ServiceNow is core to many modern businesses. The platform is cloud-based, AI-first and centralized. As the operational center of the enterprise, ServiceNow offers IT leaders automation opportunities that help optimize workflows, track requests and enforce processes. Naturally, managing so many actions within one ecosystem calls for advanced identity governance and administration (IGA).

Modernize and protect your Active Directory (AD) using Active Roles by One Identity Active Roles version 8.5 provides several highly requested features to fortify and enrich the integration capabilities of Active Roles. These new features bring unmatched flexibility and security to Active Directory environments, supporting customers where they are today and where they want to go in the future.

Most identity governance and administration (IGA) programs do a good job answering one question: who should have access to what. The platform provisions accounts, runs certifications, enforces segregation of duties and feeds compliance reporting. After the request has been approved and the account exists in Active Directory, the IGA tool typically stops looking. What happens inside the directory after that is somebody else’s problem.

The end of an era is upon us, as SAP has announced the end of life for their identity governance and administration (IGA) platform — a platform that supported several SAP products. Without this pivotal identity management tool, where are customers to go to protect the digital identities of their organization? And how can they know that any new platform will be trustworthy? SAP hasn’t left their customers in a lurch.

You can stand up a vault in two weeks. The team at One Identity says that’s about how long it takes to get the basics running, from discovery scans to approval workflows. Two to four weeks of work, and a respectable PAM foundation is in place. That’s not the hard part. The hard part starts the next morning, when actual users start working around the system.

The concept of AI might trigger both excitement and stress for those who spend all their time either using it for efficiency or fighting it as it tries to breach their systems. A massive force of non-human identities that have been summoned to expose the tiniest cracks in an organization’s security is enough to overwhelm any IT team. However savvy, modern security professionals have begun to raise their own versions of AI armies – designed to stop those sent by malicious actors.
