Identity security provider SailPoint Technologies Inc. unveiled an AI-powered application onboarding feature that enable users to seamlessly integrate crucial business applications.

This new feature, available as part of the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, makes it easier to integrate vital business apps. According to SailPoint, automating the onboarding process improves user experience, provides crucial security for corporate apps, and speeds up time to value.

The solution addresses the problem that onboarding applications into an identity security solution can be expensive and time-consuming, especially if an organization lacks technical experience or in-house staff. Many enterprises may have hundreds or even thousands of applications. According to SailPoint, companies have historically been compelled to prioritize onboarding just their mission-critical applications, like Salesforce Inc. or Workday Inc., and to leave the remainder of their apps unmanaged or exposed.

Application onboarding can be complicated and time-consuming. The application onboarding capabilities of SailPoint use artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline the process. The AI automatically finds applications, making it simpler for administrators to select the connection method from hundreds of possibilities or get advice from the AI regarding the best practices to use.

To expedite the onboarding process and cut down on mapping time by as much as 70% on average, SailPoint application onboarding further produces AI-powered recommendations to assist in mapping identities to accounts. It is claimed that by combining these capabilities, information technology, and security professionals will have more time to work on things that are vital to the company.

Grady Summers, Executive Vice President of Product at SailPoint, said, “Manual application onboarding can be an arduous process for today’s businesses, sometimes taking weeks or even months to complete. Our new capability is expected to allow customers to shorten that process to hours or days, enabling their business-critical applications to be brought safely under their identity security umbrella with a minimal investment of time or energy.”
