Connectivity: The secret weapon to identity security success

Understanding and satisfying identity security requirements is about helping organizations not only secure access to environments, but also realize business value as quickly as possible. And the first step is to secure access to applications.

When organizations don’t apply core identity security principles – such as access requests, access approvals, certifications, and insights – to business applications, no matter what they are, how they’re delivered, or where they reside, it’s hard to get a clear view into access, enforce consistent policies, detect threats, and understand risks.

That’s where SailPoint Connectivity comes in, delivering comprehensive solutions that give our customers the power to manage access to any application. Think of us as your personal identity security arsenal with a cadre of solutions specifically designed to synchronize applications and data sources, jumpstart your identity security journey, and help confidently and securely manage an identity’s access across the organization.
