SecurEnds’ Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) blog explains how IGA helps organizations manage and control user access to systems and data while ensuring security and compliance. It defines IGA as the policies, processes, and technologies that govern who has access, why, and for how long, and highlights how automation of access reviews, provisioning, and deprovisioning reduces manual effort and risk. The article outlines key benefits such as improved compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, streamlined workflows, reduced audit fatigue, and enhanced security through role-based access control and continuous review. It also discusses challenges like orphaned accounts and privilege creep, and how modern IGA solutions like SecurEnds integrate with tools such as Okta, Workday, and ServiceNow to deliver scalable, automated governance across hybrid environments
