SailPoint, Inc. integrates Identity Security Accelerator with AWS

SailPoint, Inc. integrated its Identity Security Accelerator with the Extended plan in AWS Security Hub to give AWS customers a unified way to discover, purchase, and govern identities that underpin their cloud security strategy.

The integration enabled customers to streamline procurement and centrally manage identity security and governance through a single-vendor experience with one contract, one bill, consolidated support, and flexible pricing through AWS. It also allowed organizations to use their existing AWS relationship to purchase and deploy SailPoint's identity security platform, simplifying vendor management and speeding access oversight.

The Extended plan in AWS Security Hub brought together AWS detection services and curated partner solutions spanning endpoint and identity to Security Operations (SecOps) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). SailPoint's Identity Security Accelerator automated the complete identity lifecycle and simplified compliance management. The offering included the Identity Security Cloud Foundations suite with access modeling, lifecycle management, compliance management, analytics, and the SailPoint Platform, plus SailPoint Accelerated Application Management and Professional Services support for deployment and onboarding.

The integration provided a consolidated procurement and support path, and offered flexible pricing through AWS while enabling deployment of SailPoint capabilities via AWS channels. The companies described a single point of purchase and consolidated billing as part of the integrated experience.

“CISOs face a dual challenge: managing an explosion of cloud applications and identities while trying to simplify their security stack,” said Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP Product and Chief Technology Officer for SailPoint. “This initiative with AWS addresses the challenge head-on. This is about delivering convenience coupled with a unified command center for cloud and identity security. By embedding our deep identity expertise directly into the fabric of AWS, we are empowering customers to turn complex security data into actionable intelligence to confidently accelerate their journey to a zero-trust architecture.” “SailPoint has been a very good, solid solution for us. Together with AWS, it fits perfectly into our digital transformation journey and has positioned us for long-term success,” said Isaac Abbs, Chief Information Officer and Assistant Vice Chancellor for IT, Pima Community College.

The PR said the collaboration would allow customers to accelerate their security programs by combining the power of the cloud with expert-led identity security.
