A new alliance targets the applications that identity governance programs routinely miss — no custom code or APIs required.
FL, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Cork, Ireland — October 23, 2026 — The gap between what identity governance platforms can manage and the systems they cannot reach has long been a source of risk. One Identity and READI have announced a technology alliance designed to close that “last mile” of identity governance, enabling joint customers to bring their most difficult-to-connect applications — legacy, terminal, and specialized systems — under full governance without custom code.
That last mile is precisely where risk tends to lurk. Most enterprises govern only a fraction of their critical applications through their IGA platform; the rest are managed by spreadsheet, by service-desk ticket, or not at all. Every ungoverned system is a blind spot — an account that should have been deprovisioned, an access grant no one certified, an audit finding waiting to happen.
The alliance pairs the One Identity unified identity governance suite, which spans Identity Governance and Administration, Privileged Access Management, and Active Directory Management and Security, with READI’s Smart Connector technology. Where standard connectors stop, READI’s AI computer-vision engine takes over — it operates web, Win32, terminal, mainframe, and cloud applications the way a person would, then automates provisioning, deprovisioning, certification, and remediation across them.
For joint customers, this means one governed estate instead of two. Disconnected systems come under the same provisioning, certification, and audit reporting as everything else — no scripting, no rip-and-replace.
“Enterprise identity programs have made major investments in governance, but the last mile is where risk and inefficiency hide. Legacy systems and manual edge cases are exactly what traditional IGA tools can’t reach. Adding READI’s automation gives customers a way to close that gap without ripping out what already works.”
— Larry Chinski, Global Vice President of Enterprise Strategy, One Identity
“Our mutual partners now have a formally supported joint offering — and a validated answer to the connectivity gap that has scoped down too many identity programs for too long. The consultancies and integrators already working across both ecosystems can bring this to clients with confidence.”
— Mike Gray, VP of Sales & Alliances, READI
The integration is available to joint customers through both companies’ existing partner programs. The companies will also pursue joint integration work, shared go-to-market initiatives, and co-branded resources. Additional technical details will follow in the coming weeks.

Most IGA programs miss the apps without connectors. See how READI Smart Connector brings disconnected applications into governance, no RPA required.
Why it matters: Every ungoverned application is a potential entry point for attackers, and this alliance gives enterprises a practical path to close that gap without replacing existing infrastructure. By automating governance for legacy systems, organizations can finally achieve a truly comprehensive identity security posture.
