A security manager wants to ensure that new hires receive the necessary access permissions on their first day and that former employees no longer have valid credentials. Which process addresses these concerns effectively?
Reset passwords after people leave if they fail to surrender their username
Enforce a policy that retains all user accounts to preserve data for future requests
Link user permissions to position status changes reported by the HR system
Maintain a list of accounts in a schedule and review it once each quarter
Implementing an identity solution that ties user status updates to HR changes helps automate the entire life cycle. When hiring is recorded, accounts are created with the proper role-based privileges. When an employee leaves, their rights are quickly removed, preventing unauthorized access. Manual methods like spreadsheets can lag behind real-time changes, while resetting passwords or ignoring exit statuses can leave assets exposed. Automated revocation is more reliable and reduces stale accounts in the environment.
