AI Analysis & Implementation

Introducing AI into your Identity Governance and Administration program can produce actionable analytics that reduce risk, address entitlement sprawl, and enable smart automation.  Access requests and reviews, approvals, role modeling and maintenance all become more efficient with proper AI and Machine Learning integration. However, to produce these results, you need to understand how to configure AI and ensure that you’re analyzing the right data. 

  • Provide risk assessed recommendations to streamline approvals
  • Recommend the required access for your end-users
  • Identify anomalies and outlier access
  • Make Role governance and maintenance dramatically more efficient
  • Utilize smart Access Review recommendations
  • Develop AI/ML generated Audit and Compliance dashboards
  • Reduce operational costs
  • Reduce the time needed for new user onboarding

 

Xalient has established best practices for configuring and implementing AI solutions.  Identity-centric security and AI-driven defense systems can be foundational elements for protecting against the evolving cyber threat landscape, and we can help you get there.

SailPoint IIQ to Identity Security Cloud (ISC) Migration

As SailPoint continues to offer new capabilities exclusive to their Identity Security Cloud SaaS platform (like AI, CIEM, and Cloud Access Management), more and more organizations are considering making the change from IIQ to ISC.  Although this transition is both viable and a good value proposition for many companies, the complexities of what was created on their IIQ platform can require analysis and creative solutions to make that transition.  

By analyzing the complexity of your current IIQ environment and IGA requirements against the capabilities and viability of an ISC migration, we can:

  • Provide gap analysis
  • Provide solutions to address any gaps
  • Evaluate the level of effort required
  • Determine the value you’ll receive 
  • Recommended timing of a migration 
 
We’ve helped some of the largest companies in the world build a strategy and plan for migrating their on-prem IGA platform (IIQ or other IGA solutions) to SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud.

Identity Governance and Administration

3rd-Party Non-Employee Identities

Many organizations struggle to securely manage the lifecycle and govern access for non-employees. This creates extreme risk, both financial and to the organization’s brand. Understanding how sophisticated the solution your organization needs to properly address the risk can be challenging. The answer can depend on user types (contractors, partners, suppliers, vendors), the risk-level of the access each type requires, and of course scale. 

  • Assess risk introduced by the non-employee population
  • Analysis and prioritization of non-employee lifecycle use cases
  • New identity registration
  • Expiration date management and enforcement
  • Periodic Identity Attestation
  • Non-Employee authoritative source integration with IGA solution
  • Define and configure  non-employee roles and access policies


We can help you build a blueprint that eliminates ad-hoc solutions that create inefficiency and severe security risks.
