Case Study: Silicon Valley Bank achieves rapid, automated identity governance and reduced risk with SailPoint Technologies

Silicon Valley Bank Innovates Identity

Silicon Valley Bank, a $51 billion institution serving thousands of high-tech clients, faced heavy regulatory scrutiny and fragmented, ad hoc identity management across business units. That inconsistency slowed provisioning, hurt productivity, and increased cybersecurity and compliance risk, so the bank moved to standardize ownership and governance of identities and access.

SVB implemented a centralized identity governance program with automated access certifications, improved lifecycle management, and self-service provisioning. The team rapidly onboarded 165 applications, automated monthly certification of about 46,000 entitlements, grew the IAM team, eliminated orphaned and excessive accounts, and reduced regulatory and security risk while delivering clear operational efficiencies and staying under budget.
