New updates in SalesPoint’s SaaS platform include lifecycle management capabilities for external collaborators, new connectors for Slack and Zoom integration, and campaign configurations to maintain set compliances.
In an effort to enable organizations to keep pace with the reorientation in work environments due to mass teleworking, SailPoint has announced a host of new updates to its SaaS platform for identity management (IAM). Identity Access Management is set to become the new security perimeter to protect remote workers from threat. Talking about this trend, Chris DeRamus, CTO at DivvyCloud saidOpens a new window , “All users, apps, services, and systems in the cloud have an identity, and as organizations shifted to remote styles of work, they quickly learned that these relationships are complex.â€
Updates include lifecycle management capabilities for external collaborators, new connectors, as well as updates to certifications to maintain set compliances.

SailPoint’s cloud-based identity management SaaS platform can be useful in managing enterprise level employees, and now non-employee or external identities like suppliers, contingent workers, partners; for accessibility across multiple applications. This includes the ability to grant, modify or revoke access privileges, even to those working remotely, as a part of the larger identity governance by the organization. The DivvyCloud CTO added, “Understanding the full picture of access in the cloud and working toward least privileged access are difficult , but necessary endeavors to ensure security in the cloud.â€
The machine learning-driven platform, called Predictive Identity, features an “adaptive, autonomous, and predictive approach to identity that is required to securely enable today’s evolving workforce,†as EVP at Solutions and Technology for SailPoint, Grady Summers puts it. This, combined with the platform’s new certification and campaign configurability helps in anticipation of identity needs, in accordance with user behaviour learned through its ML capabilities, which it autonomously implements as prescribed by the user identity and regulatory compliances.
This can be useful to avoid the ramifications of outdated identity management and governance like that of last year’s Capital One credit application hackOpens a new window , through constant, continued, not to mention automated vigilance. Chris DeRamus further added, “To protect the identity perimeter at scale, organizations need an automated monitoring and remediation solution for access management, role management, identity authentication and compliance auditing – all of which help enterprise security teams stay ahead in this complex landscape. Even once this pandemic subsides, we will continue to see a great emphasis placed on cloud IAM, especially as organizations continue to encourage remote work.â€
Further, SailPoint has added connectors of two of the most widely used collaboration tools, Slack and Zoom which can help its user in remote work.
