The future of security is adaptive identity

The world enterprises operate in today is not static—it is profoundly dynamic. Workforces are in constant flux, applications multiply into the thousands, and digital workers now outnumber human workers many times over. In this environment, the long-standing disconnect between identity and security can no longer be tolerated. At SailPoint, we believe the only way forward is...

But with that central role comes complexity, and too often, a lack of clarity. Ask yourself: Who really has access to what? How did they get it? Is it appropriate? If you hesitate to answer, you’re not alone. Most...

Beyond 98%: Achieving certainty in non-employee identity security

Enterprises increasingly rely on third-party access. For contractors, vendors, and partners, these non-employee identities are essential for business agility and growth.

Machine identities don't take PTO, but their owners do: Why shared ownership and succession planning are critical

Machine identities, like service accounts and bots, are the tireless workhorses of the digital world. They don't take PTO, never call in sick, and operate 24/7/365. Our digital workforce never sleeps, ensuring seamless operations and constant productivity. But here's the catch: these tireless machines don't govern themselves. They rely on human oversight to ensure they're ...

Why identity must evolve: Introducing SailPoint Atlas advanced functionality
