Automates onboarding, role changes, and offboarding through integration with HR and business systems.

Privileged Access Management (PAM)

Control and monitor access to critical systems and sensitive data.

Identity Governance and Administration (IGA)

Automates provisioning and ensures compliant access.

Identity federation and trusted access
