Mark McClain, SailPoint’s CEO and founder, was recently interviewed by Jason Meserve, a reporter with Network World for the Network World Panorama Podcast series.

This can lead to fraud and internal threats to data systems. Mark talks about how to aggregate user login information and share in a non-technical way with business leaders to ensure greater system security.

Mark McClain, CEO and Founder of SailPoint, joins Mike Amadei, Director at PricewaterhouseCoopers for a follow-up to a recent panel discussion they participated in during the Digital ID World Conference in Anaheim, CA.
