Companies face mounting pressure to prove compliance with regulatory frameworks while maintaining operational efficiency. identity governance and administration (IGA) sits at the center of these compliance requirements, making the choice of IGA solution a strategic decision that can determine audit success or failure. When evaluating compliance-focused IGA platforms, user testimonials offer invaluable insight into how solutions perform under actual deployment conditions.

You can’t secure what you don’t manage. Mismanaged access is an open invitation for breaches. Overprivileged users and a surge in non-human identities (like service accounts and API keys) are quietly expanding your organization’s attack surface. Yet many still rely on outdated, manual IAM practices that can’t keep up with modern infrastructure. It’s not just a theory—38% of breaches trace back to stolen credentials.

“Identity is the new perimeter” had its moment. But as cloud-native environments and distributed teams become the norm, this mantra is starting to show its age. The risks tied to static, identity-based access are now too big to ignore, and no one sees that more clearly than security vendors themselves.

In today’s hybrid, multi-cloud environments, managing accurate network data and enforcing policy consistency across diverse infrastructures has become a serious operational challenge. As enterprises navigate the complexity of multi-vendor architectures and evolving security requirements, gaps in IPAM (IP Address Management) accuracy can lead to operational disruption, misconfigurations, and audit risk.

Every update to One Identity Active Roles is made in response to feedback from our customers. From adapting to improve usability or streamlining administration processes, our product development is always centered around solving the nuanced problems IT teams face every day. We’re excited to share the five recent updates we’ve made to Active Roles, including.

Unauthorized access, insider threats, and privilege misuse can all lead to significant data breaches, and often, the root of the problem lies in how privileged accounts are managed. That’s why controlling privileged access is a top security priority for organizations of all sizes. Two common approaches to managing privileged access are Privileged User Management (PUM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM).

If you are like me, a couple of years ago it was like I woke up to a new concept in the world of IT: the non-human identity. But, wait…this sounds very familiar. Haven’t we had service accounts and machines identities for performing automated tasks for many years now? In fact, I was on a development team that produced what is now known as RPA tools that helped automate repetitive IT tasks; an area highly used by many enterprises.

DevOps teams are moving faster than ever deploying AI agents, orchestrating automated workflows, and scaling infrastructure across cloud platforms. But as speed increases, so does the attack surface. Traditional access models weren’t built for today’s dynamic, machine-heavy environments, and static privileges have become one of the biggest security liabilities in SaaS.

Microsoft highly recommends enabling MFA on all Entra ID users to protect their environment against potential attackers and avoid getting breached. This can cause a lot of issues and damage for the company from reputation problems to large fines. The latest figures from Microsoft Threat Intelligence research show that more than 99% of attacks are password attacks. Microsoft alone registers 7,000 password attacks per second!
