There's a new frontier in identity security, and it all has to do with AI. Many organizations are adopting AI agents and AI-powered solutions at a rapid pace, still discovering all that they make possible. But with those deployments, enterprises must also consider how to secure AI.
These two sides of the AI equation are leading organizations to rethink their approach to identity security. The paradigm must shift, and it's now table stakes that identity security must not only secure AI agents but also use AI itself if it is to keep pace with innovation.
As organizations race to navigate both the risks and opportunities of the AI era, the Saviynt Identity Cloud is enhancing its already robust AI capabilities to deliver even more intelligent, end-to-end identity security for all identities: human, non-human and AI agents.
Building on its proven AI-powered foundation, we’re thrilled to introduce Saviynt’s AI-driven innovations that help organizations secure and manage every identity while deploying AI agents to enhance productivity, efficiency and resilience.
We are excited to introduce new capabilities that are purpose-built for key organizational personas. These capabilities enable business users to work efficiently, security analysts to identify and reduce risks, compliance teams to uphold governance, administrators to control access, and incident responders to react quickly and effectively to security events.
Today, we’re unveiling three key advancements:
The number of applications organizations use continues to increase, creating significant challenges for identity security teams. This includes governing a large number of disconnected applications.
A Ponemon study found that 49% of organizations don’t track how many disconnected apps they have, and only 21% are confident they know all apps in use. Whether it’s a marketing team’s analytics tool or a finance application, disconnected apps can slip through the cracks, leaving a massive gap in security oversight.
The result? It’s becoming increasingly difficult to maintain identity security throughout an environment, as organizations either cannot manage identity-related application risks or simply accept the risk brought about by the lack of visibility throughout their environment.
To help organizations combat this critical situation, we are introducing a new Integration and Onboarding Agent, a groundbreaking agentic AI-based capability that transforms how organizations govern disconnected applications.
Use natural language prompts to perform actions such as rule set creation.
Unlike robotic process automation (RPA) bots that follow rigid scripts or simple natural language processor (NLP) tools that only interpret commands, Saviynt's Integration and Onboarding Agent leverages Computer Using Agent (CUA) technology that sees, understands, and interacts with applications the same way a human administrator does. This human-like interaction means it adapts when interfaces change, understands context across workflows, and reduces integration timelines from weeks to hours while ensuring complete visibility and control across your application portfolio.
By automating what was once a complex, manual process, organizations can now more easily govern every application across their environment while accelerating deployment and improving governance consistency.
Non-human identities (NHIs) now outnumber human identities 82:1, yet 68% of organizations lack the tools to govern AI systems and large language models (LLMs). Behind the scenes, countless service accounts, API tokens and automation scripts are continuously accessing systems, moving data, and executing tasks 24/7 — often without sufficient oversight. Securing these NHIs is no longer optional; it’s a critical component of a modern identity security strategy.
To support organizations in their ability to address identity security for any identity, Saviynt is expanding its proven ISPM capabilities to cover non-human identities. Building on our established ISPM foundation, this enhancement enables organizations to discover all non-human identities across the enterprise and apply the same rigorous posture management available for human identities — with prioritized findings across workloads, accounts and credentials.
ISPM for NHI extends Saviynt's existing risk remediation workflows with native ServiceNow integration, providing a unified view of relationships between service accounts, their access to resources and credentials, associated entitlements, and ownership. It also maintains the same audit readiness standards organizations rely on, with a timeline view that tracks every lifecycle change of NHIs.
Saviynt ISPM now supports posture management for your non-human and AI agent identities.
While AI agents fall under the non-human identity category, their autonomous behavior and decision-making capabilities make them more dynamic. These agents act independently, learn and interact with complex infrastructure and intelligence stacks.
Assigning identities to AI agents is therefore essential, enabling organizations to enforce least privilege through ephemeral access, manage entitlements based on specific tasks, and ensure decision attribution and accountability.
Saviynt’s ISPM for AI Agents introduces a comprehensive framework for securing these dynamic entities. It begins by discovering all AI components — including agents, MCP servers and tools — across both infrastructure and intelligence layers and assessing their security postures for effective governance. Just as critically, it enables organizations to establish proactive guardrails, map complete access paths and track changes over time through a timeline view that supports continuous audit readiness.
This approach extends the same level of identity security and governance applied to human users to AI agents—ensuring decision attribution, accountability, and governance over every autonomous action they perform.
ISPM for AI Agents lets organizations quickly identify worrisome access paths and uncover detailed risk insights for their agents
As AI agents become integral to business operations, the challenge is twofold: securing these new identities while harnessing their power to strengthen security itself. This isn’t about choosing between protection and innovation. Saviynt Identity Cloud addresses both, extending ISPM to cover non-human and AI agents while leveraging agentic AI to make identity security smarter and more adaptive. With AI-driven agent capabilities, organizations can confidently embrace the AI era, securing every identity while empowering AI agents to enhance productivity, efficiency and resilience.
Our continued investment in AI-driven capabilities reflects our commitment to being your trusted partner in the evolving landscape of identity security. Together, we can unlock the full potential of AI while ensuring every identity — human, non-human and AI agents — is governed, protected and empowered.
Over the next 6 weeks, we’ll expound on the empowerment and protection Saviynt’s AI capabilities can bring to bear with in-depth blog posts, live demos and webinars. Additionally, we’ll be highlighting these new capabilities during our 2025 UNLOCK roadshow that is taking place in six cities around the globe over the next two months.
