The latest Micro Focus Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) Solution Set—featuring the integrated products NetIQ Identity Manager 4.7, Identity Governance 3.0, NetIQ eDirectory 9.1, and Validator 1.5—is now available. This release marks a significant step toward seamlessly integrating governance functionalities such as request, approval, control, and recertification of access rights with classic identity management, which manages users and their entitlements in a role-based manner and provisions them to connected target systems. Additionally, analytics tools offer the ability to identify, assess, and eliminate security risks in real time.

A brief overview of the new features already demonstrates the vast potential of the new IGA Solution Set. Identity Governance 3.0 now includes analysis capabilities for “what-if” simulations during entitlement assignments and enhanced role mining that incorporates not only technical but also business information. New functionalities in Identity Manager 4.7 greatly simplify the development and deployment of role-based target system integrations. NetIQ eDirectory 9.1 is now even more performant, includes improved auditing options and a redesigned user interface, and Validator 1.5 offers new wizards to help create custom test scenarios.

Customers already using a previous version of Identity Manager, Identity Manager Advanced Edition, or Access Review—the predecessor of Identity Governance—can benefit greatly from the new functionalities in the Identity Governance & Administration Solution Set.
