What is identity and access governance?
In today's digital world, data security and confidentiality are major concerns for businesses and organizations. Identity and access management is a crucial aspect of this security, as it enables control over who has access to which resources, and how this access is used.
Identity and access governance (IAG) consists in setting up a structure and processes to manage identities and their access rights. This governance, often facilitated by an IAG solution, is essential because it enables :
- Control who has access to which resources;
- Ensure data security and confidentiality;
- Reduce the risk of loss or theft of sensitive information.
