Regardless of your enterprise\u2019s size, industry, and goals, users crowd your network. Every employee, contractor, software bot, application, and customer possess its own identity with its own access permissions. With so many users and identities, IT security team swiftly become overwhelmed keeping track of their permissions. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Which becomes its own problem in turn…<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Better Identity Governance Matters<\/b><\/h3>\n

Ideally, every user\u2019s permissions in your enterprise network should correspond to their role in your business. Your HR staff should possess permissions to databases relevant to their jobs, and shouldn\u2019t possess access to your financial department\u2019s resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, business processes, ongoing or one-time projects, and the demands of the workday create scenarios in which employees need temporary permissions to resources outside their parameters. Moreover, as the enterprise network grows, evolves, and engages in transactions, permissions which once fit with certain roles may no longer apply. <\/span><\/p>\n

In either case, if these improper permissions remain on a user\u2019s account, it becomes a case of access creep. Access creep\u2014permission accumulation continuing unchecked\u2014can pose a serious risk to your enterprise. Hackers love overstuffed digital identities and accounts, as do insider threats. <\/span><\/p>\n

Better identity governance helps enforce role management on your enterprise; it determines what your employees have access to and how they use that access. Additionally, better identity governance can help your security team evaluate the appropriateness of users\u2019 permissions and revoke cases of incorrect access when necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, identity governance and administration can ensure temporary permissions stay temporary, keeping them on strict timelines to prevent access creep. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At its core, better identity governance improves your visibility into your network, users, and employees; IGA<\/a> helps your team see their behaviors and their permissions so you can make informed decisions. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Else Can Identity Governance Do for Your Enterprise? <\/b><\/h3>\n
