IAM Today Spotlights Top IGA Trends for 2023: AI, Cloud Solutions, and Risk-Based Approaches Lead the Way

IAM Today, serving identity and access management (IAM) professionals has delved into the critical identity governance and administration (IGA) trends that will shape the landscape in 2023. The article casts a spotlight on several key developments, including the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into IGA practices, the rising popularity of cloud-based IGA solutions, and the increasing need for organizations to adopt a risk-centric approach in managing identities and access.

IGA, a subset of IAM, is focused on overseeing the governance, compliance, and administration of digital identities and access rights, encompassing users, applications, and data. It plays a pivotal role in ensuring that only authorized users gain access to the appropriate resources while protecting against unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security risks.

The article underscores that IGA is undergoing rapid evolution, driven by shifting business environments and the emergence of new technologies. It anticipates a significant role for AI and ML in the IGA landscape throughout 2023. These technologies empower machines to learn from data and execute tasks that typically require human intelligence.

The expectation is that AI and ML will enable greater automation and optimization of various IGA processes. These encompass identity lifecycle management, access request and approval, access certification and review, role mining and engineering, as well as anomaly detection and remediation. 

IAM Today also predicts a surge in the adoption of cloud-based IGA solutions in 2023. These solutions are delivered as services via the internet, departing from traditional on-premise installations. Moreover, the solutions align well with the growing trend of hybrid work environments, accommodating users accessing resources from diverse locations and devices.

IAM Today highlights the increasing importance of adopting a risk-focused approach to IGA in 2023. Such an approach places a primary emphasis on identifying and mitigating the most critical and relevant risks associated with identity and access management. This shift is driven by the escalating complexity of cyber threats and regulatory requirements. A risk-based approach is seen as a means for organizations to achieve better business outcomes by aligning IGA strategies with overarching business objectives. A competitive edge can be maintained in 2023 by enhancing security postures, elevating compliance performance, and streamlining operational efficiency.
