Making sure the right access is granted at the right moment isn’t just a security problem. It has a direct impact on organizational productivity. When identity and access governance operates as a disconnected silo: → onboarding slows down → approvals become bottlenecks → users lose visibility → operations become fragmented That’s why organizations are rethinking identity governance on ServiceNow. In this week's webinar, Clear Skye's Attila Winter and Péter N. from BitKnights Solutions discuss how bringing identity closer to the operational workflows, services, and systems already running the enterprise helps organizations become: • More productive • More agile • More secure We’ll also explore Clear Skye’s explain-first approach to AI—using AI not to automate decisions, but to help teams better understand access, approvals, and governance workflows. 👉 Join us this Thursday 5/21 — register here: https://lnkd.in/estz_StX

Most identity programs don’t struggle because of a lack of tools. They struggle because identity is disconnected from how the business actually runs. Access decisions depend on: → services  → systems  → workflows  → people But too often, identity lives somewhere else entirely. That’s where friction starts. At Clear Skye, we’re taking a different approach: 👉 Bring identity onto the same platform that already runs the enterprise—ServiceNow In this joint webinar with BitKnights Solutions, we’ll show how organizations are: • Using CMDB data to improve access visibility  • Running joiner, mover, leaver processes as real workflows  • Making identity part of the same experience as work It’s a simpler model—but a more powerful one. If you’re rethinking identity governance on ServiceNow, this is a good place to start. 👉 Register for the first session: https://lnkd.in/estz_StX

At Knowledge26, we’re focused on a simple idea: Identity governance shouldn’t feel harder than the rest of ServiceNow. Today, users can ask Now Assist: → What’s happening with my ticket? → What’s blocking progress? → What should I do next? But in identity? Too often, the answer is: “Let me dig into that…” Clear Skye is changing that. We’re extending Now Assist into identity governance workflows—bringing: • Clear explanations of access decisions • Real-time request insights • Context for approvers and reviewers All in a way that’s: Explainable. Read-only. Auditable. It’s not about automating decisions. It’s about making them easier to understand. If you’re at Knowledge26, stop by the AI Innovation Center.

Identity governance has an uncomfortable truth: You can automate everything… and still not understand anything. That’s where most programs get stuck. Approvals without context. Audits without clarity. Investigations that take hours (or days) to piece together. At Knowledge26, we’re talking about a different model: 🔹 Don’t automate the decision 🔹 Automate the understanding behind it That’s the idea behind relationship-aware investigation and explain-first AI. It’s a subtle shift—but it changes everything. Here’s how we’re thinking about it — read more in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/epcq2PAH

Most identity teams are dealing with two constant challenges: ▪️ getting applications onboarded into governance faster ▪️ spending less time helping users navigate the IGA process That’s where a lot of the real friction lives. Not in policy—but in the day-to-day effort required to make identity governance actually work. That’s what we focused on in Clear Skye IGA 5.4. This release is designed to make identity governance: ▪️ faster to implement ▪️ easier to operate ▪️ more scalable in real environments From streamlined application onboarding… to improvements in access request and review experiences… to major performance gains across the platform… And yes—introducing practical AI to help identity teams understand access faster (not automate decisions). Because better identity outcomes don’t come from adding more features. They come from reducing the effort it takes to run governance every day.

ServiceNow’s acquisition of Veza is one of the clearest signals yet that #identity is becoming central to the enterprise platform. For years, #identitygovernance lived in disconnected tools. Meanwhile the workflows that actually depend on identity—#ITSM, #riskmanagement, #securityoperations, employee #lifecycle events—continued to run on platforms like #ServiceNow. That architectural gap created friction everywhere. Now the industry is shifting. As organizations adopt automation and #AI #agents, identity is expanding beyond people. It now includes machine identities, service accounts, and automated agents acting across enterprise systems. That raises a bigger question: Where should identity governance actually live? At Clear Skye, we’ve believed for more than a decade that identity governance belongs directly on the ServiceNow platform—where workflows, approvals, investigations, and compliance processes already operate. ServiceNow’s latest move reinforces how important identity is becoming to the platform ecosystem. We share a few thoughts on what this shift means for the identity community in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/e5WbpaWJ

ServiceNow owners are under pressure to drive more value from the platform. More adoption. More cross-team collaboration. Stronger renewal justification. But one of the most powerful use cases often sits just outside the core conversation: Identity governance. When access requests, certifications, and lifecycle changes live in disconnected tools, IT, security, and compliance stay misaligned — even if they’re all using ServiceNow in some capacity. We just published a new article on how identity workflows can bridge ITSM, SecOps, and GRC turning identity from a siloed function into a shared operational foundation.

Modernizing identity governance shouldn’t feel like a high-risk operation. Yet for many CIOs and CISOs, that’s exactly how it feels: 🔹 Downtime risk 🔹 Audit exposure 🔹 Broken access 🔹 Change fatigue 🔹 Operational disruption So modernization gets delayed even when everyone knows it’s needed. We just published a new article on how leading organizations are modernizing identity incrementally and safely by embedding governance into the platforms they already run. 🔗 Modernizing Identity Without Disrupting the Business https://lnkd.in/gNUKxJsz It’s about reducing risk while moving forward without “big bang” migrations or unnecessary complexity. If identity modernization is on your 2026 roadmap, this may help reframe the approach. #IdentityGovernance #CISO #IAM #CyberSecurity #ServiceNow #DigitalTransformation #ZeroTrust

Identity is the new perimeter. We’ve all heard it. We’ve all said it. But if that’s true, why do identity, security, and compliance still operate as separate systems of action? Many organizations believe they’ve consolidated identity and security. In reality, they’ve often consolidated tools — not architecture. Access, governance, threat response, and compliance still live in different workflows, data models, and accountability structures. That fragmentation doesn’t just create friction. It creates risk. Read our latest article exploring why identity and security can’t simply be “integrated” anymore — they have to converge at the platform level. 🔗 When Security, Compliance, and Identity Finally Converge https://lnkd.in/eWcJem8X For CIOs and CISOs navigating identity-driven risk, this shift isn’t theoretical. It’s architectural — and overdue.

A new year usually brings the same question for ServiceNow owners: 👉 How do we get more value from the platform we already have? For many organizations, the answer isn’t another module or tool — it’s an overlooked use case hiding in plain sight: identity governance. When identity runs outside the platform, you miss an opportunity to drive adoption, unify workflows, and strengthen your renewal story. When it runs on the platform, identity becomes a multiplier for HR, IT, security, and compliance. We published a new blog to kick off 2026 exploring a simple idea: Your ServiceNow license already contains an untapped goldmine. 🔗 The Untapped Goldmine in Your ServiceNow License: Identity Governance https://lnkd.in/eNFTiTta If 2026 is about consolidation, clarity, and maximizing platform value, identity governance belongs on the roadmap.
