request management, more identities need managing, more identity types exist and a complex myriad of hybrid deployment patterns exist, all vying for a position under an IGA umbrella.
