IGA: Internal Identities Are a Given, External Ones Are the Real Challenge – But True Security Requires Both

Managing External Identities Is a Special Challenge

When introducing a solution for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), many companies focus primarily on internal identities, meaning the administration of their own employees and their authorizations. But is this also the case for external identities?

Consultants, service providers and other external parties also require digital identities and corresponding authorizations. However, this is where particular challenges arise. In this webinar, you will learn how companies successfully overcome these challenges and securely manage external identities.

Many companies employ a large number of external specialists for temporary assignments. The well-known joiner-mover-leaver processes also apply to them, but on closer inspection, there are significant differences.

• Different Processes: The administration of external identities differs in many ways from that of internal employees.

• Regulatory Requirements: Regulations such as NIS-2, DORA or TISAX require special measures for external identities.

• Authorization Management: While internal employees often receive authorizations through business roles, the question arises as to whether these roles can also be used for external parties or whether separate roles are necessary.

• Record of External Identities: HR systems usually manage the core data of internal employees. But how are external identities documented and managed?

• Different Types of Contracts: External employees can be employed on a temporary basis or with service contracts – but how does their identity management differ?
