Claim 7:
8. A method for risk detection using an identity management graph comprising:
accessing identity management data obtained from one or more source systems of an enterprise;
evaluating the accessed identity management data to determine a set of identity management artifacts associated with a set of identities and at least one entitlement, utilized in identity management in association with the enterprise;
generating an identity management graph from the identity management data by:
creating nodes of the identity management graph by creating a node of the identity management graph for each of the determined identity management artifacts associated with the determined set of identities,
creating edges identity management graph between nodes of the identity management graph representing the determined identity management artifacts, the creating including pruning one or more edges, and
generating weights for created edges of the identity management graph, based on the created nodes associated with the created edges in accordance with the associated set of identities or at least one entitlement;
storing the identity management graph in a data store;

analyzing the identity management graph or the identity management data to identify an anomaly; and
identifying an identity management artifact associated with the identified anomaly as a high risk identity management artifact.
