Traditional IGA platforms like SailPoint and Saviynt govern access well for applications with modern APIs and SCIM, but they can't reach disconnected applications: the social, marketing, legacy, and on-prem tools that lack those integrations.

In the report's words, "Cerby augments existing IGA investments rather than replacing them," feeding entitlement data back into platforms like SailPoint and Saviynt so that provisioning, deprovisioning, and access certifications reach applications that were previously invisible.
