Saviynt Unveils AI-Native Identity Security Platform Built for the Agentic Era

In the race to secure the modern enterprise, identity is emerging as the ultimate control point — and Saviynt is betting that AI is the key to managing it at scale.

This week, the Los Angeles–based identity security company announced sweeping upgrades to its platform, introducing agentic AI capabilities designed to automate one of cybersecurity’s most intractable problems: governing every identity, human and otherwise, across sprawling digital ecosystems.

Breaking the Onboarding Bottleneck

Identity security has long struggled with a basic but monumental task — onboarding applications. According to a Ponemon Institute study, nearly half of organizations don’t even know how many unconnected apps they have. Each of those blind spots represents a potential security risk.

Saviynt’s new Agentic AI Onboarding for Applications aims to eliminate that gap. The system uses autonomous AI agents to automatically discover, connect, and secure both cloud-based and legacy applications. It brings disconnected apps into a single governance framework, reducing manual work and collapsing weeks of integration into minutes.

By unifying all applications under one identity platform, enterprises can gain the complete visibility that’s often missing in fragmented identity programs — a crucial foundation for Zero Trust strategies.

Identity Governance Beyond Humans

As enterprises adopt AI, the number of non-human identities — from service accounts to automated agents — is exploding. Saviynt estimates that machine and AI identities now outnumber human users by 82 to 1, creating a massive new attack surface.

“AI is reshaping enterprise security at every level. Identities no longer belong only to people – they now extend to non-human users like machines, applications, and AI agents,” said Sachin Nayyar, CEO of Saviynt. “Our latest AI innovations ensure that every identity is governed with the same rigor, context, and automation.”

The company’s expanded Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM) now provides continuous visibility and risk insight across all identity types. The ISPM for AI Agents includes full lifecycle management for AI components such as MCP servers and orchestration tools, integrating context signals from major security partners like CrowdStrike. Meanwhile, the ISPM for Non-Human Identities adds unified inventories, access policies, and one-click remediation to keep machine accounts compliant and auditable.

Embedding AI Into the Fabric of Security

While many vendors are layering AI on top of existing systems, Saviynt’s strategy centers on AI as a foundational design principle.

“Saviynt has always been at the forefront of identity innovation,” said Vibhuti Sinha, Chief Product Officer. “While others are experimenting with AI overlays, we’re embedding AI natively into the fabric of identity security. This isn’t just about adding new features—it’s about delivering an end-to-end, AI-first platform that helps enterprises govern more effectively, scale seamlessly, and confidently embrace the future of digital business.”

This native integration means AI isn’t an optional accelerator — it’s the operating engine. The platform’s intelligent workflows continuously learn from access patterns, security incidents, and compliance data to recommend or automate policy enforcement across hybrid environments.

Zero Trust at Machine Scale

Saviynt’s announcement underscores a broader industry shift toward treating every identity — human, machine, or AI — as a potential security boundary. By consolidating identity governance, privileged access management, and posture assessment under one AI-powered platform, the company is positioning itself as an enabler of true Zero Trust at enterprise scale.

The company will showcase these innovations during its 2025 UNLOCK Roadshow, which kicks off later this month across six global cities.

In an era where AI systems increasingly act, decide, and even communicate autonomously, Saviynt’s bet is clear: the future of security belongs to those who can secure the identities that power intelligence itself.
