Authored by Grady Summers, Executive VP, Products For far too long, I have seen organizations and their IT teams rely on annual or quarterly certification campaigns to verify their users have the proper access.

One year ago, we launched our global Ideas Portal, a place for the SailPoint community to share ideas, observations and even vote on product updates and modifications. We essentially created a product democracy, driven in part that it is always my, and SailPoint’s, No. 1 priority to listen to our customers. So, we put a more formal and transparent process...

In the classic book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, a father and son take a cross-country motorcycle trip to connect. While the book is as philosophical as you can get, for today, I want to focus on one concept in the novel that resonated with me and how it applies to our technological innovation, particularly with identity security, in...

If anyone asks me about why I joined SailPoint almost a year ago, they’re going to get an earful about how all security starts with identity.  I've seen it for years: a breach that never would have occurred if the identity was properly secured. An intrusion that never would have become a headline if the identity had not been massively over-privileged....

If you hopped into a time machine and followed SailPoint’s journey in the last 15 years, you'll see that our approach to innovation has been integral in how we’ve constantly evolved identity security. Our goal is to meet and exceed our customers’ pressing identity needs year after year. It’s one of the main things that drew me to SailPoint when...

Streaming giant Netflix started in 1997 to humble beginnings. First, the company offered DVD rentals you could get by mail. Always the innovators, and realizing that snail mail wasn’t it, Netflix dropped this practice and started focusing their attention on creating their owned content available by streaming. While this was a great move for Netflix, all this content was too...

Humans have always been fascinated with space travel, and that’s why more than 10 million people tuned in earlier this year via livestream to watch NASA and SpaceX launch astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station (ISS). These two astronauts followed in the footsteps of others who have had the honor of traveling to the ISS, such as...
