False Sense of Security

We’ve hit an identity security inflection point over the last few months. This was largely brought about as more organizations paid closer attention to how they were connecting their workers to the systems and data needed do to their job – particularly after last years’ massive pivot to “working from anywhere”. It wasn’t just a keener eye on how efficiently workers were giv...

Don’t Let Sleeping Hackers Lie—Identity Security Is One Trick to Combat Cyber Threats

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 Missing Link: Combining Identity Security with Cloud Access Management

The adoption of Infrastructure as a Services (IaaS) is rapidly increasing, with more than 78% of organizations using at least 2 different cloud IaaS platforms. Many organizations have adopted stand-alone Cloud Access Management solutions to monitor their multi-cloud environments, but is that enough? While these solutions are good at providing visibility into cloud access, t...

Get the Most Out of Access Request

Self-Service Access Request is one example of a way that organizations enable new and seasoned employees so they can get the access they require to get their jobs done. 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.

Three Questions with Gina Miller, Reference Program Manager at SailPoint

Gina Miller may be a new SailPoint crew member, but she is right at home. Like many of us, her career path was less of a straight line and more of a winding, scenic road.

That unexpected turn gave her the chance to wear many hats – one of whi...

Sisyphus ran afoul of Zeus one too many times and was assigned the grueling punishment of forever rolling a massive boulder up a hill. Every time Sisyphus rolled the boulder up the hill, it would roll down, every day, until the end of time. Does t...
