When it comes to identity management and governance conversations, the focus often falls on security, risk reduction, and regulatory compliance. These are all great reasons to embark on an identity management program, but what is often overlooked when it comes to identity governance is how it can enable businesses to be better businesses and effectively transform themselves digitally.

We caught up with Paul Trulove, chief product officer at SailPoint, fresh after his keynote address, The Future of Identity Governance.

At Navigate 2019, the presentations and the attendees tackled all...

Recently, this large, national bank decided to turn to robotic process automation as a way to help the bank streamline application and resource provisioning, which previously required time-consuming manual processes. We covered their move to robotic process automation in the post, National Bank Readies Itself for the Rise of Software Bots. Because implementing software bots is a new topic to many,...

It's spring, and the number of tasks seems never-ending. We get it, the weather is beautiful, and the house still needs to be cleaned, and the garage cleared out. It's not the time of year one often thinks about cleaning around the dusty corners of their identity and access management program. But it's a perfect time. As enterprises move forward,...
