First unveiled in 2017 and opened to the public in 2023, Identity University enables security professionals to follow role-based training paths, track their progress and earn certifications and badges to demonstrate expertise and advance their careers. With its latest evolution, SailPoint is reinforcing its commitment to addressing the cybersecurity skills shortage, supporting the talent market and helping partners and customers train new employees.
Identity University now includes hands-on labs offering practical experience in a live-tenant environment. These cover essential setup and administration topics, along with extensibility capabilities for the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. New training offerings target administrators and engineers, helping learners keep pace with the fast-evolving identity security landscape.
Administrators can learn to build an access model in Identity Security Cloud and perform key troubleshooting activities, while engineers can configure and extend identity security connectors and sit advanced expert-level exams.
“By expanding our industry-leading learning platform, SailPoint remains committed to providing access to critical training and certification resources,” said Meredith Blanchar, Chief Customer Officer at SailPoint. “Since introducing our entry-level Identity Security Leader credential last year, we’ve quadrupled the number of people with a SailPoint certification – and expect to train 100,000 new identity security professionals over the next three years.”
The update also brings an intuitive catalogue, streamlined navigation, simplified e-commerce and a Training Administrator Access feature, allowing customers and partners to manage enterprise training more effectively.
