Identity governance is the framework and processes organizations use to manage, monitor, and secure user identities and access across SaaS applications. It includes provisioning and deprovisioning accounts, automating access reviews, and ensuring compliance with policies and regulations. A robust identity governance strategy reduces the risk of unauthorized access, insider threats, and excessive permissions. Advanced identity governance systems leverage automation and analytics to enforce least privilege access, streamline audits, and provide real-time insights into user activities.
