Identity governance is undergoing a significant transformation as organizations grapple with the complexities of modern digital environments. The webinar, “Identity Governance & Compliance Readiness: Building the Foundation That Holds,” brings together industry experts to examine why legacy approaches to identity and access management (IAM) are no longer sufficient—especially as non-human identities become more prevalent and influential in enterprise systems.
Why Identity Governance Demands a New Approach
Historically, IAM programs have focused on managing access for human users. However, the rapid adoption of automation, bots, service accounts, and other non-human identities has introduced new layers of risk. These NHIs often operate with elevated privileges and can be overlooked in traditional governance frameworks, creating potential vulnerabilities that adversaries may exploit.
Organizations are now expected to demonstrate audit-ready compliance and maintain robust controls over all forms of identity—human and non-human alike. This shift is not just a technical challenge but a strategic imperative for security and compliance teams.
Addressing Governance Gaps and Compliance Risks
The event delves into the operational realities of governing NHIs, highlighting the shortcomings of legacy IAM programs that fail to account for these entities. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of where governance gaps exist and how these gaps can lead to compliance failures or security breaches.
Expert speakers will outline actionable steps for closing these gaps, emphasizing unified identity governance as a foundation for reducing risk and achieving real compliance outcomes. The discussion will also touch on privileged access management and security best practices relevant to today’s regulatory landscape.
Industry Context and Practical Insights
As regulatory requirements tighten and audit scrutiny increases, organizations must rethink how they manage identity at scale. The rise of NHIs is not just a technical trend—it’s a fundamental shift in how digital operations are secured and governed. This webinar provides a timely forum for IT and security professionals to explore emerging strategies, learn from industry analysts, and benchmark their own readiness against evolving standards.
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for IT and security leaders, including C-level executives, directors, architects, and managers responsible for identity governance, compliance, and risk management. Professionals seeking to strengthen their organization’s IAM foundation and address the unique challenges posed by non-human identities will find the content especially relevant.
Event Format and Experience
The live, 60-minute webinar is hosted via Microsoft Teams Townhall and features a blend of expert presentations and interactive Q&A. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with thought leaders from GigaOm and One Identity, gaining both strategic perspective and practical guidance for building a resilient identity governance program.
