Beyond Approvals: Automating IAM for Compliance, Security, and Business Agility

Traditional IAM processes often rely too much on human approvers, leading to delays, rubber-stamping, and security risks. This session explores the challenges of manual approvals in Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) and how automation can improve efficiency and security. We’ll discuss how Just-in-Time (JIT) access can help as a solution, enabling pre-authorized users to gain secure, immediate access without approval delays. By leveraging policy-based access controls (PBAC) and AI-driven automation, organizations can minimize human dependencies while ensuring compliance and scalability. Real-world examples will demonstrate how businesses have transitioned from manual to automated IAM processes, improving security while reducing operational friction. Attendees will gain insights into the future of IAM—where intelligent automation enhances governance, reduces risk, and streamlines access management.
