An article by Mathew Schwartz of InformationWeek, “Hackers, Insiders Behind Most Identity Theft,” caught my attention this week – not because it highlights a new risk for organizations, but because it illustrates the old adage, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” The article recaps a study by the Identity Theft Resource [...]

The SailPoint team just returned from the 2010 Gartner IAM Summit in San Diego. It’s always a great show because of the focus on IdM and the organizations that attend the show. This year, attendance was up and there were lots of networking opportunities to exchange ideas on this rapidly changing market. I got the [...]

The meeting was very well attended by SailPoint customers across mid-western states, with a few customers joining us from as far away as North Carolina and Georgia. These events bring together users spanning diverse [...]

If you can believe it, I’m already fielding questions about my prediction for 2011. As customers start planning for next year, they want to know where to focus and what to look for. I know the IdM industry has long-talked about the holy grail of bridging IT and business (or “marrying IT and business” or [...]

SailPoint recently announced the results of our 2010 Market Pulse Survey focused on employees’ attitudes toward company data. We got some pretty startling results from the more than 1,500 workers polled in the U.S. and Great Britain: Half of the respondents said they would take company data with them when leaving a job. A full [...]

A little more than a year ago, the industry was surprised to hear that Oracle planned to acquire Sun Microsystems. Immediately, Sun customers began to wonder about the future of their existing IdM investments. It took another several months for the acquisition to be finalized, and then even more before Oracle began to roll out [...]

For some time, I’ve been watching Oracle’s marketing machine tout the impending arrival of Oracle Identity Manager 11g- a reportedly “revolutionary” suite of IdM products. I saw the OIM 11g announcement this morning and spent more than a few minutes digesting its contents. I have to admit that I was curious whether Oracle would move [...]

A few weeks ago, I was out on the West Coast talking to companies about privileged user management and identity governance with our technology partner, Cyber-Ark. This is an area of real concern for lots of organizations – and rightfully so. During our meetings, we exchanged real-world “horror stories” about insider fraud and sabotage. One [...]

Our CTO Darran Rolls recently focused on the fact that traditional provisioning solutions took a “bottom-up, connector-focused” approach as opposed to a “top-down governance model” approach (“The Value of Taking a Governance-based Approach to Provisioning“). The net result being that many provisioning projects failed to deliver on their value proposition – especially to the non-technical [...]

In case you missed it, SailPoint recently announced a new provisioning solution based on identity governance. I believe this announcement not only signaled a fundamental change in approach from “old school” provisioning systems, but also sent a much needed life preserver to companies struggling with a provisioning quagmire. I know talk is cheap, so I [...]
