Grip Security, which offers SaaS identity risk management, partnered with unified identity security company SailPoint Technologies to address SaaS security risk.
Grip’s certified integration addresses the challenge of onboarding shadow SaaS by reducing time from months to days. Modern enterprises face challenges securing access to hundreds or thousands of SaaS applications. This collaboration delivers broader visibility and improved security for shadow SaaS, discovered by the Grip SaaS Security Control Plane platform. This allows enterprises to extend identity governance programs managed by SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC) to these applications.
This integration seamlessly connects SaaS security with identity governance, allowing organizations to onboard over 20,000 potential SaaS applications. These applications are automatically discovered and integrated into SailPoint ISC as employees use them, even if they fail to notify IT that they are being used. Now, organizations can efficiently onboard shadow SaaS into their identity security program, gaining visibility into their SaaS risk profile while enhancing access policies and streamlining approval workflows to manage lifecycle events across their entire SaaS portfolio. Security teams can view the organization’s complete SaaS inventory, including shadow SaaS, to evaluate risk and take corrective action. All SaaS discovery and risk management workflows are accessible directly from existing SailPoint ISC dashboards, simplifying implementation and ensuring these enhancements are easy to adopt.
“With the proliferation of SaaS, companies face the pressure to secure an expanding SaaS ecosystem and ensure compliance,” said Lior Yaari, the CEO and co-founder of Grip Security. “This collaboration with SailPoint enables organizations to extend robust identity security to thousands of SaaS apps, so controls can keep up with the pace of SaaS adoption.”
Through the integration, SailPoint customers can apply SailPoint ISC to SaaS applications. Capabilities include:
- Shadow SaaS identities discovery.
- Automated identity lifecycle management.
- Access control for Shadow SaaS.
- SaaS identity risk monitoring.
“At SailPoint, we are committed to giving organizations the power to manage access and protect identities seamlessly across managed and shadow SaaS applications,” said Jody Paterson, senior director of product, SailPoint. “Our partnership with Grip Security provides significant SaaS security insights into our identity governance solution, helping organizations manage identities holistically and mitigate risk with greater precision.”
As organizations continue their digital transformation journeys, the combined capabilities of Grip Security and SailPoint bring a proactive strategy to managing SaaS identity risks, offering compliance with regulatory frameworks and reducing operational inefficiencies. This partnership helps security and IT teams avoid emerging threats by ensuring that identities are properly governed across all applications, whether sanctioned or unsanctioned.
The integration is immediately available to joint customers through Grip Security and SailPoint.
