❓ What is Offboarding?
Offboarding is the process of revoking all system access, deactivating accounts, recovering devices and credentials, and removing entitlements for employees, contractors, or partners who are leaving the organization.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
Triggered by HR termination events, the IGA system automatically disables all accounts, revokes SSO sessions, removes group memberships, notifies PAM to rotate vaulted credentials, and generates a deprovisioning audit trail.
📍 Where Is It Used?
Every organization — improperly offboarded accounts are one of the top sources of insider threat and unauthorized access.
