Identity at Scale

However, organizations may face challenges in finding a solution designed to meet the performance and scalability requirements needed to support accelerated growth and expansion. An identity governance solution that does not meet the needs of the organization not only leaves a gap in your security initiatives, but it also does not serve its purpose of enabling your company’s growth and success. 

As a pioneer of identity governance, SailPoint understands this challenge and has architected its solutions to support the largest identity deployments in the world, including millions of identities, tens of thousands of applications and tens of millions of fine-grained entitlements. We’ve optimized our solutions to give you both scalability and performance.

The proof of our scalability is represented by customers who have entrusted their infrastructure and identity governance initiatives to SailPoint. Here are just a few examples of customers who have deployed our solutions at large scale:

Identity at Scale.  How We Do It. 

SailPoint invests in its infrastructure and expertise to emulate and test real world performance and scalability use cases. We do this in a dedicated performance lab with a team who has this mantra: “Trim the sail, polish the hull and pick the fastest course.” In other words, we test to verify performance, diagnose trouble areas, research issues, refine the product and then test again to ensure performance is optimized so organizations can get the most out of their investment.

SailPoint’s performance lab uses a reference data set as the basis for performance testing of its market-leading identity governance product, IdentityIQ. This reference data set is designed to emulate the data and structure of a very large-scale enterprise environment. For the most recent release of IdentityIQ, the performance data set contained data spread across four application and connector technologies:

• A Human Resources Management System application named “HR” represented as a delimited file application, with 250,025 accounts 
• JDBC Connector, with 238,754 accounts and 873,912 identity entitlements 
• Active Directory, with 250,025 accounts and 374,180 identity entitlements 
• OpenLDAP, with 250,025 accounts and 1,124,228 identity entitlements 

In addition, we have explored a number of dimensions of scale in our lab:

• Large number of identities, with 2.5 million in that set 
• Large numbers of entitlements, with millions of entitlements spread across 250,000 identities

What this means for large organizations is that when they invest in SailPoint’s IdentityIQ, they can be confident that it has gone through the rigor and testing needed to meet today’s modern identity governance needs.

Open and Extensible Technology

At SailPoint, we deliver an integrated set of products to address identity governance challenges for medium and large enterprises. This set of products supports the most important aspects of identity governance, including provisioning, access request, compliance controls, password management, identity governance for data stored in files and identity analytics.

SailPoint solutions are built upon an open identity platform that can connect and integrate with all of your applications on premises and in the cloud, as well as share rich identity context information with your existing IT and security investments. This enables you to extend identity throughout your entire organization, providing better visibility and control. Additionally, SailPoint partners with industry leaders across a spectrum of technologies that enable organizations to integrate their entire infrastructure into our platform so that breaches can be better identified, mitigated and contained, and operations can be streamlined. 

Our open identity platform enables our solutions to accommodate customers as they grow, expand and respond to security, regulatory and competitive challenges. We believe our open identity platform is a critical, foundational layer of a modern cybersecurity strategy that complements and builds upon traditional perimeter- and endpoint-centric security solutions, which on their own are increasingly insufficient to secure organizations, and their applications and data.
