Today, SailPoint Technologies, Inc.’s UK subsidiary, a leader in enterprise identity security, completed the acquisition of Osirium, a UK-based security firm focused to solving challenging access demands. This purchase will contribute to the company’s objective of integrating visibility, oversight, and protection across all sorts of access, both routine and sensitive, into a single solution.
“Enterprises don’t have time to sort through access rights across disparate identity solutions, nor should they – the concept of seeing and managing sensitive access separately from regular access is a dated notion and does not scale in today’s accelerated business environment,” said Grady Summers, executive vice president of product at SailPoint “With Osirium, we’ll provide our customers with a holistic view of regular and sensitive access, rather than requiring them to sort through multiple systems to piece together a single view of all types of access across their organization at any given time.” This will enable organizations with unprecedented visibility and real-time control over what and how all of their identities access data and apps.”
This acquisition follows on the heels of and adds fuel to the company’s newly disclosed strategy for the industry, a unified approach to business identity security, one that handles every type of enterprise identity, every type and location of data while managing risk across the spectrum. Atlas, SailPoint’s identity security platform that serves as the cornerstone for SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, underpins this next generation of identity security. The Osirium technology will be integrated into the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud product after it has been integrated.
“Current approaches to privileged access protection simply cannot keep up with the rate of change occurring in today’s enterprise, nor do they consider privileged access controls required across the entire digital enterprise ecosystem.” “We believe privilege should extend beyond servers and databases today, providing holistic oversight and unified, policy-driven security controls for all types of access, and extending those controls to applications and data,” said Matt Mills, SailPoint’s President of Worldwide Field Operations. “Other approaches either lack the automation required to drive faster, smarter decisions, or they attempt to converge various identity technologies in order to drive efficiency.” Neither of these approaches is sufficient to fully secure today’s enterprise.”
“At SailPoint, we believe that unified, AI-driven identity security is the clear path forward in enabling every enterprise to manage and secure all enterprise access to critical data and applications in real-time,” Mills continued. This acquisition is only one piece of the puzzle as we work to advance this unified approach for the benefit of our customers around the world.”
