The inclusion of SailPoint CIEM as a product leader in this report, which evaluated 14 vendors, is a testament to our efforts over the last year to build a new, advanced cloud governance product: SailPoint CIEM launched in March 2023 at the Gartner Identity & Access Management conference.
SailPoint CIEM is specifically designed to address the cloud governance use cases our customers want to solve, including the problem of overprovisioned access and mitigating identity-based attacks on enterprise cloud infrastructure.
More significantly, SailPoint CIEM is a fully integrated component within SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud. Enterprises can visualize, provision, and govern access across Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with an identity-focused approach to cloud entitlements and certifications that also include detailed cloud access reporting.
“SailPoint Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management is no longer an add-on tool, but fully integrated in the SailPoint platform, available via a tab on the SailPoint dashboard.”
The KuppingerCole report also called out vendor progress in three key leadership categories: Product Leadership, Innovation Leadership, and Market Leadership.
SailPoint CIEM was named a leader in both the Product and Market Leadership categories, as well as a “Market Champion” in the correlated Market/Product Matrix, and a leader in the Innovation/Market Matrix.
“…Leaders have indeed learned some lessons from CIEM and added the capabilities to their platforms, but they also lead because of size, market position, stability, and trust in the market.”
The future for SailPoint CIEM includes enhanced reporting for audits, access path visibility enhancements, and activity-based certifications, among others.
