SailPoint Launches Regional SaaS Platform in Middle East to Support Compliance and Cloud Adoption

SailPoint, a global leader in unified identity security, has announced the launch of its first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform in the Middle East, set to go live in May 2025. This move marks a strategic step in SailPoint’s global expansion efforts and reinforces its commitment to delivering secure, regionally hosted identity security solutions.

A Regional Response to Digital Transformation

As digital transformation speeds up in the Middle East, organizations are facing new challenges around data privacy, meeting regulations, and staying secure online. SailPoint’s new regional SaaS offering addresses these needs head-on by providing local access to its AI-powered identity security platform, SailPoint Atlas.

Gary Nafus, Chief Commercial Officer at SailPoint, highlighted the platform’s strategic value:

“Our SaaS offering empowers organizations in the Middle East to fully embrace cloud technologies while enhancing security, compliance, and agility.”

By moving to a cloud-first model, businesses can also reduce IT overhead and eliminate the need for on-premises infrastructure, a critical factor for enterprises seeking cost-effective and scalable digital solutions.

Global Strategy, Local Commitment

This Middle East deployment is more than a product launch—it signals SailPoint’s long-term investment in the region. The SaaS instance is part of a broader push to bring localized, cloud-native solutions to markets with growing demand for identity security, particularly in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government.

As SailPoint continues to scale globally, this regional presence enhances its ability to partner with organizations navigating digital transformation while ensuring robust identity governance in a connected, cloud-driven world.
