Speaker: Rich Manfredi Solutions Architect

Rich Manfredi breaks down the build versus buy decision for identity governance solutions in an LLM-driven world, explaining why building your own IGA with AI may seem fast and inexpensive but often creates long-term risk.

Main Takeaways

  • LLMs make it easier than ever to build custom tools, leading many teams to consider building their own IGA solution.

  • “Cheap” is often misleading. Initial development costs may be low, but long-term risk and rework can be significant.

  • Guardrails are essential in governance systems, and experienced vendors build these in by design.

  • Purpose-built IGA platforms follow industry best practices that DIY solutions often miss.

  • Edge cases are where most homegrown systems fail, especially without deep domain expertise.

  • Weak guardrails, missed edge cases, or nonstandard processes can create serious audit and compliance issues.

  • Buying a mature IGA solution reduces risk, ensures compliance alignment, and avoids costly mistakes over time.
