Identity governance
Target Pattern Drift
Target Pattern Drift is the gradual loss of alignment between application onboarding decisions and the intended IAM target architecture.
Definition
Target Pattern Drift happens when one exception after another moves the onboarding practice away from the preferred architecture. Over time, the target model remains documented on paper while the real landscape diverges into a patchwork of local compromises and inconsistent controls.
The Ariovis perspective
Migration choices should reflect application criticality, hosting, protocol support and operational readiness. Ariovis favors progressive onboarding over a big-bang assumption.
