Upgrade Your IGA to Autonomous Identity: Instant Intelligence, No Rip-and-Replace
Upgrade your existing IGA with Lumos — an autonomous AI layer that transforms stale access data into actionable governance. Speed up role mining, automate access reviews, detect anomalies in real time, and enforce least‑privilege – all without replacing your current setup.

For years, Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) has been a heavy lift. According to the 2025 Gartner® IAM Leaders’ Guide to Identity and Governance Administration, IGA is intricate, challenging and is often the most expensive component of an IAM program.
If you use traditional IGA platforms, you have a solid system of record. But you also likely have a backlog of manual work: stale roles, rubber-stamp access reviews, and "blind spots" where risk hides in the noise. The industry tells you the only way to fix this is a "rip-and-replace" – tearing out your infrastructure and starting a 12-month migration.
We disagree. You don’t need to replace your IGA; you need to augment it. You need an intelligence layer that turns static data into autonomous action.
Enter Lumos. Lumos plugs into your existing identity stack to deliver an immediate upgrade. We bring Agentic AI to your current platform, transforming it from a passive ledger into an active, reasoning security partner.
Here is how Lumos acts as a force multiplier for your existing IGA:
- Accelerate Role Mining
- End “Rubber-Stamping” with Agentic Access Reviews
- Find risks with Natural-language Anomaly Detection
- Surface insights with Natural‑Language Analytics
Accelerate Role Mining (From Months to Minutes)
Legacy IGA governs the mechanics, provisioning and deprovisioning, but it struggles to answer the fundamental question: Who should actually have access?
Traditional role mining is a nightmare of interviews, spreadsheets, and reconciling years of access debt. By the time a role model is built, it’s already stale.
The Agentic Upgrade:
Lumos performs agentic role mining on top of your IGA. Albus, our AI agent, analyzes HR attributes, usage data, and peer groups to propose clean RBAC/ABAC policies in minutes. You ask natural-language questions like “What’s the right access for a new engineer?” and Albus builds the matrix for you.
End the "Rubber Stamp" Era of Access Reviews
User Access Reviews (UARs) are the bane of the IAM manager’s existence. Reviewers drown in thousands of entitlements, leading to fatigue and the inevitable "approve all" just to close the ticket.
The Agentic Upgrade:
Albus streamlines reviews at scale. Instead of presenting a raw list, Lumos pre-analyzes every line item. It flags outliers, toxic combinations, and unused access before the human sees it. Humans approve; Lumos handles the analysis.
Find Risks Hidden in the Noise
Your IGA tool has the data, but it isn't built for real-time risk analysis. With millions of entitlements and endless logs, true anomalies – like excessive admin access or shadow IT drift – often go unnoticed until an audit (or an attacker) finds them.
The Agentic Upgrade:
Stop digging through logs. Just ask Albus.
- “What’s wrong with Salesforce access across different groups?”
- “Show me the riskiest AWS access.”
- “Who has admin access they shouldn’t?”
Lumos correlates usage, login behavior, and peer context to surface meaningful anomalies. We cut through the static to show you exactly where the risk is.
Surface Insights with Natural-Language Analytics
To get value out of most IGA platforms, you need SQL expertise or complex custom reports. This creates a bottleneck where stakeholders can't see the posture of the organization without submitting a ticket to the data team.
The Agentic Upgrade:
Lumos democratizes identity data and analytics. Executives get clear posture reporting, and IAM teams get operational dashboards and it is all generated via plain English. Lumos builds the visualization, picks the chart type, and keeps it refreshed. You go from data to decision in minutes, not days.
Modernize your IGA: Make Lumos Your Identity Co-Worker
Lumos isn't just a tool; it’s an agentic co-worker. It handles the contextual reasoning – spotting issues, drafting policies, and correlating risks – so you can focus on strategy.
Keep your IGA. Add the right intelligence. Modernize your Identity Management.
Bring your identity program into a new era. Reduce admin overhead, speed up productivity, and identify risks hidden in millions of entitlements.
