How does identity analytics work in SailPoint?

Identity analytics in SailPoint operates by analyzing user access patterns and behaviors, which is crucial for identifying anomalies and potential risks associated with user identities within an organization. This process involves monitoring how users access and interact with various resources, helping organizations understand typical user behavior. When deviations from established patterns occur—such as unusual access to sensitive data or access from unrecognized locations—the system flags these activities for further investigation. This capability is essential for maintaining security and compliance, as it enables organizations to proactively manage risks related to identity and access management.

Other approaches listed, such as focusing on user interface design principles, assisting in financial audits, or documenting user feedback, do not directly relate to the core functionality of identity analytics. Each of those functions serves different purposes but does not encompass the analytical review of user behavior that is fundamental to identity analytics in SailPoint.
