Technology
The company has invested significant time and effort to remain a pioneer in innovation, continually emphasizing sophisticated and differentiated solutions to provide the best outcome for its customers. The company's team has been highly intentional in its approach to addressing customer needs and has leveraged its extensive knowledge in advanced technology to address these in a differentiated and optimized manner.
Unified Platform
The company's Atlas platform allows customers to manage all types of identities and their access needs across all environments through a single pane of glass, providing the underlying infrastructure critical to powering its Identity Security Cloud. The Atlas platform is the culmination of both years of investment and the expertise of the company's management and technical teams. Taking the lessons learned from its experiences with prior generation identity solutions, the company's engineers and architects designed a modern identity platform with internet scale, comprehensive cloud, hybrid, and customer-hosted environment coverage, and openness to optimize customers’ existing technology investments. This extensible, enterprise-grade platform is critical to enabling the management of not only employees, but also non-employees and machine identities, with varying levels of privilege, spanning cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, and Microsoft Azure, SaaS applications, customer-hosted applications, and datacenter infrastructure such as servers and databases. Tools, including AI, analytics, workflows, and app onboarding, are embedded throughout the company's unified platform, powering enhanced decision making, differentiated insights, and frictionless automation. The purpose-built platform provides the controls essential to govern and secure digital identities in today’s complex IT environments to support real-time, risk-based, and policy-driven management of the constantly evolving breadth and depth of enterprise identities, ensuring the right identities have access to the right data.
Key features of the Atlas platform include:
Extensibility: Enables deep configuration across security systems, empowering customers to easily thread identity security across their ecosystem.
Personalized insights & reporting: Personalized action-oriented insights and reporting putting the most important identity information at the fingertips of administrators, managers, and end users.

Connectivity: Expansive library of application and resource connectors that allow organizations to consolidate all access and identity information into a single solution.
Event-driven orchestration: Automated simple and complex identity use cases through custom workflows and forms to reduce or eliminate manual intervention.
Unified Data Model
The Identity Cube is a key element of the company's data layer, providing a 360-degree view on every identity. The Identity Cube provides a complete view of each identity, including attributes, entitlements, access rights, and risk scores. It is extensible by the customer to include data attributes that are relevant specifically to their organizations.
In an on-premise deployment scenario, the Identity Cube is a part of every IdentityIQ installation. As user data and other attributes are aggregated from enterprise HR systems, directories, and the like, the Identity Cube is populated. From there, core life cycle functions such as provisioning new accounts for users can be accomplished. The Identity Cube is an integral part of the product, not an add-on or optional module.
In a customer-hosted deployment scenario, the Identity Cube is also a part of every implementation and functions in the same way. The difference is architectural, with the Identity Security Cloud version of the Identity Cube being optimized for a multi-tenant, cloud-native architecture. In addition, in the SaaS deployment scenario, there are additional data facilities available that, when combined with the Identity Cube, represent the company's unified data model.
In both scenarios, the Identity Cube utilizes insights of the complex dependencies between identities, applications, data, and activities to create specialized data models that understand the effective access of an identity, patterns, and the potential risk level, whether in the cloud or customer-hosted. The connective, scalable, configurable, and automated nature of the company's Identity Security Cloud and IdentityIQ solutions allows it to secure identities for the most complex global organizations across all industries with AI-based security tools that provide comprehensive, scalable, and fast identity security to solve the needs of modern organizations.
The operational data derived from the data layer is organized into structured tables that represent real-world entities and their relationships. SailPoint’s account correlation, orphan account management, and risk scoring capabilities allow security professionals and business managers to track who has access to what and how often they use it and to rectify risky or dated access. With the help of the Identity Cube’s context and the data layer, operational and security systems can make informed decisions about access and perform key remediation and change requests on the company's identity platform via its standardized application program interfaces and software development kits.
Both the company's Identity Security Cloud and IdentityIQ offerings leverage highly advanced technology, AI, and ML to maximize the value received by its customers and streamline their operations to provide a stronger identity security posture. SailPoint recognizes the critical opportunity AI represents to the most scaled and complex enterprise organizations and is committed to partnering with its customers to continue to provide solutions incorporating these advanced technologies to improve identity security at enterprise scale. The company's AI-based solutions process petabytes of data daily and are scalable, adaptable, and cost-efficient and provide customers with enhanced detection, improved accuracy and efficiency, and an enhanced user experience that enable them to make better decisions faster. The company's innovation and experience in this space is demonstrated not only by recently developed products, but by a track record of successful AI-based offerings brought to market over the course of the last several years. Four major areas of capabilities form the company's AI layer as well as several distinct AI-based applications:
Recommendations: The company's intelligent AI-based recommendations streamline account creation, access requests based on user roles and organizational policies, and access certifications. This functionality helps both requestors and approvers make better decisions and ensures access rights are regularly reviewed and validated, significantly reducing organizational risk.
Discovery: The company's discovery capabilities automatically identify and create roles based on the actual access patterns of users, simplifying role creation and identifying access patterns to highlight potential security risks or misconfigurations. Launched in 2020, the company's Access Modeling offering based on the discovery engine significantly reduces the time required to build an organization’s access model, and just as importantly, keep it up to date through role and peer group discovery, low similarity outlier analysis, and common access creation.
Assistant: The company's assistive technologies drive user engagement and seamless experiences with large language models. In 2023, the company launched its generative AI entitlement descriptions, which address one of identity security’s pain points by automatically generating descriptions of application entitlements. Given the significant additional workload associated with description creation, many entitlements across the modern organization remain without a description, increasing the difficulty in determining the validity and necessity of requests or approvals.
Automation: The company's automation capabilities streamline the onboarding of new applications by provisioning access and managing compliance-related activities. This functionality significantly reduces the amount of time required to onboard the long tail of applications onto the identity platform, accelerating ROI, decreasing time to value for customers, and improving security posture at the same time.
The company's AI layer utilizes a combination of open-source models that have been customized for its use cases, proprietary models, and third-party models hosted by third-party subprocessors. The company also incorporates human-in-the-loop into its processes, including with entitlement descriptions, to detect incorrect predictions and improve the model.
Extensibility and Low-Code/No-Code Automation
The company's solutions provide flexible low-code workflows and no-code forms to extend its products. Customers have used the company's interactive drag-and-drop workflows to create processes that are executed millions of times a month to meet the unique needs of their business processes. For customers who need deeper customization, or bespoke integrations with other enterprise systems, the company's offerings provide a robust set of application programming interfaces (APIs) and software development kits (SDKs), supported by a vibrant developer community and Developer Relations team. Customers can browse community-contributed extensions and add them to their existing solution.
Connector Library and Ecosystem
The company's solutions offer connectivity to over 1,100 applications through their extensive connector library. In addition, customers have used this same library to connect to over 20,000 custom applications. The company's solutions leverage AI technology to automatically map application data models to the SailPoint Identity Cube, dramatically reducing the long tail of application integration efforts that typically hinder identity deployments.
Multitenant SaaS Architecture
The company's microservices-based SaaS model, coupled with its low-code/no-code capabilities and its abstracted SDKs means that customers can customize the Identity Security Cloud while always running the latest code—without the need to test new versions or re-implement changes. Competitors who have deployed single-tenant models still require customers to schedule upgrade windows and delay code pushes, which drives total cost of ownership.
