Digital Identity by Deloitte

As organizations transitioned to remote work and cloud computing, their traditional identity and access management systems have no longer met expectations, organisations have suddenly had to find new ways to authenticate employees, verify identities, confirm network permissions and detect intrusion attempts. They weren’t consistently successful, which is partly why cyberattacks escalated suddenly throughout 2020.

In response, regulators around the world began tightening local privacy and data protection rules, making it difficult for companies to comply with the already complex regulations. Add in a low digital identity maturity, and poorly implemented systems, and it comes as no surprise that digital identity has become a source of major organizational frustration.

Digital Identity by Deloitte was designed to resolve those issues. By bringing together experienced identity specialists, market-leading technology, and proven, agile processes, we’ve created a solution that allows clients to strengthen their security posture within a reasonable period of timeframe, while reducing implementation risk, improving cost efficiencies, and enhancing digital identity maturity.

Identity and Access Management consists 6 sub-areas, each with its own focus and capabilities. Both industry analysts and vendors manage the area along these sub-areas.
 

IGA services

IGA (Identity Governance and Administration) is a subset of the above division that focuses on identity administration, access control and role-based access management. The main goal here is to establish a centralized and automated management of access requests, and to gain full control and visibility over user privileges.

From the end-user perspective, the aim is to provide a unified user experience when accessing different applications and systems.
