I read a very interesting Forrester report last week commissioned by Microsoft and RSA. It was based on a survey of 305 IT security decision makers and assesses data security practices at enterprises around the world. A key takeaway from the report is the fact that compliance, not security, drives […]
This morning, we announced a next generation provisioning product that builds on the governance framework provided by our core product, IdentityIQ. The announcement is a culmination of almost two years’ work internally at SailPoint, and we believe it represents an evolutionary shift in the provisioning market that will benefit any […]
As I sit here, winging my way back to Austin from the Gartner IAM Summit last week in London, I can’t help but reflect on how much the identity market has evolved since SailPoint attended the first European IAM Summit in 2008. In addition to the fact that the attendees […]
This week, several members of the SailPoint team made the annual trek to the industry’s biggest security event, the RSA Conference. As always, the conference was a high-paced mix of conference sessions, technology debates, and meetings with customers and partners. I’m always interested in what themes get the most play […]

It includes a slideshow of 2009’s largest security breaches, and concludes that this year alone, more personal information was exposed through data breaches than ever before.

Bravely taking on the 8 a.m. time slot (which was well attended for the early hour) was Andy Weeks, Risk and Compliance Manager for Humana. Andy gave a very compelling overview […]
