New Release Enables Improved Deployments,
Easier Management of Employee Changes, and Better Visibility into
Identity Data
Clear Skye® Inc. today announced the release of
Clear Skye IGA 5.1, an identity security and governance solution
built natively on the ServiceNow Platform. The new release enables
users to streamline deployments, easily manage employee changes,
and gain better visibility into identity data. The release also
includes an Oracle Fusion connector and improved troubleshooting,
among other improvements.
With an emphasis on simplifying workflows and increasing
productivity, while strengthening security protocols, the ideal
identity governance solution is one that can be deployed through an
organization’s existing business platform. In addition to providing
a single control point for all applications through automated
connectors and ITSM, security systems are synchronized and the user
experience is familiar, leading to broader engagement.
Clear Skye 5.1 enables customers to achieve this through:
- Streamlined Deployments and Upgrades: A new automated
test framework provides a standardized approach to regression tests
on configuration and customizations before Clear Skye and
ServiceNow initial roll-outs and upgrades. This enables fast defect
detection and reduced time for deployment/upgrade testing.
- Easily Managed Employee Changes: In addition to
onboarding and offboarding, employees, contractors, and vendors
frequently shift roles within an organization. To manage those
changes, 5.1 provides a simplified policy model to submit changes,
such as creating new identities and updating existing
profiles.
- Improved Visibility into Identity Data: New dashboards
provide a window into identities throughout an organization, while
new account-based reports draw attention to key areas of interest.
The updated dashboards also offer multi-responsive filters to help
zoom in on key areas.
Accelerated by digital transformation, many organizations are
defaulting to manual, inefficient processes, such as tracking in
Excel, or legacy identity solutions to keep up. However, this
approach simply can’t address the intricacies of modern hybrid and
SaaS-driven business environments. As a result, 50% of
organizations expect to integrate IGA with business and process
automation, according to research from ESG.
However, current SaaS solutions lack feature parity with
existing solutions and bring their own challenges with flexibility,
customization, and functionality. This challenges IT teams to
balance security and compliance with productivity and business
continuity. But multiple, siloed solutions and complex processes
are confusing, leading to shadow IT and rubber stamp approvals.
“Organizations need to understand and manage who has access to
what across their entire IT ecosystem, from cloud and on-premises
application stacks, to infrastructure and DevOps pipelines,” said
John Milburn, CEO, Clear Skye. “This is important from both a
security and compliance standpoint, as well as an employee
experience one. Our 5.1 improvements make this easier, faster, and
more cost-effective for those running their identity program on
ServiceNow.”
