Employee offboarding should be straightforward: permissions revoked, accounts disabled, risks mitigated. In reality, the process is far more complex. Secret exposure, stale accounts and forgotten identities often linger, becoming hidden vulnerabilities that expose organizations to security risks and compliance failures.

This session explores the lifecycle of an employee’s digital identity and the challenges organizations face in ensuring a clean break. From identifying unused accounts to understanding ownership and impact, we’ll uncover why cleaning up NHI access is often more than just a "click and delete" task. Without context and visibility, even the simplest offboarding can lead to lingering risks.

Attendees will gain actionable insights into building a scalable, vendor-agnostic framework for cleaning up stale and orphaned identities, detecting and decommissioning anything exposed to a leaving employee, and improving identity hygiene. By integrating proactive governance, clear ownership, and context-aware processes, organizations can close the loop on offboarding while enhancing security and operational efficiency.
