Explore Machine Account Discovery in Identity Security Cloud

Description

How many machines identities do I have? Where are they? Who owns them? What are they entitled to do within my applications? Your directories are packed with thousands of service accounts, bots, and machine accounts—many with incomplete data, inconsistent naming, and incorrect owners and/or OU memberships. How do you create a simple to manage, centralized, automated, and continuously monitored approach to controlling them?

SailPoint MIS leverages automation to efficiently discover, classify, assign ownership, and certify service accounts, bots, and other machine accounts. It scans hourly, identifying new machine accounts and presenting them in a familiar menu so you can review them. In this webinar we will demonstrate how SailPoint manages these identities, to support visibility, lifecycle management, and prevention of unauthorized access.

Hi @rleighter

I just ran through the exercise in my DevRel test tenant, which was explained in the webinar. I initially found a two-line item discrepancy, but later cross-verified it was my Classification configuring error where I selected Equals instead of Starts With.

Everything is working as promised and explained.

How do you apply attributes like “owner” to a machine identity?
How is LCS managed for a machine identity?

Hi @mario_rod great question! Im going to pass it off to @ed_miller to answer :slight_smile:

Hi @ed_miller, @rleighter,

Thank you for sharing this insightful overview of Machine Account Discovery in ISC! The challenges of managing machine identities are indeed significant, especially with the increasing complexity of digital environments.

I appreciate how MIS(Machine Identity Security) addresses these issues through automation, making it easier to discover, classify and map service accounts and bots. The ability to continuously monitor and certify these identities is crucial for maintaining security and compliance.

Looking forward to learning more about how SailPoint can help organizations streamline their machine identity security practice!
