Covertix SmartCipherTM will be integrated into SailPoint’s IdentityIQTM, the market-leading identity and access management (IAM) solution. Covertix has joined the SailPoint Identity+ Alliance, which provides standards and tools to ease the integration of IT and security products, significantly increasing the effectiveness of a customer’s risk mitigation efforts in the event of a data breach.

“SmartCipher will complement our identity solution by ensuring that only the right people access secure information based on the access rights governed by our system,” said Joe Gottlieb, senior vice president of corporate development at SailPoint. “The combination delivers an extra layer of security, protecting critical data from breaches.”

Covertix SmartCipher data-centric technology protects information in motion, in use, and at rest locally, in the data center, on the cloud, mobile, and everywhere else, inside and out, with complete intelligence, governance and reporting. SmartCipherTM pairs perfectly with the existing classification and policy structures created within IdentityIQ. As qualified access changes in real-time, SmartCipher ensures document classification and protection as they are being created or used, in concert with the IdentityIQ policies already in place.

“Our focus on run-time context classification and protection melds with SailPoint’s identity and access management core, giving organizations thorough control over who, when, where, and how their intellectual property is accessed,” says Yoran Sirkis, CEO of Covertix.”
