SailPoint CIO Sree Kancharla on how the identity security firm balances technology innovation with protection measures as AI cybersecurity threats evolve
he enterprise security landscape has undergone fundamental shifts in recent years. Traditional perimeter defences have eroded as organisations migrate to cloud services, adopt hybrid work models and integrate third-party vendors into core operations. This evolution has placed identity management at the centre of security strategy for most enterprises.
Identity-based attacks continue to rise, accounting for 64 % of all security incidents according to recent research. And with credential compromise the cause of most data breaches, the scale of compromised credential attacks makes identity one of the broadest and most dangerous attack surfaces.
SailPoint has positioned itself at the intersection of innovation and security in the identity management sector. The firm provides unified identity data solutions designed to address the growing complexity of enterprise security challenges in this changing environment.
“ Our offerings leverage highly advanced technology, AI and ML to maximise the value received by our customers and streamline their operations to provide a stronger identity security posture,” says Sreeveni Kancharla, Chief Information Officer at SailPoint.
