SailPoint is the leader in Identity Security. SailPoint customers represent half of the Fortune 500 and half of the ASX 50. This customer strength provides us with a great community of customers, partners and analysts who trust SailPoint and our team to solve complex challenges. SailPoint continues to grow globally and expanding our global presence creates opportunities for top salespeople to become a part of our awesome culture.
We are recognized by analysts such as Gartner, Forester and Kuppinger Cole as the leader in the market and we continue to push ourselves to define the market rather than follow what the analysts or competitors are marketing. Organizations struggle to understand who has access to what applications and data, and we help them answer these key questions. Identity security is the central control point for risk management for the enterprise.
We are proud of our team and the culture we have built which has led to our employees voting us “best places to work” – 15 years in a row.
