The main goal of this article is to examine how artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in advancing identity governance. The speed of global digital change is accelerating, and businesses are under increasing pressure to guarantee that their technology can keep up with the times. Today's headlines often include stories about high-profile data leakage, which have a significant impact on a company's image and financial health. The moment has come for businesses to invest in AI-powered identity security to remain abreast of security and compliance risks. Information technology, a shifting workforce, and an onslaught of compliance regulations have brought an unprecedented number of users, points of access, apps, and data, to the point that IT departments are struggling to stay up. A human-centric approach to identity security can only scale so far, and with it comes inaccuracy in risk identification. Security requirements are becoming more complicated, decentralized, and integrated with business operations, owing to new methods of working enabled by cloud technology. This implies that robust identity governance and access control are more critical than ever. In this paper, we examine the current status of the information technology environment and explain how artificial intelligence will help companies address their present issues relating to identity governance.
