SailPoint Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in unified identity security for enterprises, has announced a new offering on its Atlas platform, SailPoint Risk Connectors.
As part of its Atlas platform, SailPoint Risk Connectors makes it easier for organisations to make informed access decisions based on an identity’s third-party risk scores. Speed is essential to risk mitigation, especially in delivering secure access to critical data and applications for all enterprise identities today. SailPoint Risk Connectors is designed to help organisations act quickly if an identity’s risk level changes.
SailPoint Risk Connectors
SailPoint Risk Connectors provides third-party risk information from pioneering vendors like CrowdStrike, Proofpoint, and Elevate Security (acquired by Mimecast) within SailPoint’s Atlas platform.
With the third-party risk score assigned to identities, organisations can use automation to adapt access according to risk, ensure least-privilege access, and enhance their overall security posture.

“Our customers tell us that incorporating a real-time view of risk is a top priority for their identity security programmes,” explained Grady Summers, SailPoint’s EVP, of Product.
“We believe SailPoint Atlas provides all of the capabilities to utilise these risk scores from our partners to drive action that helps keep our customer’s data secure. SailPoint Risk Connectors is another example of how we aim to continue the advancement of enterprise security through a unified approach to identity security.”

SailPoint Atlas not only allows the consumption of risk data from other systems, but it enables organisations to visualise the information in the context of identities and their access to execute more informed access decisions quickly.
For example, SailPoint’s connectivity framework could respond to a risky user by launching a workflow to disable or suspend access or force an access re-certification.
SailPoint Access Intelligence Centre
Customers can also view identity risk scores in the SailPoint Access Intelligence Centre to better understand trends or hone in on risky user populations.
SailPoint Atlas is designed to provide the foundation that brings together a holistic view of every enterprise identity. It enriches SailPoint’s data model with the real-time risk data customers need to secure their organisation and its data.

“Proofpoint’s Nexus People Risk Explorer helps organisations model their risk based on their Very Attacked People and overall attack surface, analysing how people work in high-risk ways, how they are targeted by threats, and how they access valuable data,” said D.J. Long, Vice President, Strategic Alliances and Business Development at Proofpoint.
“By integrating these insights into SailPoint's Atlas platform, organisations gain a holistic view to make more informed access decisions, fortify their overall security posture, and streamline how they adapt to evolving threats."
Risk mitigation
"If a user's risk level spikes, for instance, immediate action can be taken to adjust access privileges and notify security personnel. This collaborative approach dismantles information silos, ensuring risk mitigation is a unified effort."
