Identity governance has changed. It’s no longer about passing audits; it’s about protecting your business, enabling productivity, and reducing risk across an increasingly complex identity landscape.
That’s why we’re launching an ongoing blog series on the core capabilities every modern identity governance and administration platform must deliver — and how Okta helps customers achieve them. Think of this as your guide to simplifying governance while strengthening security.
Delivering comprehensive governance
With Okta Identity Governance, you don’t have to choose between speed and control, security and user experience, or compliance and agility. Okta Identity Governance delivers the full scope of a comprehensive governance solution: automated lifecycle management, access requests, certifications, separation of duties, RBAC, entitlement visibility, and more.
Even better, it’s not an isolated tool. Okta Identity Governance is part of the Okta Identity Security Fabric, a unified platform designed to protect identities before, during, and after authentication. That means governance works hand-in-hand with access management, adaptive MFA, and automation to deliver stronger outcomes across your workforce.
