Remember that age-old SAT question: “if two speeding trains are heading in the opposite directions at different speeds on the same track, how long will it take for them to collide?” In many ways, this feels like the reality of enterprise IT today when it comes to SaaS application adoption. The use of SaaS applications continues to speed up, but the ability for companies to ...

It wasn’t just a keener eye on how efficiently workers were giv...
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. We often think that br...

The concept sounds simple, right? Give users a catalog of items to choose from, allow them to submit requests, and carry the request through necessary reviewers before granting the access.
