Singapore – SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL) introduces a new identity security solution designed to close protection gaps across human, non-human, and AI agent identities. The announcement, made on 5 August 2026, positions the enterprise identity security firm at the centre of a growing industry conversation around securing the “converged workforce.”
At the heart of the launch is the SailPoint Identity Security solution, which combines two products: SailPoint Agentic Fabric, now generally available, and SailPoint Human Fabric, an evolution of the company’s existing Identity Security Cloud. Together, the two are engineered to deliver a continuous, real-time loop that discovers, governs, and protects identities across increasingly complex digital environments.
The move comes as enterprises grapple with what SailPoint describes as an identity-driven vulnerability crisis. According to the company’s own research, 97% of all AI agents have access to sensitive data, while only 21% of organisations say they are highly confident in their ability to manage AI agent security risks.
Meanwhile, the identity security landscape has struggled to keep pace with this shift. Some vendors, SailPoint notes, still rely on static, check-the-box audit certifications to manage fast-moving machine identities, while niche startups offer only siloed visibility graphs without any means of remediating threats.
By contrast, the new SailPoint Identity Security solution is powered by SailPoint Atlas and aims to unite human and machine context within a single, active layer of protection. In doing so, the company says organisations can own every identity while cutting down on manual security overhead.
Speaking on the launch, Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and Chief Technology Officer at SailPoint, echoed, “SailPoint Identity Security represents a fundamental shift in how organisations must neutralise identity vulnerabilities in an AI-driven world.”
“We are moving the industry beyond static compliance and into an active, continuous security loop. By unifying the ability to discover every identity, govern access lifecycle policies, and protect the enterprise through real-time risk remediation, we are giving security leaders the visibility and automation they need to confidently shut down modern attack vectors before they can be exploited,” Gnanasambandam added.
Turning to the human side of the equation, SailPoint Human Fabric is now delivered exclusively as part of the unified solution, rather than as a standalone product. It represents the continuous, always-on evolution of SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud.
As a result, human identity governance shifts away from static, scheduled audit processes and towards a continuous, real-time security posture. This, in turn, is intended to shrink the attack surface by moving enterprises closer to absolute Zero Standing Privilege.
To achieve this, the platform automatically discovers hidden privilege creep and delivers real-time identity context directly into SOC workflows, accelerating threat containment. It also applies Just-In-Time Provisioning, granting administrative access only for the exact duration a task requires.
On the machine side, SailPoint has also launched the general availability of SailPoint Agentic Fabric, available both as a standalone offering and as a core capability within the unified solution. The product is aimed squarely at the explosive, largely unmonitored growth of machine and AI identities within enterprise environments.
Functioning as a single, centralised control plane, Agentic Fabric is built to discover, govern, and protect automated enterprise environments. It leverages two lightweight sensors, SailPoint Endpoint Agent Security and SailPoint Browser Agent Security, to expose hidden AI agents, credentials, and Model Context Protocol servers that traditional tools typically miss.
From there, the platform wraps these identities in a set of active, real-time defences. These include inline prompt security that redacts sensitive personally identifiable information before it reaches large language models, a centralised “kill-switch” capable of instantly disabling rogue agents, and automated ownership rules designed to ensure human accountability for every machine account.
Beyond the technology itself, SailPoint is also working with integration partners to support customers in adopting a responsible and compliant agentic strategy. Among them is KPMG Canada, whose cybersecurity partner, Serena Tejani, offered her perspective on the collaboration.
“Securing the modern enterprise is no longer just about managing employee access; it is also about governing the complex relationships between human owners and their automated AI agents,” Tejani said.
“A real advantage of the SailPoint Identity Security solution is its ability to unify human and machine protection within a single, continuous loop. We are pleased to be an early alliance partner of the solution and with KPMG firms’ risk and security advisory services, we are helping organisations confidently scale their digital workforces, eliminate security blind spots, and transform identity from a point of vulnerability into a business-wide advantage,” she elaborated.
