Detailed overview of Identity Analytics feature and its configuration.

Overview

If you are using Enterprise or Compliance license of IBM Verify Identity Governance, then you can configure the Identity Analytics feature for your IBM Verify Identity Governance - Virtual Appliance.

Identity Analytics is a multi-purpose analytics engine that processes activity and entitlement data from a variety of sources, providing a 360-degree view of entitlement risks with the ability to take action based on those risk insights.
