About Saviynt

Saviynt sells an identity security platform for identity governance, privileged access and application security, including Zuma for AI agents and non-human identities. Saviynt describes Zuma as the enterprise AI identity security platform that provides the complete control plane for AI agents and non-human identities. Saviynt says it has secured over 100 million identities globally.[5][14][18]

Saviynt asks who is responsible for AI agent identities in a business and what system manages them. Saviynt says it registers and manages AI agents, including their access privileges and risk profile. Saviynt says it finds Shadow AI and remediates it. Saviynt says it enables AI builders to implement security into agents and apps as they build. Saviynt says it evaluates intent and context for every request at runtime so that agents do not work outside their intended scope.[1]

Zuma is organised into Zuma Insights, Zuma Access and Zuma Governance. Zuma Insights automatically discovers every AI agent, tool, MCP server and NHI across an ecosystem. Zuma Insights includes an access map that traces the path an AI agent or NHI takes to reach critical apps, data and tools. Zuma Insights includes a timeline view that keeps a record of every AI agent and NHI action and activity. Zuma for Apps is announced to govern AI agent and non-human identity access and actions in business-critical applications, evaluating delegated authority, intent, context and risk to allow, block or escalate actions.[2][5]

Saviynt lists Identity Governance & Administration, which automates identity lifecycles and enforces least-privilege access policies across cloud and on-premises environments. Identity Security Posture Management continuously surfaces and remediates identity risks, misconfigurations and excessive access before they become threats. Application Access Governance audits and controls user access within enterprise applications to prevent toxic combinations and maintain compliance. Privileged Access Management secures, monitors and manages privileged accounts and credentials across hybrid infrastructure. External Identity Management extends governance to vendors, contractors and partners with controlled, auditable access from onboarding to offboarding.[7][8][14]

Non-Human Identity discovers all non-human identities and enriches them with contextual insights. Saviynt says it automatically discovers all workloads, accounts and credentials across environments. Saviynt says non-human identities can be protected from Day 1 with Saviynt Identity Cloud. Just-in-Time Access secures high-risk access, eliminating standing privileges while keeping users productive. Just-in-Time Access grants time-bound, policy-driven access to risky entitlements. Saviynt says Just-in-Time Access can be activated for all connected apps within an hour. Saviynt says Application Onboarding decreases application integration and onboarding from weeks or months to hours. Saviynt says application onboarding with its Integration and Onboarding Agent eliminates the bottlenecks commonly associated with app onboarding and management. Saviynt Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server simplifies identity security through natural language interactions.[14][15][16][17]
