Omada Governs Human Identity Lifecycle

Omada governs human identity lifecycle: provisioning and deprovisioning accounts based on HR events, running access certification campaigns, and managing role-based access controls for employees and contractors. Its cloud-native delivery model makes that governance faster to deploy and maintain than legacy on-premises IGA alternatives. That model is built around people, employment records, and a review cadence. The gap appears when the identity in question is not a person. Workload identities — microservices, AI agents, and CI/CD pipelines — operate on a deployment cadence rather than an HR cadence. They may exist for seconds, spin up thousands of times per day, and never appear in any HR system. Aembit governs runtime access for those non-human identities: policy-based, secretless, and attestation-driven. The two tools address different identity populations in the same enterprise and are both needed in a mature stack.

RELATIONSHIP DETAIL

Replaces

Aembit does not replace Omada. Omada governs human identity lifecycle and access certification, a problem Aembit was not designed to solve.

Integrates With

Organizations running Omada can use Aembit alongside it to govern the non-human identity layer that Omada cannot cover.

Aembit’s attestation-based audit logs for workloads and AI agents can feed the same SIEM and compliance workflows that Omada certification data already flows into. This produces a unified compliance picture across both identity types: Omada provides the human access review record, Aembit provides the runtime non-human access record, and both contribute to SOC 2, NIST SP 800-207, and PCI audit evidence without adding separate reporting overhead.

Works Alongside

Omada and Aembit govern different identity populations in the same enterprise environment.

Omada handles human identity: provisioning and deprovisioning accounts based on HR events, running access certification campaigns to verify that employees have appropriate access, enforcing role-based access controls, and producing the compliance evidence that regulated organizations need for audit cycles. Its cloud-native delivery model reduces the operational overhead of traditional on-premises IGA deployments while maintaining the lifecycle governance capabilities that enterprise compliance requirements demand.

Aembit handles the identity population that IGA tooling was not designed for: the services, AI agents, and pipelines that authenticate to systems without HR records, certification events, or employment records. These workloads have no joiner-mover-leaver equivalent. They are deployed and decommissioned on an engineering cadence, not an HR one, and no access certification campaign can meaningfully govern their access at the speed they operate.

There is also a specific risk that Omada cannot address: orphaned workload credentials. When a developer creates a service account or API key and later leaves the organization, Omada manages the human’s account through the leaver process but the machine credential typically persists indefinitely, with no owner and no review cycle. Aembit eliminates this structurally. Because Aembit-managed workloads use short-lived, attestation-bound credentials, there is nothing to orphan.

For every human identity your IAM program governs, there are roughly 82 machine identities operating outside it. Most of them authenticate with static credentials that were provisioned once and never reviewed.
