Offerings
3 offeringsIdentity Security Cloud
SaaS IGA platform — automates the full identity lifecycle (joiner/mover/leaver), access request and approval workflows, access certifications (quarterly/annual reviews), and policy enforcement. AI-powered recommendations flag excessive access and orphaned accounts. Covers apps, data, cloud infrastructure, and non-human identities.
IdentityIQ
On-premises IGA platform for large enterprises requiring on-site deployment for compliance, data residency, or air-gapped network requirements. The most feature-rich IGA platform in the market with the largest library of connectors. Still the default for heavily regulated industries migrating from legacy provisioning systems.
Non-Employee Risk Management
Governs contractor, vendor, and partner identities throughout their engagement lifecycle — provisioning access on day one, monitoring for over-access during the engagement, and automatically deprovisioning when the contract ends. Addresses the leading source of third-party breaches: orphaned vendor accounts.
