Expert Statements
Matt Mills, President of SailPoint
“Autonomous agents are no longer just experimental copilots; they are becoming the primary execution layer of modern enterprises. Enterprises cannot afford to slow down AI innovation out of fear, nor can they afford ungoverned access chaos. Moving beyond Zero Trust to Autonomous Identity allows organizations to master the converged human-plus-AI workforce, eliminate invisible risk, and innovate with complete confidence.”
Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and Chief Technology Officer at SailPoint
“The idea that a security admin is going to review and approve access for a group of autonomous agents making 10,000 tool calls a second isn’t just outdated—it’s a fantasy. The only way to govern autonomous machines is with autonomous machine defense. We’ve built Autonomous Agents so enterprises can stop the threat, save the good agents, and bring human and non-human identity into real-time. In a near-AGI world, standing privilege is dead.”
Key Announcement Highlights: * Introducing SailPoint Autonomous Agents: SailPoint debuts three classes of Autonomous Agents that enforce policy, right-size privileges, and protect systems without disrupting legitimate business automation. * Autonomous Identity Security Posture Management (A-ISPM): New A-ISPM uses the live identity context in SailPoint Atlas to continuously uncover critical exposures across all identity types, then closes the loop with real-time remediation. * Expanded SailPoint Agentic and Human Fabrics: SailPoint expands its Agentic Fabric to map the entire AI agent surface area—enabling shadow AI discovery, runtime authorization, and instant 'kill switch' controls—while simultaneously advancing its Human Fabric with next-generation certifications and segmented identity data to give organizations finer-grained access governance. * Enhanced Atlas capabilities and Atlas Extensibility framework: New common services, SaaS plug-ins, and Workflow enhancements, including versioning, execution history, and serial loops of up to 1,000 iterations, make Atlas a more unified and extensible foundation for scaling identity security. * Zero Standing Privilege for humans and machines: New Just-in-Time (JIT) provisioning with conditions, plus effective privilege visibility, replaces always-on access for people, service accounts, and AI agents alike. AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today at Navigate 2026, its annual flagship conference, SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in enterprise identity security, announced significant new capabilities across SailPoint Agentic Fabric™ (SAF) and SailPoint Human Fabric™ (SHF), the two purpose-built products of its Identity Security solution, built on SailPoint Atlas. These innovations give enterprises what they need most in the agentic era: full visibility into every hidden AI tool, continuous compliance across human and machine workflows, the replacement of permanent access keys with temporary permissions, and the transformation of identity security from a static compliance check into real-time, automated defense.
