SailPoint extends open identity management platform
Since threats to enterprise systems often come from stolen or compromised credentials, managing user identity is a vital part of modern security.
Access control specialist SailPoint is announcing a plugin framework for its SailPoint IdentityIQ platform that will allow customers and partners to develop extensions to the core product features, so they can move towards a more identity-aware organization.
It's also unveiled a series of beta plugins, including a privileged account management (PAM) interface designed to extend integrations with leading PAM vendors, as well as plugins from other companies including ColumnIT, Identropy, KOGIT and Regatta.
"Our vision for an open platform was to create a community of 'power users' who are actively extending their IAM programs into new areas, and we’re excited to help them to accelerate that innovation," says Paul Trulove, vice president of product management for SailPoint. "Enterprises today have unique identity governance needs as they grow and scale their IAM implementations. We believe we can accelerate innovation by allowing the industry to build upon the industry's leading identity governance product, IdentityIQ, to deliver value in new ways".
The company will be using its Navigate '16 identity governance conference in Austin this week to showcase a number of plugins including PAM interface integration. It will also be showing an org chart visualizer, which provides a simple, straight-forward way to view employee and manager relationships in IdentityIQ; a graphical matrix for creating and editing Separation of Duty (SoD) policy rules; a SAP approval tree, which offers a visual representation of approvers within the SAP application; and a certification calendar, which provides administrators with a consolidated calendar view of all active access certification campaigns.
