Identity Governance Course

Modern security is identity-first. As cloud, SaaS, and distributed teams grow, organizations must clearly control who has access to what and why. This course introduces the fundamentals of Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) and shows how to move from manual access management to automated, audit-ready governance.

You’ll learn how IGA differs from IAM and PAM, design role-based access and SoD controls, automate Joiner–Mover–Leaver lifecycles, and align identity governance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. The course also covers identity risk analytics and demonstrates how Akitra Andromeda®, powered by Agentic AI, enables continuous compliance and Zero Trust at scale, helping you build a secure, future-ready IGA program.
