SailPoint unveils next-gen of identity security during keynote at Navigate 2021

SailPoint Technologies has unveiled the future of the identity-driven enterprise at the opening keynote at Navigate 2021.  

SailPoint is delivering enterprise security through the lends of identity, securely enabling today’s modern, dynamic enterprise. New capabilities in the SailPoint Identity Platform that will drive the next generation of identity security were announced this week during Navigate 2021, including:  

Grady Summers, SailPoint’s EVP of Product, said: “Our mission is to help our customers discover, secure and manage every type of identity. The only way to effectively do that for today’s modern enterprise is with an intelligent, autonomous and extensible ‘self-driving’ identity security system that is fueled by data. 

“We analyse all of that data on behalf of our customers, giving them critical visibility and a deeper understanding of who and how access is being used. We take the long, manual hours and tedious tasks out of the equation, using machine learning to speed along recommendations; this significantly improves and streamlines identity security across our customers’ business.   

“We’re also heavily focused on delivering deeper automation and extensibility. With AI-enabled intelligence, we can smartly speed a lot of that along for them so they can prioritise the areas of greatest risk first. Our customers can automate repetitive tasks and workflows, enabling them to build security once, scale it, and then share it with others across departments. Together, these three areas of product innovation help us to deliver the next generation identity platform required to enable this ‘self-driving’ identity security system.” 

Tray Wyman, Director of Identity and Access Management, at General Motors, said: “At General Motors, we’re all about going fast but with the right security controls in place. A big reason we can chase our business goals quickly and with confidence is because we’ve really embraced identity-centricity as crucial to the overall security of the business. With SailPoint at the foundation of our cyber security programme, we’re very well-positioned from a business resiliency standpoint.”
