~6:45 on - Content / Q&AHow IGA is Evolving in the Cloud Era
Identity is fundamental for business operations, which makes identity governance a must-have. New security requirements and cloud scale are driving organizations to rethink technology drivers and solution choices. They need to consider addressing identity governance with a new, purpose-built and automated approach that delivers value quickly and predictably.A modern approach to Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) means being security-first focused and automation-centric. It means having proactive security controls and threat detection in place, together with compliance and lifecycle management. With the majority of breaches rooted in identity, identity and security operations teams must work together to achieve a robust access posture across the entire enterprise attack surface. The challenge is how do organizations bridge the gap between organizational structure and business needs.
