Automation or Governance
Blog

What’s more important, identity automation or identity governance? The debate isn’t over.

Back in the early days of identity management, it was all about automation. Success was measured by how many identity systems you could manage, how quickly you could make changes, and how much of your identity lifecycle you could automate.

IGA Connectors Suck
