Course Overview

This comprehensive identity governance training bridges the operational paradigms of on-premise enterprise software and modern multi-tenant cloud architectures by thoroughly covering both SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) and IdentityNow. Participants will explore core components of Identity and Access Management (IAM), engineering multi-system Joiner-Mover-Leaver (JML) pipelines from the ground up. The course provides deep technical instruction on onboarding target applications, constructing custom Java connectors, creating dynamic role-based access control models, and managing global access certification campaigns to ensure compliance with strict security mandates.

Who Should Learn

IAM Engineers, Security Architects, and Systems Integrators
Enterprise Security Analysts and Compliance Auditors
Java Developers pivoting into Identity Governance engineering
Technical Leads overseeing corporate digital access transformation initiatives

Prerequisites

  • Professional competence in Object-Oriented Programming, specifically using Java
  • Solid understanding of relational database design, structured SQL queries, and XML schemas
  • Familiarity with standard corporate infrastructure elements including active directories and network protocols

Learning Outcomes

Architect unified lifecycle event rules supporting automated Joiner, Mover, and Leaver pipelines
Configure on-premise IdentityIQ environments including identity data onboarding, schema mapping, and aggregation rules
Manage cloud-native IdentityNow configurations, utilizing exposed REST APIs and integration parameters
Program custom Java connectors and configure target integrations using standard REST communication vectors
Design multi-tier Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) frameworks matching complex enterprise security hierarchies
Orchestrate systemic governance certification campaigns, escalation rules, and automatic profile revocations
Deploy out-of-the-box tracking analytics to verify alignment with compliance rules like SOX and GDPR

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. This dual-focus master program devotes specialized, distinct modules to both SailPoint IdentityIQ (on-premise/cloud-hosted platform) and SailPoint IdentityNow (SaaS identity solution).
Because advanced modules involve developing custom connectors and coding complex rules, a strong foundational background in Java and basic scripting structures is highly recommended.
Yes, all students are provided dedicated cloud sandbox environments containing pre-configured enterprise targets like Active Directory, HR systems, and database images for the duration of the course.
