Challenge & solution

Orchestrate security with identity

Identity and security teams rely on disconnected tools and manual processes, making it difficult to coordinate response across systems. Delayed actions, limited context, and static controls leave organizations exposed to fast-moving identity-based threats.

Coordinate identity security actions at scale to:

  • Fuse identity and security context for better access decisions.

  • Orchestrate automated adaptive access responses using real-time security signals and event triggers.

  • Enforce consistent policy actions without manual intervention.

  • Reduce response time with event-driven identity workflows.

  • Scale coordinated security actions across the ecosystem.

Real-time identity with shared signals

Learn how SailPoint uses the Shared Signals Framework for real-time identity insights, enabling faster response to risk.

Use cases

Risk-aware access decisions in real time

These use cases show how SailPoint embeds real-time security intelligence into access decisions. By orchestrating identity workflows with SIEM, XDR, and ITDR signals, organizations adapt approvals to risk, reduce exposure, and enforce consistent, context-aware security at scale.

Automate identity response to threat signals

By dynamically integrating SailPoint with security tools through the Shared Signals Framework, organizations transform identity governance into an adaptive, intelligence-driven control. Real-time threat signals—categorized by severity—automatically trigger identity actions, dramatically reducing response time and limiting exposure. Governance policies adjust dynamically as risk changes, enabling context-aware decisions instead of static rules. The result is faster containment, fewer false positives, and a smarter balance between strong security and uninterrupted productivity.

Risk-informed access approvals

SailPoint embeds real-time security intelligence directly into access approvals through orchestration workflows. By integrating with SIEMs, ITDR tools, endpoint and device management systems, and other security platforms, access decisions dynamically adapt to current risk. Requests trigger conditional approval paths based on live signals where high-risk devices or anomalous behavior can escalate or block access, while low-risk scenarios move through streamlined or automated approvals. Medium and high-risk signals invoke layered workflows with added oversight or temporary restrictions. This approach ensures access decisions reflect what’s happening in the environment, aligning identity governance with security operations to reduce exposure without sacrificing efficiency.

Security infrastructure, explained

Why is dynamic security infrastructure important?

Security infrastructure enables dynamic orchestration of risk signals between identity and security teams, empowering swift action to counter modern threats that outpace human-led processes. Attackers exploit automation, and rapidly changing conditions, while manual reviews and static controls create dangerous delays. Dynamic security orchestration closes this gap by automatically translating real-time security signals into coordinated identity actions—reducing exposure, accelerating containment, and ensuring access decisions continuously adapt as risk evolves across the environment.

How does identity power the SailPoint security infrastructure?

Identity delivers the essential context that drives effective security orchestration. By understanding who a user is, what access they have, how they obtained it, and their current risk posture, identity enables security actions to be precise, targeted, and policy-driven. Instead of broad, disruptive responses, organizations can take intelligent actions—such as escalating approvals, limiting access, or triggering remediation—based on real identity context. This allows security teams to act with confidence, balancing strong protection with productivity and ensuring responses align with business intent.

What types of actions can be orchestrated automatically?

A wide range of automated responses are dynamically orchestrated based on identity and risk context. Actions can include revoking or suspending access, escalating approvals, enforcing step-up authentication, restricting sessions, applying temporary access limits, or notifying security teams. These actions can be layered, conditional, and time-bound—ensuring the right response is applied at the right moment without manual intervention.

Can orchestration adapt based on risk severity?

Yes, workflows dynamically branch based on signal severity, identity risk, and business context. Low-risk scenarios may proceed with minimal friction, while medium- and high-risk signals trigger additional controls, layered approvals, or automated containment. This adaptive approach balances security and productivity by applying the right response at the right time.

How is policy enforced?

Policy is enforced through automated, event-driven workflows that translate identity and security policies into consistent, repeatable actions across systems. When defined conditions are met—such as elevated risk, access misuse, or policy violations—workflows automatically apply the appropriate controls without manual intervention. This ensures policies are executed uniformly every time, reducing human error, eliminating delays, and keeping enforcement aligned with real-time context rather than static rules or ad hoc decisions. SailPoint also uses LLMs to generate clear, human-readable entitlement descriptions, helping reviewers and requesters quickly understand what access actually provides—reducing confusion, improving decision accuracy during certifications and requests, and lowering the risk of over-privileged access.

Are these dynamic workflows auditable?

Yes. All automated access decisions and actions are fully logged, creating a complete audit trail for investigations, compliance reporting, and regulatory audits. This visibility helps organizations demonstrate policy adherence, understand incident response actions, and continuously improve their security posture.
