What’s new with SailPoint Identity Security Cloud: Part 2

It’s a busy time at SailPoint! We’re pleased to announce more enhancements to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. We’re launching exciting new Identity Security Cloud capabilities that continue to articulate our dedication to market-leading innovation. These new releases help customers maintain least privileged access and a robust identity security posture with capabilities that promote more flexibility, control, and automation for managing, and optimizing critical identity data.

Access profile metadata: Dynamic flexibility

Access profiles are powerful, but managing metadata attributes can be a bit cumbersome. This feature enhances the Identity Security Cloud access model metadata service by adding the ability to enrich access profiles with business context in the form of pre-defined and custom metadata. With this enhancement, the Identity Security Cloud access model metadata service now supports all Identity Security Cloud access model items which includes roles, entitlements, and access profiles. This reduces administrative overhead while improving governance accuracy.

PTA PowerShell Script execution: Meeting admins where they are 

Privileged Task Automation (PTA) is one of the most effective ways to automate complex IT and privileged tasks and reduce the privileged access footprint in your organization. With a significant population of admins already proficient in PowerShell, it makes sense to extend PTA’s capabilities into this familiar and widely used framework.

The new PTA PowerShell script execution feature enables admins to delegate and automate privileged tasks securely through PowerShell scripts. This delivers immediate value to customers by enabling teams to leverage existing scripts in a consistent, secure and efficient way, while reducing standing privileges.

Parameter Storage: Unblocking PTA adoption 

Until now, PTA adoption has been slowed down by the requirement to use a third-party vault for credential storage. For many customers, this created unnecessary complexity and slowed down deployment.

With Parameter Storage, Identity Security Cloud now includes a centralized system for securely storing parameters used in privileged tasks. This simplifies PTA adoption, eliminates the dependency on external credential providers, and delivers a more streamlined user experience.

As a leader in identity security, we don’t slow down when it comes to innovation; that’s especially true when it comes to the depth and breadth of capabilities in SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. It's all gas, no brakes. Visit the Release Notes for more details on the latest features.
