SailPoint Identity Security Cloud – AI‑powered platform on Atlas
The SailPoint Identity Security Cloud is a scalable, AI‑driven SaaS solution built on the SailPoint Atlas platform. It is designed to manage and protect identities, access, and entitlements in real time.
The solution automates access decisions through artificial intelligence, provides real‑time transparency for risk reduction, and enables continuous internal compliance. Through automation and machine learning, ISC ensures that access processes are accelerated while security is simultaneously strengthened.
Four core solution areas of the Identity Security Cloud
The Identity Security Cloud comprises four central solution areas, available as an integrated suite:
Lifecycle Management
Automation of the entire identity lifecycle joiner, mover, and leaver. By automating tasks, manual effort is reduced, provisioning and deprovisioning are accelerated, and access creep is minimized. This enables faster onboarding, seamless internal transfers, and secure offboarding while maintaining compliance.
Access Modeling
AI‑assisted definition, visualization, and refinement of access rights. Through machine learning, Access Modeling delivers automated suggestions for role creation, reduces over‑entitlements, and optimizes access hygiene. This reduces audit effort and increases operational efficiency.
Compliance Management
Automated enforcement of access policies, optimization of certifications, and review of user access across the entire identity landscape. Auditors receive full transparency about who has access to what and why. This reduces audit burden, prevents costly violations, and ensures continuous compliance with less manual effort.
Identity Analytics
Provision of actionable identity information by analyzing user behavior, access trends, and policy violations. Clear insights into access risks, anomaly detection, and data‑driven decisions improve the overall security posture. Intelligent dashboards and reporting enable proactive threat management and more effective security strategies.
IdentityAI® – Machine learning for smart access decisions
The platform is powered by IdentityAI®, SailPoint’s proprietary AI engine, which leverages trusted data intelligence to optimize Identity Governance. IdentityAI® offers the following key capabilities:
- Access Modeling: Recommends optimal roles by analyzing access patterns across the entire organization.
- Access Recommendations: Uses peer‑group comparisons to guide approvals and reduce decision fatigue.
- Identity Outliers: Detects abnormal access behavior through machine learning and highlights it for review. The Outlier Risk Score provides a consistent framework for addressing access anomalies in real time.
- Role Insights & Mining: Accelerates role creation and refinement through intelligent clustering.
- Certification & Request Suggestions: Optimizes governance by displaying recommended actions during reviews.
- SailPoint Harbor Pilot: An AI agent that helps query identity data, create workflows, and extract insights in natural language.
These AI‑driven capabilities enable organizations to enforce least‑privilege access, reduce risk, and confidently automate Identity Governance.
