SailPoint Technologies, Inc., has launched a new groundbreaking AI-powered application onboarding feature for its SailPoint Identity Security Cloud platform to enhance user experience, deliver faster time to value, and ensure the security of business applications.
Many organizations manage hundreds to thousands of applications, making onboarding them into an identity security solution costly and time-consuming, especially for those lacking the necessary personnel or technical expertise. This challenge has traditionally forced businesses to prioritize onboarding only their most critical applications, such as Salesforce or Workday, leaving other applications unmanaged and vulnerable.
SailPoint’s application onboarding feature utilizes AI to automate the process, reducing the time and complexity typically involved. It automatically discovers applications, increasing visibility across the environment. After discovery, administrators can easily select the connection method from hundreds of options or receive AI-driven recommendations based on SailPoint’s usage insights and best practices. This helps deploy an effective connector or integration to meet the access security needs of each application. Additionally, the feature provides AI-powered recommendations to map identities to accounts, streamlining the onboarding process and potentially reducing mapping time by up to 70%, freeing up IT and security professionals for more critical tasks.
This new application onboarding feature will be available at no additional cost to existing customers of SailPoint Identity Security Cloud Business and Business Plus, significantly enhancing the value of the already top-tier solution. Traditionally, the time and cost of application onboarding have been major obstacles for businesses seeking to implement an identity security solution. These new capabilities will enable customers to fully leverage SailPoint Identity Security Cloud across their business applications quickly. Automating application onboarding makes it highly scalable, allowing new applications to be integrated with minimal human intervention.
“Manual application onboarding can be a cumbersome process, often taking weeks or even months, our new capability is expected to reduce this process to hours or days, bringing business-critical applications under the identity security umbrella with minimal time and effort. Automating this process will facilitate the implementation of effective identity security capabilities across the entire digital ecosystem.” – Grady Summers, EVP of Product at SailPoint
