Governance Platform : Identity Warehouse

Understanding identity management has never been simple. With hundreds of applications and thousands of users, things tend to get complicated. For many organizations, identity and access information is fragmented in application silos. And, with high levels of employee and contractor churn, it's difficult to keep up with changes to this information. Enter the Identity Warehouse.

The Identity Warehouse is at the core of the IdentityIQ Governance Platform serving as the central repository for identity and access data across all enterprise IT applications in the datacenter and the cloud. The warehouse is populated by importing user data from any authoritative source (e.g., HRMS) and user account and entitlement data from business applications, databases, platforms, and other systems.

During the import process, IdentityIQ leverages a powerful correlation engine to link individual accounts and entitlements with a user's Identity Cube – a unique representation of each individual and their associated access. Identity Cubes provide a
multi-dimensional view of a user's access within the enterprise, including: identity attributes, enterprise roles and entitlements, as well as historical access information, activity data, and risk metrics. By allowing the organization to view identity data from different perspectives and to discern previously undiscovered relationships between data items, Identity Cubes offer deliver unmatched visibility.

Create a Centralized View of Identity Data across Enterprise Resources

The Identity Warehouse centralizes technical identity data and transforms it into rich, business-relevant information that is leveraged for both compliance and provisioning activities enabling organizations to:

• Centralize visibility and control of identity information
• Make more strategic decisions by analyzing identity data from sources all across the enterprise
• Provide a single repository of identity data to support access certifications, role mining, and analytics and reporting
• Leverage consistent identity data across all identity management business processes
