Why identity governance must evolve

Cloud-first. Hybrid work. SaaS explosion. Today’s enterprise looks nothing like it did a decade ago—and neither should its approach to identity governance.

As organizations accelerate digital transformation, they must rethink how they manage access. The old ways of doing governance—manual reviews, static entitlements, siloed systems, reactive risk analysis—simply don’t cut it anymore.

Modern identity governance needs to be agile, automated, proactive, and deeply integrated with the rest of your security architecture. Here’s why.

Governance in a borderless world

The explosion of cloud platforms and SaaS apps has created an access sprawl that traditional IGA tools were never designed to handle. Identities span on-prem AD, Azure AD, Okta, Workday, Salesforce, GitHub—and more. And each system has its own roles, permissions, and hierarchies.

The result? Security blind spots. Entitlement drift. Stale access lingering for months—or years—after employees change roles or leave the organization.

To stay secure, organizations need governance tools that can:

  • Manage both cloud and on-prem systems
  • Normalize access data across applications
  • Proactively identify and remediate risky or outdated entitlements at scale
Beyond manual certifications

Let’s be honest: no one likes doing access reviews. They’re time-consuming, repetitive, and often lack context. Worse still, many reviewers rubber-stamp approvals just to move on.

That’s why automation is a game-changer.

RSA Governance & Lifecycle helps organizations streamline certifications with features like:

  • AI-powered suggestions for reviewers
  • Policy-driven approvals based on role or department
  • Automated remediation of policy violations

It’s not about removing human oversight—it’s about focusing it where it matters most.

Flexibility meets control

Modern identity governance isn’t just about removing risk—it’s about empowering business agility. Employees should be able to request access and get approved quickly—without compromising security.

RSA enables self-service access requests with built-in policy checks, approval workflows, and detailed audit logs. That means users get what they need, and security teams get peace of mind.

The cloud-first enterprise demands governance that is fast, flexible, and secure. With RSA, you get all three.

Whether you’re managing complex hybrid environments or preparing for regulatory audits, RSA Governance & Lifecycle helps you maintain control—without slowing innovation.

In the new digital enterprise, governance isn’t just about control—it’s about enablement. Let’s make identity governance work for you, not against you.
