OpenText Identity Governance (NetIQ)

Identity governance and administration (IGA) is a framework that combines identity lifecycle management with access governance. It ensures that the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right times, enhancing security and compliance.

IGA is crucial for improving regulatory compliance, reducing security risks, and streamlining user access management. It helps organizations enforce the principle of least privilege, maintain audit trails, and automate provisioning and deprovisioning processes.

Continuous risk reduction adapts to changes and events as they happen in real time. It automatically initiates compliance reviews and triggers access reviews on high-risk changes. Interventions are needed only for exceptions, ensuring timely and relevant reviews to maintain compliance.

It automates access review and recertification processes, ensuring that access levels are compliant with regulatory standards and reducing the risk of data breaches.

By automating administrative tasks and eliminating manual processes, it boosts operational efficiency, reduces errors, and allows information handlers to focus on their primary responsibilities.

Risk scoring helps evaluate and prioritize access risks dynamically, improving risk management and ensuring that high-risk changes trigger necessary access reviews.
