This video discusses the critical importance of managing all types of identities within an organization’s security program, emphasizing that machine identities like digital certificates, keys or tokens, are often more challenging to manage than human identities.
A recent survey shows that 72% of identity professionals find machine identities harder to control. Many organizations lack a comprehensive inventory of these machine identities and struggle to perform effective reviews and certifications for them, which creates significant security vulnerabilities.
SailPoint addresses these challenges with its Machine Identity Security solution, built on the SailPoint Atlas platform and powered by Identity Security Cloud. This solution unifies the management of both human and machine identities, enabling organizations to discover, classify, assign ownership, and govern machine accounts seamlessly within existing business processes.
