Saviynt Accelerates Partner Growth Across Australia and New Zealand Through Saviynt University

Saviynt, a leading provider of cloud-native identity and governance platform solutions, continues to scale its global upskilling initiative through Saviynt University. In Sydney and Melbourne, Saviynt partner bootcamps trained over 40 individuals from 19 organizations in just two days. The initiative is part of a broader effort to equip the global workforce with the skills needed to secure today’s digital enterprises.

Dan Mountstephen, senior vice president of APJ (Asia-Pacific and Japan) at Saviynt said, “Saviynt is completely redefining the identity security landscape with our cloud-native, converged platform and implementation-first approach. Through initiatives like Saviynt University, we are not just enabling partners, we are accelerating their growth by delivering deep technical enablement, AI-driven identity intelligence, and proven deployment strategies. In Australia and New Zealand, our partners are already leading the charge with faster go-lives and smarter solutions that scale.”

The bootcamps in Australia are part of a broader global rollout of Saviynt University workshops, following successful sessions in India, EMEA and advancing into the United States throughout 2025. The initiative comes at a critical time, as the global cybersecurity workforce gap has surged to 4.8 million professionals, according to the 2024 ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, a 19% year-over-year increase. In Australia alone, the skills gap jumped 71%, with only one cybersecurity expert for every 240 businesses, underscoring the urgency of specialized identity training.

“The energy and technical acumen shown by our Australian partner community was incredible,” said Suraj Krishnaiah, vice president, Enablement and Solutions at Saviynt. “With each Saviynt University session, we are seeing greater technical depth and stronger implementation confidence across our global partner ecosystem. The Identity Cloud’s capabilities combined with the expertise of our partner ecosystem are setting a new benchmark for rapid, intelligent identity deployments.”

Led by Saviynt’s senior leadership including Krishnaiah, Vice President of Partner Sales for Asia-Pacific and Japan Sunil Kedaraji, and Channel Director ANZ region Reno Maglitto, along with technical experts from the United States and Australia, the sessions offered a blend of hands-on product deep dives, real-world implementation insights, and gamified simulations. Attendees explored Time-to-Value (TTV) methodology, Privileged Access Management (PAM), and AI integration in identity workflows. They also gained insights into the latest innovations, including Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) and Just-in-Time Access (JITA).

“I am proud of the strong momentum we are building in Australia,” said Kedaraji. “This initiative reflects our ongoing investment in empowering partners with the knowledge, tools, and technical capabilities needed to confidently deliver best-in-class identity security solutions. Our focus remains on deepening collaboration, enabling faster deployments, and driving business outcomes for customers through a trusted partner-first approach.”

This global expansion of Saviynt University reflects the company’s commitment to bridging the identity skills gap, supporting partners with scalable local resources, and advancing enterprise identity security maturity across industries and regions.
