Case Study: Philips achieves stronger security posture and centralized identity management with SailPoint Technologies

Philips Improves Security Posture by Leveraging Identity Security

Philips, a global health‑technology company, needed to enable employees to move quickly and innovate while protecting sensitive data during a broad digital transformation and cloud migration. The challenge was fragmented, decentralized identity and access management across acquisitions and data centers, which risked inconsistent controls, higher operational costs, and regulatory exposure.

Philips centralized identity security by moving SailPoint to AWS and implementing a zero‑trust, governance‑driven identity program guided by professional services. The change improved performance, scalability, and flexibility; strengthened security posture and compliance; enhanced user experience; and reduced operational costs, with plans to add SailPoint’s risk‑based and AI capabilities next.
