The rise of AI agents is transforming enterprise operations at an unprecedented pace, promising efficiency but also introducing complex, often unseen, risks. As autonomous entities increasingly log into systems, access sensitive data, and act on behalf of users, the traditional models of identity governance are being challenged. At SailPoint, we believe that innovation shou...
I’ve seen it time and again during my 25-year career in the identity space — technically focused teams, partners, or customers that underestimate the fact that identity security isn’t just an IT project, but rather a transformational business program, that adjusts or optimizes a multitude of business processes. That failure to understand the transformational aspects of a...
Organizations invest in identity security to solve measurable problems: reducing unauthorized access, improving audit readiness, strengthening operational efficiency, and limiting identity-related risk. However, what we’ve learned from working with hundreds of customers is that deploying technology is only the first step. Real value emerges when identity becomes an operatio...

In UK higher education, identity is often treated as a technical necessity — issuing accounts, resetting passwords, and removing access when someone leaves. In reality, identity is far more complex. Universities must govern access to students, staff, researchers, alumni, and external collaborators, many of whom hold multiple roles over time. Managing identity across this l...
Our AVP of Partners & Alliances EMEA, Remco Postma, recently sat down with Nancy Easton, Global Alliances COO from KPMG International to discuss the rapidly changing landscape of identity security. As the foundation of any secure organization, identity is no longer just about access—it is about business continuity, compliance, and enabling successful digital transformation....
Why managing third-party identities has become a board-level priority Cybersecurity programs have been historically designed to protect infrastructure — fortifying network boundaries, hardening endpoints, and closing technical vulnerabilities. But digital transformation is reshaping the architecture of risk. Cloud platforms, SaaS ecosystems, and expanding populations of ex...
When SailPoint launched GenAI Descriptions for Entitlements in early 2024, we knew we were entering uncertain territory. Generative AI was - and still is - a technology that promises a lot but can easily overpromise. The question we kept coming back to was: how do you earn trust with a technology that people associate with hallucinations and unpredictability? The answer, i...
