TLDR: SailPoint has launched an expanded platform designed to provide Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and enterprises with a unified, intelligence-driven solution for governing all identity types: human, machine, AI agents, and non-employees. This new platform, featuring Agent Identity Security (AIS) and enhanced Observability & Insights, aims to reduce risk, enforce least privilege, and simplify identity management in the evolving AI landscape.
Austin, Texas – SailPoint, a leader in enterprise identity security, has announced a significant expansion of its identity security portfolio with the introduction of the new SailPoint Platform. This adaptive, intelligence-driven foundation is engineered to unify identity, data, and security across a diverse spectrum of identities, including human users, machine identities, AI agents, and non-employee entities. The announcement, initially made during SailPoint’s 2025 Navigate series on September 30, 2025, and subsequently highlighted by MSSP Alert on October 20, 2025, positions the company at the forefront of adaptive identity security for the AI era.
The core of this innovation lies in its ability to address the burgeoning challenge of managing an explosion of non-human identities, particularly with the rapid rise of AI and autonomous agents. These entities can make millions of autonomous decisions in minutes and even generate new sub-agents, creating a security challenge of unprecedented scale and complexity. The SailPoint Platform aims to provide unified visibility and control, bridging the gap between identity context and security context that often leaves businesses exposed.
Key innovations and enhancements within the SailPoint Platform include:
Agent Identity Security (AIS): This new solution is purpose-built to secure AI agents down to the entitlement level. It enables enterprises to discover, govern, and secure every agent across the enterprise, ensuring consistent governance and proactive remediation. AIS allows organizations to formally certify AI agents, assigning clear ownership 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 extends to files, rows, and columns, bringing trust, compliance, and security to autonomous AI.
Observability & Insights: This component provides deep visibility into identity behaviors, anomalies, and trends across multiple tenants. For MSSPs, this means delivering proactive, risk-aware identity operations without increasing overhead. It offers deeper access visibility, allowing for continuous risk reduction and simplified multi-tenant governance.
Enhanced Machine Identity Security (MIS) and Non-Employee Risk Management (NERM): These updates strengthen the platform’s foundation by improving control over the growing number of machine identities and managing risks associated with contractors and third-party partners.
Dave Schwartz, SVP of Global Partners at SailPoint, emphasized the platform’s ability to deliver full visibility across the identity spectrum. ‘The SailPoint Platform enables enterprises to move from static privilege to a dynamic, adaptive approach to identity security,’ Schwartz stated. ‘With unified governance across all identity types, users can easily visualize and govern all identities, permissions, and entitlements to enforce least privilege and reduce risk across complex environments.’

For MSSPs, the unified, intelligent platform approach is critical. It provides deep discovery and governance capabilities across fragmented environments, offering the visibility and control necessary to deliver consistent, policy-driven identity security for their clients. The platform’s ability to learn, adapt, and scale with evolving client needs is a significant advantage in today’s dynamic threat landscape. SailPoint’s vision is to deliver identity-first, data-first security, with AI intelligence guiding how enterprises govern access, detect risks, and respond to evolving threats, ultimately setting a new standard for adaptive identity security.
