SailPoint's new security offering for simplified identity protection

SailPoint Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in enterprise identity security unveiled two sets of new offerings designed to give customers options as they build their identity programme while driving customer success throughout their identity journey.

First, the company is extending the family of SailPoint Identity Security Cloud offerings with a new Standard suite, giving customers three suite options – Standard, Business, and Business Plus. The Standard suite addresses the needs of companies at the outset of their identity security journey, with a select set of core capabilities that centralise identity-related data so companies can govern access for all enterprise identity types in a comprehensive, scalable way.

In tandem, the company also introduced a set of new customer success offerings that align with programme maturity, arming customers with expert-led advice and guidance based on SailPoint’s unmatched depth of knowledge from implementing thousands of successful enterprise identity programmes.

Identity security

SailPoint solutions address their current, and most importantly, company's future identity security needs"

“Identity security is all about the long game and should be approached both from a near-term business need and an aspirational one -- where will the business be in 2-4 years? No matter the answer to that question, the identity security solution you choose is critical to your company’s security over time,” said Matt Mills, President, of SailPoint.

“With SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, we’ve built the playbook for companies to grow their identity security programme alongside their business, arming them with solutions that address their current, and perhaps most importantly, their future identity security needs.”

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud is built on SailPoint Atlas, a unified multi-tenant SaaS platform, and includes SailPoint Atlas common services. It is designed to meet customers’ needs at every step of their identity security journey with each suite building on the previous, giving customers more advanced options as their identity landscape grows in size, scale, and complexity.

Each suite includes four key product modules that are essential to a scalable identity security programme: access modeling, lifecycle management, compliance management, and analytics.

Seamless user experience

SailPoint Identity Security Cloud focuses on thinking more about identity security"

“With SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, we’ve been able to focus our management and engineering team on thinking more about identity security, than customising the solution, writing the workflows, making the user experience seamless, all of that is managed by SailPoint,” said Prasad Tamhankar, Director of Information Security at ADP.

“We have had very positive feedback from our colleagues after we implemented SailPoint Identity Security Cloud,” explained Marcus Montelius, System Manager at Nordnet Bank.

Easy-to-use design

“The easy-to-use design for requests and certifications and the Slack integration has been very popular and much appreciated by our users. We have also improved drastically the implementation time of new integration with our internal application compared to our previous system."

"This is enabling us to extend the delivery of applications and requestable accesses which results in less access management manual work around the company.”
