So What is IGA (Identity Governance and Administration)? 

We don’t want to give away too much about the video or its contents—you should check it out on our Youtube channel. Yet we do want to explore one of the key dangers IGA works to prevent: access creep.

Access creep can occur in numerous ways. For example, a user may receive temporary permissions to fulfill a short-term project. However, without identity governance and administration, your IT security team won’t have control over those permissions. In fact, they may lack the visibility to even register the user possesses those permissions. So the user slowly accumulates more and more privileges, turning their credentials into a bloated target. 

Both hackers and insider threats can use unmonitored privileges and credentials with access creep to conduct their attacks without challenge; after all, it offers them more unrestricted powers on your enterprise network and fewer movement constraints. 

Identity governance gives your enterprise insights into your users’ permissions and gives your team the power to remove unneeded permissions.
