Saviynt Recognized as Leader | Frost Radar: Non-Human Identity Solutions, 2025

We are proud to share that Saviynt has been recognized as a Leader in Frost & Sullivan's Frost Radar™: Non-Human Identity Solutions, 2025. 

Frost & Sullivan have recognized our ability to help organizations govern one of the fastest-growing and least-controlled areas of enterprise security.

As cloud adoption, automation, and AI-driven systems accelerate, identity is no longer mostly about people. Modern enterprises now rely on service accounts, workloads, APIs, and AI agents to run core operations. According to Frost & Sullivan, these non-human identities already outnumber human identities by more than 17 to 1 in large enterprises.

This shift is forcing organizations to rethink how identity is managed, secured, and governed.

Why Non-Human Identity Has Become a Security Priority

Traditional identity programs were built for employees and contractors. But today’s environments depend on non-human identities created dynamically through DevOps pipelines, cloud services, and automated workflows. Frost & Sullivan describes these identities as the connective layer of modern systems — and one of the most overlooked sources of risk.

The report highlights several challenges organizations are struggling to address:

Scale and Speed

Non-human identities are created and retired continuously across multicloud and hybrid environments. Millions of service accounts, tokens, certificates, and ephemeral workloads make manual tracking and review unrealistic without automation.

Excess and Lingering Access

Machine identities often accumulate permissions over time. Without clear ownership or lifecycle controls, elevated access can persist long after it is needed, increasing exposure to misuse or compromise.

Fragmented Ownership

Responsibility for non-human identities is typically split across DevOps, IT, and security teams. This lack of clear accountability creates blind spots in visibility, governance, and enforcement.

As a result, Frost & Sullivan notes that organizations are increasingly treating non-human identity governance with the same rigor as human identity, aligning it with zero trust principles and identity security posture management (ISPM) strategies.

 

 

What Frost & Sullivan Recognized About Saviynt

Frost & Sullivan positioned Saviynt as a Leader for its ability to govern human and non-human identities together, rather than treating machine identity as a standalone problem.

At the core of this approach is the Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud, which brings non-human identities into the same governance framework organizations already rely on for workforce and privileged access.

Key strengths highlighted in the report include:

Unified Visibility

Saviynt provides automated discovery and classification of non-human identities across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments, helping organizations understand where service accounts, workloads, and credentials exist — and how they are used.

Continuous Risk Assessment

By analyzing behavior and access patterns, Saviynt surfaces overprivileged, unused, or misconfigured non-human identities before they become security incidents.

Lifecycle Governance at Scale

Saviynt applies lifecycle controls such as provisioning, policy enforcement, and deprovisioning,  to non-human identities, reducing reliance on static credentials and long-lived access.

 

Frost & Sullivan also highlighted Saviynt’s integration of zero standing privilege (ZSP) principles across both human and non-human identities, addressing one of the most persistent risks in enterprise security: permanent, unused, or excessive access.

A Market Moving Toward Convergence

The Frost Radar report makes clear that the non-human identity market is evolving quickly. In its 2025 analysis, Frost & Sullivan estimates that the global non-human identity solutions market will grow from $5 billion in 2024 to $11 billion by 2030, driven by rising demand for platforms that can secure identities created by automation and AI.

Rather than adding point solutions, organizations are consolidating identity capabilities to reduce complexity and improve control. Saviynt’s converged platform, which spans identity governance, privileged access, and cloud identity, aligns with this direction, helping enterprises manage identity risk across rapidly changing environments.
