From App Sprawl to Control:  
Application Onboarding and Lifecycle Governance in Entra ID

📅 Wednesday, August 26, 2026
🕰️ 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET
🌐 Microsoft Teams Webinar


Application onboarding is only the beginning of the identity security lifecycle. As SaaS usage, app registrations, service principals, and third-party integrations grow, many organizations lose visibility into who owns an application, what it can access, and whether it should still exist.

Weak onboarding processes, unclear ownership, stale access, excessive permissions, and incomplete offboarding create orphaned applications and unmanaged identity pathways.

Join Nicolas Blank, Alistair Pugin, and guest Merill Fernando for a practical discussion on building stronger application governance in Microsoft Entra ID as a critical part of a modern security posture, from onboarding through the application lifecycle.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • What good application governance should establish at onboarding
  • How to define clear business and technical accountability for applications
  • Where lifecycle gaps create operational and security risk
  • How to govern credentials, permissions, and access throughout an application’s life
  • Which Entra ID controls support governance, and where additional visibility and processes are needed
