5 Reasons IGA Programs Fail

By Jackson Shaw, CSO, Clear Skye

Identity governance and administration (IGA) is a critical part of modern business. It’s one of the single
most important pieces of creating and balancing a productive and secure work environment. With a
reputation like that, IGA should be the star of the show. Yet, for many, it’s simply a box to check or an
afterthought. Perhaps that’s why so many IGA programs fail. But there’s no time like the present to turn
it around and start realizing true business value from your identity solution.

Make no mistake, running a successful IGA program requires effort. That effort, when done right, can
both protect and accelerate your business. At a time when data is both a prized asset and a potential
liability, IGA is the key to safeguarding one and unlocking the other. So, as you embark on your IGA
journey, consider these five common roadblocks to a successful identity program and how you can flip
the script.
