Identity Access Management

What is Identity Access Management (IAM)?

IAM Modernizations is about Business Process and less about THE technical solution.

Key Benefits of IAM

Streamlined Processes

Automate and simplify onboarding/offboarding.

Improved User Experience

Quick, secure access to needed resources.

Enhanced Security & Compliance

Protect sensitive data with structured access controls.

Eliminate Single Points of Failure

Decentralized systems increase resilience.

Empowerment & Accountability

Track and manage who has access and why.

Identity & Access Intelligence

Use data to inform and improve access decisions.

SailPoint and ARM

SailPoint provides governance and oversight, while ARM handles day-to-day access workflows. Together, they create a powerful, modern IAM ecosystem—one that secures access while streamlining user interaction.

As the SailPoint roadmap evolves, we expect to find strategic opportunities for Access Rights Management (ARM) to use SailPoint's access management capabilities in ways that support our business goals and security needs. This alignment will guide us in developing a more unified and efficient Identity Access Management (IAM) Program.
