TLDR: SailPoint has launched significant enhancements to its platform, including Agent Identity Security and Observability & Insights, to unify identity, data, and security with advanced AI intelligence. These new capabilities aim to address the complex challenges of securing human, machine, and AI agent identities in an evolving threat landscape, providing adaptive governance and improved threat response.
AUSTIN, Texas – SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leading provider in enterprise identity security, has announced a groundbreaking vision for the future of enterprise security, underpinned by its enhanced SailPoint Platform. Kicking off its 2025 Navigate series on September 30, 2025, the company unveiled new capabilities designed to deliver identity-first, data-first security, leveraging AI intelligence to guide how organizations govern access, detect risks, and respond to dynamic threats.
The core of these announcements includes the introduction of Agent Identity Security and Observability & Insights, alongside substantial updates to Data Access Security and Atlas. These innovations are tailored to address the rapidly expanding attack surface created by the proliferation of human, machine, and increasingly, AI agent identities accessing applications and data across distributed environments.
Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and CTO at SailPoint, emphasized the necessity of a modern approach. “This new reality requires an adaptive identity model—a modern approach that unifies identity, data, and security to deliver continuous, contextual protection,” said Gnanasambandam. He added, “Unlike static, siloed tools built for yesterday’s environment, the SailPoint Platform sets a new standard, delivering identity security that is unified, intelligent, and adaptive by design. Our approach meets a world where perimeters have disappeared, data is scattered, and threats are intelligent, evolving and unrelenting.”
One of the most significant new offerings is SailPoint Agent Identity Security (AIS), now generally available. This solution is purpose-built to secure AI agents down to the entitlement level, a critical advancement given that these entities can make millions of autonomous decisions and even generate new sub-agents, posing unique security challenges. AIS enables enterprises to discover, govern, and secure every agent, formally certifying AI agents by assigning clear owner and user accountability, enforcing proper permissions, and linking agents directly to the identity context of the users they represent and the data they access. This granular control, extending down to files, rows, and columns, is crucial for bringing trust, compliance, and security to the era of autonomous AI.
The company also introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, which integrates identity security capabilities into AI-native environments, empowering agentic applications with trusted, enterprise-grade identity services. This allows organizations to harness the power of AI without compromising trust, compliance, or control.
Further enhancements include Observability & Insights, which provides comprehensive visibility and actionable intelligence across all identities. Updates to Data Access Security now feature an integration with Snowflake, extending SailPoint’s capabilities to structured data. This integration offers centralized identity context and visibility into human, machine, and AI agent access to data, thereby reducing the risk of sensitive data leakage through large language models (LLMs), agents, or unauthorized applications. Additionally, Atlas Workflows gains Adaptive Approvals, offering custom, intelligent approval paths that dynamically adjust based on risk and business context, ensuring flexible, context-aware governance.
SailPoint also expanded its capabilities for Non-Employee Risk Management with integration with Microsoft Entra Verified ID, facilitating faster and more secure onboarding of contractors and other non-employees using verifiable credentials and biometric verification. For machine identities, which often outnumber human users, new multi-host classification and machine account sub-types have been added to streamline governance and ensure consistent discovery across complex environments.
