NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Identity-related incidents now account for the majority of security breaches, not because organizations lack policies, but because their governance tools can’t keep pace with how people and systems actually operate.

Omada Identity Cloud addresses this directly, reducing identity risk by 75% and cutting audit preparation time in half for the organizations that deploy it. Rather than enforcing static role assignments that grow stale as responsibilities shift, Omada introduces Contextual Identity Governance, a fundamentally different approach that governs access based on how work actually gets done. Duties, projects, data domains, regional constraints, and Separation of Duties rules are built into the governance model as active elements, not afterthoughts. Access requests carry their full business context to reviewers. When a project ends, access ends with it.

Alongside this, Access Intelligence creates a continuous loop of discovery, analysis, and action, replacing the periodic, reactive audit cycle that leaves organizations overentitled for months at a time. Rather than surfacing risk after the fact, Access Intelligence detects dormant accounts, outlier permissions, and unusual access combinations as they emerge, and connects those findings directly to governed remediation workflows. Role simulations allow security teams to validate changes before deployment.

Javi, Omada’s AI assistant, makes governance actionable within the tools security and operations teams already use. Embedded in Microsoft Teams and Slack, Javi enables managers to review findings, initiate access reviews, and approve or revoke entitlements without navigating separate dashboards. Audit-ready compliance reports are generated on demand through natural language queries. The result: a 50% reduction in audit preparation time and a 60% decline in IT support tickets, governance that is faster to run and easier to sustain.

Machine learning powers role discovery and ongoing role optimization, analyzing real usage patterns and peer group behavior to surface recommendations rather than requiring manual modeling. This reduces overprovisioning systematically, not just at deployment.

With more than 20 years of IGA expertise codified into its IdentityPROCESS+ framework, Omada delivers full deployment within 90 days through its Accelerator Package, a guaranteed, fixed-scope implementation built on proven best practices. This directly addresses one of the most persistent obstacles to effective identity governance: implementations that drag on so long that the organization changes before the program is even live.
