Today's organizations understand the need for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) initiatives — these programs enable businesses to secure data, complete audits and even improve operational agility. Yet, many of these projects don't deliver on their promise, and one of the main challenges is not having the right infrastructure in place to support a successful roll out. With 94% of organizations reporting an identity-related breach at some point, getting a solid IGA strategy off the ground and scaling it is no longer a nice-to-have, but a need-to-have.
That said, investing in technology and talent and hoping IGA programs stick simply isn't enough. Fortunately, there are some measures security teams can take to ensure a smooth launch and long-term success. It doesn’t necessarily start with the shiny new tool or best-in-class solution, either.
