Today marks a pivotal moment in enterprise security, and we're excited to share how this new era directly benefits our valued Identity Security Cloud (ISC) customers. The workforce is no longer just human, and as AI agents rapidly integrate into every facet of business operations, SailPoint is defining the future of identity security for this AI-powered enterprise. We've listened to your needs, and we're thrilled to announce the SailPoint Agentic Fabric, a comprehensive solution designed to secure your AI initiatives without compromising innovation.
The evolving landscape: Why this change matters to you
The rapid adoption of AI has led to an explosion of non-human identities, such as AI agents, bots, and machine accounts, which now operate with significant privilege and at machine speed. These identities, while driving unprecedented productivity, are creating a massive security blind spot and a new, critical attack surface that often exists outside traditional security and identity and access management (IAM) controls. Gartner predicts that by 2028, a quarter of all breaches will occur through this agent-based attack surface due to poor machine identity hygiene. This "new identity crisis" means that confident innovation with AI at scale is impossible without a robust strategy to secure this "agentic workforce".
What the SailPoint Agentic Fabric means for Identity Security Cloud customers
The SailPoint Agentic Fabric is an identity-centric set of capabilities delivered by our core SailPoint Platform, designed to provide comprehensive visibility, robust governance, and real-time response for this new era of enterprise AI. Crucially, this announcement brings a significant advantage for our Identity Security Cloud customers. The Agentic Fabric is not a separate, siloed tool; it integrates with and extends our proven capabilities, allowing you to leverage your existing investment in SailPoint's platform to secure your AI identities.
The Agentic Fabric helps you through these three core pillars:
- Discovery & Unified Visibility: Find every agent and non-human identity, providing a single source of truth and mapping its complex relationships to humans, data, and other identities. This helps you see what you couldn't before, eliminating AI blind spots.
- Real-time Governance & Audit: Extend enterprise-grade governance to every agent, ensuring clear ownership, enforcing least privilege from creation to retirement, and providing a full audit trail for compliance.
- Proactive Protection & Response: Use AI to continuously monitor agent behavior, identify risks in real-time, calculate dynamic AI agent risk scores, and trigger automated, machine-speed remediation to stop threats instantly.
