This is Part 3 of our Microsoft Entra Identity series. Find Part 1 here, and the second installment, here. Look for a new installment every week.
In every company, personnel changes are inevitable. New employees are onboarded, existing ones change roles, and eventually, some leave for new opportunities. Effective management of access to business-critical systems during these transitions is crucial.
Traditionally, many IT departments have relied on a combination of manual steps, email requests, and ticketing systems to manage identity lifecycle events. This method can be time-consuming, prone to errors, and risky. Microsoft Entra ID now includes Lifecycle Workflows, a built-in solution designed to automate these processes and address these issues.
This blog aims to provide decision-makers such as CIOs, CISOs, IT managers, and compliance leaders with a clear, non-technical justification for investing in automating identity governance.
