As enterprises rush to deploy autonomous AI agents across cloud environments, a dangerous governance gap has emerged. SailPoint, Inc. , a leader in enterprise identity security, today announced SailPoint Agentic Fabric, a new solution designed to secure the rapidly expanding universe of non-human identities – including AI agents, machines, and applications – that now access critical systems at machine speed.
Unlike traditional human users, AI agents operate autonomously, often without clear ownership, consistent controls, or direct accountability.
This creates a blind spot for security teams already struggling to manage human identities. Agentic Fabric extends SailPoint’s proven Identity Security Cloud model to what the company calls agentic governance, providing discovery, visibility, governance, authorisation, and real-time protection in a single platform.
“You cannot secure what you cannot see, or what you cannot tie back to accountability,” said Matt Mills, president at SailPoint. “Agentic Fabric gives organisations the visibility, control, and context to keep autonomous agents secure, accountable, and connected to a human owner.”
The solution maps every AI agent to its human owner using an identity graph, creating a complete inventory across cloud environments, applications and endpoints. It then enforces least-privilege access with real-time threat detection and automated response.
This identity-centric approach aligns with independent research from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) , which recently warned that 78% of organisations lack formal policies for non-human identity governance, leaving them exposed to privilege escalation and data exfiltration through compromised AI agents.
“With Agentic Fabric, SailPoint is moving aggressively to secure one of the biggest emerging risks in enterprise AI: the rapid growth of AI agents and other non-human identities,” added Chandra Gnanasambadam, EVP of product and chief technology officer at SailPoint. “As this new identity landscape takes shape, organisations need a way to govern and protect human, machine and AI identities together.”
To help enterprises match security to the pace of AI adoption, SailPoint introduced two new packages: Agentic Business for foundational least-privilege governance, and Agentic Business Plus for zero-standing privilege with just-in-time access.
A Discovery Tool free trial is also available today, providing immediate visibility into shadow AI and unmanaged applications for net new and existing customers alike.
