The king of the mountain is when it comes to IGA, and now, if you ask them, they would also say when it comes to Identity Security. Recent acquisitions into the PAM space, and a heavy lean into their Atlas platform, has SailPoint looking to prove to the world that their lead is safe. But it’s a new world for SailPoint, with lots of competition and shrinking customer budgets. They are now the hunted. And now they head back to the streets. Officially filing their S1, SailPoint will look to take the throne as the gold standard for identity security. Officially back in the streets as of February 13th, however, their direction isn’t clear as it’s hard to figure out what Atlas is, and their track record of integrating acquisitions isn’t excellent. The competition is now fierce as CyberArk, Saviynt, BeyondTrust, and Delinea all have “platforms” that offer multiple aspects of identity, and the market has truly accepted ( and is now demanding) the identity as a platform play.
