ID Management and Audit/Control Requirements Complicated by Mixed SaaS and Legacy Systems Corporate IT environments are rapidly becoming more complex due to the expansion of SaaS adoption, continued use of on-premises systems, and access control based on zero-trust principles. Consequently, the role of ID management is shifting from simply enabling logins to "being able to explain who has what permissions, why, and to what extent." In recent years, the decentralization of ID management across SaaS applications and individual systems has led to the emergence of issues such as: - Unnecessary permissions remaining after employee transfers. - Access reviews becoming reliant on individual knowledge during audits. - An increasing number of exceptions granted through administrator operations. - Inability to explain "who can access what." Furthermore, with the spread of zero-trust concepts, the focus is shifting from mere authentication enhancement to "operations that can continuously maintain the principle of least privilege." As a result, many companies are now being forced to re-evaluate "how much of IDaaS, IDM, and IGA is necessary to meet their specific audit and governance requirements."

Unable to Determine if IDaaS Alone is Sufficient, Leading to Stalled Selection of ID Management Platforms Implementing an ID management platform can achieve convenience features like SSO, MFA, and SaaS account integration, along with basic access control. However, in practice, discussions often stall on points such as: - How to prevent excessive permissions. - The extent to which access changes during employee transfers can be automated. - How to control the application, approval, and review processes. - Whether visibility across both SaaS and on-premises systems is possible. A further problem is that the fragmentation of ID management by system often leads to a situation where "permissions exist, but it's unclear why individuals have them." This can result in: - Manual access reviews being conducted for every audit. - Permissions from previous roles persisting after employee transfers. - Exception-based operations accumulating, rendering controls ineffective. Currently, many companies are facing the challenge of selecting not just an authentication platform, but "an ID management platform that meets audit and control requirements."

Differences Between IDaaS/IDM/IGA and Key Selection Points for IGA Considering Excessive Permissions, Reviews, and Transfer Management This seminar will clarify the roles and differences between IDaaS, IDM, and IGA, explaining why IGA is increasingly in demand from the perspectives of auditing, control, and operational efficiency. It will then address: - Why excessive permissions occur. - Why access reviews become dependent on individual knowledge. - Why on-site operations halt during permission management for employee transfers. By organizing the structures that often lead to ineffective ID management, the seminar will introduce key points to consider when selecting an IGA solution. Moreover, it will go beyond simple feature comparisons to discuss "the concepts necessary to maintain continuous control in actual operations," such as periodic access certification, reconciliation, segregation of duties (SoD), and permission retention during transfers.

- Recommended for individuals in the following positions / facing these challenges: - Companies with mixed SaaS and on-premises environments where ID management is fragmented by system. - Organizations that have implemented IDaaS but cannot fully address audit, access reviews, and permission control. - Those concerned about missed deactivations of permissions for departing employees or the persistence of outdated privileges. - Situations where access reviews and evidence organization for audits are becoming personalized. - The need for continuous management of excessive permissions and Segregation of Duties (SoD) violations. - A desire to clarify the differences between IDaaS, IDM, and IGA, and determine the necessary level of implementation.

- What you can take away from this seminar: ID management is evolving beyond simple account management; the era now demands a state where "permissions can be continuously optimized based on audit and control requirements." This seminar will organize the roles and differences of IDaaS, IDM, and IGA, explaining how to determine the appropriate level of control for your company. We encourage participation from those who feel that "audit responses are always burdensome," "ID management is starting to break down in operations," or "need to determine if IGA is truly necessary and to what extent it is required."
