As enterprises increasingly adopt complex AI-driven systems, managing the rising number of AI agents has become a critical concern. A yet-to-be-released SailPoint survey reveals that 82% of organisations are already utilising AI agents, highlighting the need for robust governance over these new digital identities. Matt Mills, president of SailPoint, stated, “The traditional approach to identity governance—relying on static policies and manual oversight—can’t keep up with today’s enterprise complexity.”
SailPoint says its Harbor Pilot suite of AI-powered agents aims to transform identity security operations, enabling teams to work smarter, respond faster, and enhance overall security efficiency within organisations.
Key features of Harbor Pilot
- AI-driven insights: Harbor Pilot automates identity security tasks, significantly reducing the administrative burden on security teams. By providing real-time access to identity insights through conversational prompts, it eliminates the need for complex queries and manual searches.
- Streamlined workflow creation: The Harbor Pilot Workflows Generator allows security teams to design intricate identity security workflows effortlessly. By simply describing their requirements, teams can generate optimised workflows, minimising errors and saving valuable time.
- Documentation accessibility: The Documentation Q&A feature rapidly delivers relevant security documentation, allowing professionals to resolve issues faster and align security operations with business goals.
With the looming threat landscape and a shortage of skilled professionals, SailPoint's Harbour Pilot acts as a force multiplier for security teams. By automating repetitive tasks, it enables them to concentrate on high-impact security strategies rather than mundane administrative duties.
As Gartner predicts a dramatic rise in agentic AI—where AI systems will autonomously make decisions—securing AI agents becomes paramount. SailPoint's unified approach, exemplified by its Atlas platform, ensures that all identity types, including human, machine, and AI agents, are managed under a single framework. This enhances visibility, compliance, and risk reduction through AI-driven automation.
