Flow Automation Highlights
Multi-Platform Account Retrieval: The workflow seamlessly retrieves account information from various identity platforms, including Azure Active Directory, SailPoint, AWS, and Ping Identity. This task, which typically requires manual logins to multiple systems and individual queries, is consolidated into a single automated process. The impact is significant time savings and reduced risk of overlooking accounts across different platforms.
Data Enrichment and Correlation: The workflow enriches user profiles with comprehensive information by pulling data from multiple sources. This process, which would be highly time-consuming and error-prone if done manually, now happens in near real-time. The impact is a more holistic view of user identities, enabling better-informed access management and risk assessment decisions.
Risk Analysis Integration: The workflow incorporates SailPoint's Access Risk Management capabilities, automatically analyzing the enriched user data for potential risks. This replaces manual risk assessments that could be inconsistent or outdated. The impact is a more proactive and consistent approach to risk management, allowing for quicker identification and mitigation of potential security threats.
Cross-Platform Synchronization: The workflow ensures that user information is consistent across all integrated platforms. This task, typically involving manual updates in multiple systems, is now handled automatically. The impact is improved data accuracy, reduced administrative overhead, and enhanced compliance with identity governance policies.
Automated Reporting: The workflow culminates in generating comprehensive reports on user accounts and associated risks. This replaces manual report compilation, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. The impact is readily available, with up-to-date insights for stakeholders, facilitating quicker decision-making and more effective identity governance.
Orchestration Toolbox
Azure Active Directory: Azure AD is this workflow's primary source of user identity information. It provides comprehensive data about user accounts, including roles, group memberships, and authentication methods. By integrating Azure AD, the workflow ensures that the most up-to-date Microsoft ecosystem user data is incorporated into the account enrichment process.
SailPoint Suite (Access Risk Management, IdentityNow, IdentityIQ): The SailPoint tools are crucial in identity governance and risk assessment. Access Risk Management analyzes the enriched user data to identify potential security risks. IdentityNow and IdentityIQ contribute additional identity and access management data, providing a holistic view of user entitlements across various systems. This integration enables advanced risk analysis and compliance monitoring.
AWS API Gateway: AWS API Gateway acts as an intermediary, facilitating secure communication between the workflow and AWS services. It allows user account information to be retrieved from AWS environments, ensuring that cloud-based identities are included in the enrichment process. This integration extends the scope of account analysis to include cloud infrastructure access.
Ping Identity: Ping Identity provides additional user authentication and authorization data. It contributes information about single sign-on (SSO) usage, multi-factor authentication (MFA) status, and other identity verification details. Incorporating Ping Identity gives the workflow a more complete picture of user authentication practices across the organization.
