SailPoint has launched a new offering called SailPoint Accelerated Application Management, designed to transform how businesses handle the discovery, governance, and security of their applications on a large scale. Many enterprises currently manage fewer than 50 applications, leaving thousands unmonitored and creating significant security vulnerabilities. This innovative solution combines intelligent automation with expert-led implementation to deliver comprehensive oversight and compliance at a dramatically lower cost and complexity than traditional alternatives.
Most organizations only integrate a small portion of their applications with identity security tools. Conventional methods, while thorough, often demand specialized knowledge, time-consuming manual processes, and external consulting support. This gap leaves critical applications unsecured, risks unaddressed, and potential threats unnoticed. Simply having visibility isn’t sufficient, without the ability to identify high-risk applications and automate governance responses, companies remain exposed to serious threats.
Built on the SailPoint Atlas platform, Accelerated Application Management unifies continuous application discovery, zero-touch onboarding, risk-based prioritization, and automated governance workflows. By leveraging AI-driven insights, organizations can enforce policies, streamline remediation, automate privileged tasks, and benefit from intelligent recommendations for faster decision-making. The result is rapid compliance for high-impact applications and the ability to bring hundreds of apps under governance in days rather than months, significantly cutting time, effort, and expense.
In a related strategic move, SailPoint has entered into an agreement to acquire key assets from Savvy, a company known for its superior SaaS application visibility and real-time monitoring focused on identity risks and insider threats. Subject to standard closing conditions, SailPoint plans to integrate Savvy’s technology to provide customers with unmatched application intelligence and oversight.
According to Chandra Gnanasambandam, CTO and EVP of Product at SailPoint, “If you can’t see every application, you can’t protect it, but visibility alone is not enough. Our customers need the intelligence to understand where their greatest risks lie, paired with automation that systematically closes those gaps. With SailPoint Accelerated Application Management, they get both, accelerating time-to-value while strengthening their security posture.”
The solution is structured around three core capabilities that scale with organizational maturity:
It enables application visibility and intelligence through continuous discovery, revealing inventory, ownership, user activities, and risky access patterns across the enterprise. The platform automatically flags compromised passwords and uses risk-based prioritization to direct governance efforts where they matter most.
It facilitates quicker compliance via Express Setup, which allows for zero-touch application onboarding. This feature rapidly deploys access reviews, enforces least privilege policies, automates leaver workflows, and generates audit-ready reports without the delays typical of traditional implementations.
It deepens governance with advanced automation, including provisioning and deprovisioning, full identity lifecycle management, self-service capabilities, and AI-driven policy enforcement with Separation of Duties controls.
To ensure smooth adoption, SailPoint offers expert-led service packages that include dedicated delivery teams, reducing the need for in-house specialized resources or data engineering expertise. Available in two tiers, the service provides immediate visibility for urgent needs and a clear pathway to more advanced governance as programs evolve. Ongoing expert support helps organizations achieve successful implementation and long-term optimization.
Gnanasambandam emphasized, “Enterprises don’t just need faster onboarding, they need a smarter foundation for long-term resilience and growth. By embedding intelligence into application management, we’re enabling organizations to secure more, scale faster, and turn identity into a true driver of business agility.”
SailPoint Accelerated Application Management is available now.
