SAP IAG Identity Access Governance | SAP Security Expert

SAP Identity Access Governance (IAG) is a cloud-native SaaS solution built on the SAP Business Technology Platform designed to govern identity and access across hybrid enterprise environments. It serves as a modern cloud companion or successor to SAP GRC Access Control. SAP IAG provides intelligent access analysis, segregation of duties (SoD) checks, role design utilities, and automated access request provisioning for both cloud systems (like SuccessFactors, S/4HANA Cloud, BTP) and on-premises systems. Leveraging machine learning and predictive analytics, IAG automates risk analysis and streamlines compliance workflows, helping security administrators secure user access with minimal manual overhead. Explore our practical tutorials, integration blueprints, and deployment best practices for setting up, configuring, and maximizing the value of SAP IAG in your hybrid enterprise identity landscape.
