Identity Governance

Identity governance and administration from concepts to deployment: lifecycle automation, access requests, certification campaigns, the product landscape, and the career it leads to.

Who it is for

Analysts, engineers and auditors responsible for who has access, whether they should, and proving it.

What you can do at the end

You can design a joiner-mover-leaver process, run an access review that changes something, choose between governance platforms on the right criteria, and talk to auditors in their language.
