Most organizations don’t start their identity security journey with a governance strategy in the form of a fully-baked, commercial IGA solution. But they almost always get there eventually. In this session, Active Directory users and Identity Management Administrators will see how AD Management and Security tools can serve as an on-ramp to an effective IGA strategy, creating a solid foundation that lessens the burden of your IGA implementation. We will focus on practical implementation strategies with a proven track record, moving from the barely-managed chaos of many Active Directory environments to a compliant, secure and audit-ready enterprise.

You will learn:

  • Create a streamlined, secure, governance-ready Active Directory
  • Effective strategy for migrating from AD-centric identity management to full enterprise-wide identity governance
  • Enable your AD admins’ productivity while keeping compliance and security teams happy
