Due to their higher investments in mature identity security practices, organizations in Horizons 3 and 4 of their identity security journeys had 16% accelerated speed to market and significantly increased business returns, compared with Horizon 1 organizations, reports SC Media.
Such elevated returns come as more organizations advanced their identity security investments over the past two years driven by the growing importance of improved identity intelligence visibility and adoption of artificial intelligence, according to a SailPoint report presented at its annual user conference.
Further analysis showed that international energy firm RWE was able to substantially increase user account visibility and improve identity strategy unification across its businesses while significantly reducing onboarding time as it moved from Horizon 2 to Horizon 4.
SailPoint's move to Horizon 4 was noted to have significantly bolstered productivity while meaningfully reducing manual compliance reviews. Organizations commencing their identity security journeys have been urged by SailPoint Chief Information Officer Sreeveni Kancharla to prioritize executive and business alignment in their strategies.
