The report provides an overview of the IGA market, as well as a compass to help businesses identify the right vendor and solution to meet their needs. By assessing the core capabilities of identity lifecycle management and access governance solutions, the report illustrates how each vendor is able to monitor, assess, and manage today’s identity-related risks.
