About SailPoint

SailPoint sells identity security software that discovers, governs and secures every human and non-human identity from a single platform. SailPoint says AI agents and bots form a new workforce that legacy tools cannot see. Non-human identities already outnumber the workforce they serve, and few organizations have proper controls to govern them, in SailPoint's words.[14]

The SailPoint Platform delivers Adaptive Identity through two solutions. SailPoint Identity Security is the continuous, cloud-native solution for modern enterprises. IdentityIQ delivers deep, customizable governance for complex, hybrid, and heavily regulated environments. Atlas is the foundation that powers SailPoint Identity Security. Atlas provides common services for connectivity, data models, AI-driven analytics, and workflow automation. SailPoint says it discovers every identity, entitlement, and access path, governs by enforcing least privilege and orchestrating access policies, and protects by taking real-time action to remediate risk, revoke access, and adapt to changing behavior.[1][15]

SailPoint Identity Security brings together SailPoint Human Fabric and SailPoint Agentic Fabric to govern human, non-employee, machine, and agent identities within one unified experience. Human Fabric and Agentic Fabric are the two products within SailPoint Identity Security. Human Fabric shifts workforce governance from scheduled audits to continuous, always-on protection. SailPoint Agentic Fabric discovers, governs, and secures non-human identities such as service accounts, machines, and AI agents. Agent Identity Security has evolved into SailPoint Agentic Fabric, which unifies AI agents, their users, and the tools they access in one governed view. SailPoint connects directly to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Salesforce, and other systems to automatically onboard AI agents and other NHIs.[15][16][17]

SailPoint Entro performs deep, contextual scanning across code repositories, cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, and SaaS applications to help build a comprehensive inventory of machine identities. SailPoint announced its intent to acquire Entro to advance non-human identity security. SailPoint Entro connects non-human identities to human identities through ownership attribution and deep lineage mapping. NHIDR is a proactive defense mechanism that continuously monitors machine identity behavior. SailPoint-Entro helps IAM and AppSec teams discover, govern, and secure AI agents, non-human identities, and secrets across every environment.[18]

SailPoint Data Access Security extends identity security and access controls to data, securing access across every identity, human or machine. Data Access Security discovers where critical information lives, classifies it, and enforces least-privilege access policies. Data Access Security adds data-centric risk insight to SailPoint access certifications, showing who accessed what data, how often, and why. SecOps Identity Intelligence delivers governance-grade identity context directly into security workflows to help teams investigate threats faster and make more informed response decisions. With Machine Identity Security, owners can be assigned directly from the discovery results, so that no account is left without accountability.[19][20][21]

SailPoint IdentityIQ is an identity security platform custom-built for complex enterprises. Its core modules are Compliance Manager, Lifecycle Manager, Password Manager, and File Access Manager. IdentityIQ connects through SailPoint's library of standards-based connectors, using protocols such as REST, SCIM, JDBC, CSV, and LDAP. IdentityIQ applies AI and machine learning through SailPoint Predictive Identity to discover suspicious or anomalous access, maintain continuous compliance, and improve productivity. SailPoint lists 200+ connectors and integrations to help manage access to critical applications. SailPoint Identity Security Cloud is a bundle of SaaS capabilities for building an identity security program wherever a customer is in its identity journey. SailPoint Agentic Acceleration is meant to eliminate hundreds of hours of manual data collection and planning.[15][22][23]

Lifecycle Management handles onboarding, offboarding, and changes throughout the user journey. SaaS Workflows let customers build and adapt automated tasks. SailPoint provides flexible, policy-based workflows that can distinguish between full-time employees, contractors, partners, and temporary workers. SailPoint says it manages and governs non-employee identities from onboarding to offboarding.[14][24]
