Identity governance involves orchestrating user identity management and access control, so you give the right people access to the right tools at the right time. That same system also assesses risks and produces reports, so you can track use and prove compliance.
Identity governance solutions are complex, and they do take time to implement. But automation and machine learning cut down on pesky, manual tasks, such as password management and provisioning.
Those automation systems also help to manage employment lifecycles, so you can enhance or restrict access due to changes in an employee's daily work.
