Workload Identity Governance and Administration or workload IGA encompasses the processes, technologies, and policies designed to manage, secure, and govern non-human identities, including applications, containers, APIs, microservices, and other software components. It extends traditional IGA principles—primarily focused on human users—into the domain of machine identities within modern cloud-native and hybrid environments. Workload IGA ensures the lifecycle management, compliance, and access control of these identities to enhance security and operational efficiency.
