Product Manager

Saviynt’s Enterprise Identity Cloud helps modern enterprises scale cloud initiatives and solve the toughest security and compliance challenges in record time. The company brings together identity governance (IGA), granular application access, cloud security, and privileged access (PAM) to secure the entire business ecosystem and provide a frictionless user experience. The world’s largest brands trust Saviynt to accelerate digital transformation, empower distributed workforces, and meet continuous compliance.

Access certification is a process that ensures that the access rights and permissions of users for various enterprise applications are reviewed, validated, and approved periodically by appropriate authorities in an organization. It helps in identifying unauthorized access and preventing security breaches. Saviynt’s  cloud-based identity governance and administration (IGA) solution provides access certification capabilities through its SaaS offering. Saviynt's access certification solution enables organizations to automate the access certification process, streamline compliance reporting, and maintain a strong security posture. With Saviynt's access certification solution, organizations can define access policies and rules for different user types, roles, and responsibilities. The solution automates the access certification process by sending notifications to managers and supervisors to review access rights for their team members and provides an easy to use interface where they can approve, revoke or modify access rights based on their assessment.
