Identity and Access Governance
Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) advisory services provide guidance on managing and controlling user access to critical information within an organization. These services focus on ensuring that the right individuals and machines have the appropriate access to the necessary resources, and that these access privileges are managed effectively throughout their lifecycle1.
Key components of IGA advisory services include Identity Lifecycle Management, Access Governance, Integration with source and target systems, and compliance and risk management.
Advisory services in this area can help organizations implement best practices, embrace new capabilities such as identity analytics for more autonomous and predictive governance2, and create an IGA capability that delivers value to key stakeholders within the enterprise3. They can also assist in selecting the best-fit providers and tools.

Externalized Authorization Management
Externalized Authorization Management (EAM), also known as Dynamic Authorization Management, is a method of managing access control where decisions are made by a central decision point that is decoupled from the application. This approach separates policy management from the application lifecycle.
In EAM, the system interrogates an information point, typically a directory, to determine a user’s access rights based on a centrally managed policy³. The authorization logic is decoupled from the software code, following in the footsteps of other externalized functionalities, such as authentication, logging, and data storage.
The architecture of EAM typically consists of an external authentication layer and an external authorization module. All applications interact with these components on a transactional basis. The eXtensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) architecture was designed to be a standard for externalized authorization but nowadays other standards are evolving.
EAM provides fine-grained policy management, enforcement, and decision modeling for applications, services, and infrastructure. It offers several benefits, including centralized policy management, where policies for all services or applications can be added, changed, and managed from one central plane. This approach is particularly beneficial in dynamic, fast-paced cloud environments.
