Cybersecurity firm SailPoint returns to markets as the first major tech IPO of the year

SailPoint is the first big test of the tech IPO market in 2025, which is expected to see well-known names such as Stripe potentially debut as companies bank on a friendlier regulatory backdrop under President Trump.

The cybersecurity firm SailPoint Technologies has made a notable return to the public markets through a merger with the blank-check company Thoma Bravo Advantage.
