Omada, a global market leader in Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), offers a full-featured, enterprise-grade, cloud native IGA solution that enables organizations to achieve compliance, reduce risk, and maximize efficiency. Founded in 2000, Omada delivers innovative identity management to complex hybrid environments based on our proven best practice process framework and deployment approach. To ensure a successful IGA deployment, Omada provides an Identity Cloud Accelerator package that provides a reliable starting point for IGA projects with a standardized implementation approach for deployment, best-practice framework for process design, and training for efficient user adoption which organizations can deploy in 12 weeks.

Non-human identities now outnumber human users. Yet most IGA systems, built for a different era, leave them unmanaged, unowned, and dangerously exposed. Trying to force-fit NHIs into legacy IGA models only deepens the problem. Endless customization creates fragility, not flexibility.

The result is an expanding attack surface disguised as “identity management.” A different approach is required – one that abandons the illusion of control and embraces standardization, business alignment and agility as non-negotiables.

Watch this webinar to:

- Understand why traditional IGA deployments fail to keep up with the demands of non-human identity management.
- Learn how best practices and business alignment drive agility in modern IGA strategies.
- Discover the unique governance requirements of NHIs compared to human identities.
- Recognize the risks of unmanaged service accounts and how to mitigate them.
- Explore out-of-the-box functionalities that accelerate NHI management.
- Gain practical recommendations for avoiding the “flexibility trap.

Integrating Non-Human Identities Into Identity Governance Programs

Traditional access models – where permissions are granted and rarely revoked – are creating new vulnerabilities in an era of identity sprawl and AI-driven agents.

In this video interview with ISMG, Omada’s Craig Ramsay and Paul Walker explore why organizations are moving toward just-in-time access and what it takes to make Zero Trust work in practice.

You’ll learn:

- Why standing permissions have become an enterprise attack surface
- How to advance just-in-time access even with legacy systems in place
- The questions you should be asking about policy-based access and non-human identities
- How to drive adoption by meeting users where they work

Zero Trust Under Strain as Organizations Favor Just-in-Time Access

In today’s complex identity landscape, organizations face the challenge of managing access at scale while reducing risk and ensuring compliance. Traditional approaches to access governance often struggle to keep pace with the dynamic nature of modern enterprises.

This webinar will showcase how Omada’s ML-driven Access Intelligence empowers enterprises to gain deeper, actionable access insights. By leveraging machine learning, organizations can detect anomalies, identify toxic combinations (dangerous permission pairings that create security risks), and streamline role management with greater accuracy and speed.

Watch this webinar to learn how AI-powered access insights can help you:

- Simplify role design and optimization through data-driven recommendations.
- Strengthen security posture with proactive detection of risky access patterns.
- Enhance decision-making with intuitive, intelligent access reviews.
- Drive efficiency while reducing operational overhead.

Discover how Omada is shaping the future of intelligent identity governance, enabling organizations to balance security, compliance, and business agility.

Smarter Access Decisions: Harnessing AI & ML in Identity Governance

Credential theft, malicious insiders, orphaned accounts – identity-based attacks have become the leading cause of breaches, while regulatory pressures demand continuous proof of security controls.

Modern Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) has evolved from cumbersome, compliance-driven implementations into streamlined, automated defense systems that safeguard enterprises at scale.

In this webinar, Omada Field Strategist Thomas Müller-Martin reveals the 5 IGA Essentials to Strengthen Your Cybersecurity Strategy, a proven framework for transforming identity governance from reactive compliance to proactive threat prevention.
 
What you’ll learn:

- Recognize today’s most critical identity threats and their real-world impact on regulated enterprises
- Master the 5 IGA Essentials that enhance cybersecurity posture while simplifying operations
- See how modern IGA solutions automate threat detection, enforce least privilege, and scale across complex global environments

Watch to discover how leading organizations leverage these essentials to prevent breaches, maintain continuous compliance, and protect their most critical assets without sacrificing business agility.

The Cybersecurity Fast Track: 5 IGA Essentials to Reduce Risk

Modern organizations are dynamic, blending hierarchical and flat structures, often resulting in complex matrix organizations where people take on multiple roles and responsibilities. Yet most identity governance systems have limitations when it comes to modeling this complexity, relying on pre-defined data models or requiring costly development to extend them. The result? Gaps that weaken Zero Trust and Least Privilege enforcement, leaving your business exposed.

This webinar introduces Contextual Identity Governance, an approach that adapts to how people actually work today. You will learn how modern identity systems can handle users with multiple roles, flexible access needs, and changing responsibilities while staying secure and compliant.

This webinar covers:

- Why Least Privilege fails without understanding context
- How Zero Trust relies on real-time insights into user roles
- Why flexible and extensible identity models are critical for modern IGA
- How to make access decisions clear, trackable, and adaptable

Whether you are in security, IT architecture, or compliance, this session will help guide you in creating an identity governance framework that matches the real world and secures your Zero Trust strategy. You will also learn how Omada’s logical identity data model allows you to configure and extend contextual relationships directly in the browser – without coding, development tools, or database changes. These extensions are created and maintained within the product itself, enabling consultants & customers to model what matters most to the business with speed and precision without increasing maintenance.

Contextual Identity Governance for the Real World

As identity becomes the new security perimeter, the urgency to modernize identity governance is growing but evaluating IGA solutions can be complex, especially with evolving cloud architectures, regulatory demands, and rising security expectations.

In this practical session, Omada will walk through a framework for evaluating Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) solutions, grounded in real-world RFP guidance. You’ll learn how to frame your requirements, identify deal-breakers early, and ask the right questions to avoid costly missteps.

Attendees Will Learn:

• Key considerations for choosing a modern IGA solution (scalability, integration capabilities, usability etc.)
• Practical insights for comparing vendors
• Must-ask evaluation questions to uncover platform maturity and vendor fit
• Tips for selecting the right solution for your organization

Whether you're planning a formal RFP or assessing your current solution, this session will help you take a structured, security-aligned approach to choosing a modern IGA platform.
