The Engineer path: Elevating your skills to advanced levels 

Once you’ve built a strong foundation as an Identity Security Administrator, the Identity Security Engineer training path takes things to the next level. This advanced training path delves into the skills that are essential for more technical, hands-on roles: complex troubleshooting, API integrations, custom configurations and workflows and is designed for those who want expert-level control and customization capabilities of SailPoint Identity Security Cloud. 

Here’s a quick overview of what has changed in the Identity Security Engineer path: 

• The following course was added: Configure and Extend Identity Security Cloud Connectors  

• A brand-new credential exam was added: Identity Security Expert Knowledge Credential  

• The following credential exam was removed: Identity Security Professional Knowledge Credential (you can find this credential exam within the Identity Secuity Administrator training path)

Two paths, one goal: Success and growth 

The Identity Security Administrator training path is foundational, while the Identity Security Engineer training path is proficiency. By distinguishing these paths by role, we ensure that every learner can progress logically and confidently, without skipping essential building blocks. The Administrator path equips you with the core knowledge, making the transition to the Engineer path smoother and more effective. 

In essence, foundational training isn’t just the first step; it’s the critical launchpad for advanced proficiency. When you invest in learning the basics first, you’re setting yourself up for long-term success—whether you’re managing security or engineering innovative solutions. 

Ready to earn your Identity Security Expert Knowledge Credential? Begin with the Administrator path to lay your foundation and then take the leap into the Engineer path when you’re ready to explore the depths of platform expertise. 

In SaaS and cybersecurity, strong foundations matter. SailPoint’s role-based paths the Administrator and Engineer start with the basics. Begin with the Administrator path to master core skills and support your organization, then advance to the Engineer for deeper expertise. Build your skills on a solid base and unlock new opportunities.

Identity University learning is no longer a destination, it’s a journey.  

We’re excited to announce major updates to two of our main training paths: Identity Security Engineer and Identity Security Administrator. These improvements will not only help you level up your identity security skills but also allow you to showcase your expertise with new and improved Knowledge Credentials. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to reimagine your identity security strategy and sharpen your technical skills in a collaborative, expert-led environment.
