"By using roles to request, approve and certify user access privileges, BNSF will be able to simplify its user administration and compliance processes. SailPoint IdentityIQ will allow us to enforce and verify role-based access across our critical enterprise applications using a streamlined, automated approach." Bart Boudreaux, Director, Technology Services, BNSF Railway "SailPoint helps us define the connection between user access, financial control and intellectual property protection. Their risk-aware approach focuses on the relative risks associated with user access within our business." Russ Finney, Vice President of U.S. Information Systems operations for Tokyo Electron, U.S. Holdings "Businesses that are concerned with compliance mandates and ensuring the security and integrity of their IT systems cannot afford 12 to 18 month deployments. With IdentityIQ, organizations can gain immediate payback from automating key governance processes to better address business risk." Kevin Cunningham, Co-Founder and President, SailPoint "As a publicly-traded company and financial services provider, we are subject to a variety of regulations including FISMA, SOX, PCI, and SAS 70. To meet these requirements, we are standardizing and automating our compliance processes for identity management, so that we can centrally control who gets access to sensitive resources and maintain compliance as the organization changes over time. This centralized and automated approach allows us to proactively address risk and more efficiently maintain a compliant, secure environment." Jerry Archer, Chief Security Officer, Sallie Mae |
IT Risk ManagementProtecting information assets – and the business as a whole – requires a way to identify, assess and take the necessary steps to reduce IT-related risk to an acceptable level. However, many organizations neglect to perform any sort of risk assessment for identity compliance because they have no way to tie business risk information to low-level identity data. Plus, most companies have tens of thousands of employees, thousands of systems and gigabytes of data spread across multiple geographies. As a result, they have no way to focus resources or efforts based on business risk. These companies fall into the trap of applying compliance monitoring and controls across the board to all users and all applications. However, all users are not the same. Treating them as such results in a "boil the ocean" approach that leaves many businesses crippled under the weight of their compliance or governance initiatives. IdentityIQ is packed with features designed expressly for identity risk management. Using IdentityIQ's risk modeling capabilities, businesses can assign a unique multi-factor score to specified users. Scores are based on multiple factors – everything from basic profile and job function data to assessment of complex user privilege information mined from the IT environment. The IdentityIQ risk model combines this business risk information with technical knowledge about systems, data and applications – then generates a graphical snapshot that pinpoints areas of greatest risk. Armed with this information, organizations can then focus their risk-management efforts strategically, track progress and provide quantifiable proof of enhanced security and reduced risk to the business over time. |
