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”.

The Identity Blog
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.

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. We have found tha...

Let’s break it down real quick – she studied economics and planned to go into finance but instead found herself in the start-up life. That unexpected turn gave her the chance to wear many hats – one of whi...
For fans of Greek mythology, the story of Sisyphus is a bleak example of one assigned to a life of unending, monotonous tasks. 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...
