IBM Security Identity Governance & Intelligence Trial

Identity governance and administration (IGA) is a fundamental building block of your Identity & Access Management strategy. IGA tools manage digital identities and access rights across multiple systems and applications. They help you answer questions such as:

• How are you managing the provisioning and de-provisioning of access accurately and efficiently?
• How are you fulfilling regulatory compliance mandates?
• How are you handling access requests?

A new Identity Governance solution can be a large undertaking. That’s why we’ve put together a trial experience for you to test out the product first-hand. IBM Security now offers a complimentary 45-day trial of Identity Governance & Intelligence (IGI), our leading on-premise identity governance and administration solution. This trial allows you to experience key use cases within the product. To assist with your experience, this blog entry walks you through the exercises and tasks featured in the trial. This is a live and fully functional Identity Governance environment, with more than 2000 sample user records, roles, and risk definitions.
