Identity management in the cloud emerges as hot-button issue for CIOs

摘要

As sallie Mae migrates some of its most important applications to the cloud, the nation's largest provider of college loans is keeping an eye on compliance. Sallie Mae uses identity management software from SailPoint to ensure that its 6,100 employees have appropriate levels of access to data and applications - regardless of whether it's stored in the cloud or at one of its data centers. "All of our cloud-based services - all of that access is controlled," says Jerry Archer, CSO for Sallie Mae, which uses hosted applications such as Workday for human resources functions.
