Company Description
SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL) operates in the information sector, in the data processing, hosting, and related services industry, with a focus on enterprise identity security. The company positions identity as the foundation of enterprise security, addressing the needs of organizations whose workforces span both human and digital identities. According to SailPoint, modern enterprises rely on a diverse mix of employees, non-employees, machines, and AI agents accessing applications and data, and securing these identities is critical to overall security posture.
SailPoint delivers an identity-first security approach that is designed to help enterprises manage and secure access to applications and data at speed and scale. Its offerings are described as unified, intelligent, and extensible, aiming to help organizations defend against dynamic threats while also supporting productivity and business transformation. SailPoint states that many complex organizations rely on its technology to secure their environments.
Core Identity Security Focus
SailPoint’s core focus is on identity security for the enterprise. The company’s solutions are intended to give organizations visibility into which identities have access to which resources, which identities should have that access, and how that access is being used. This is reflected in the description that SailPoint delivers solutions to enable comprehensive identity security by unifying identity data across systems and identity types, including employee, non-employee, and machine identities.
The company’s SaaS and customer-hosted offerings leverage intelligent analytics to provide critical visibility into access patterns. These capabilities are designed to help organizations establish, control, and automate policies that define and maintain a strong security posture and support regulatory compliance.
SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and Platform
A central element of SailPoint’s strategy is the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, which the company describes as built to deliver breadth and depth across all enterprise identity types. Identity Security Cloud is intended to cover employees, non-employees, machines, and agents, combining lifecycle controls with automation to close gaps left by legacy approaches. SailPoint highlights that this cloud offering is designed to deliver adaptive identity capabilities that evolve with enterprise needs.
SailPoint also describes the SailPoint Platform as the foundation for its vision of identity-first, data-first security. The platform is presented as unifying identity, data, and security, with AI intelligence guiding how enterprises govern access, detect risks, and respond to evolving threats. Within this platform, Atlas is identified as the technology foundation of intelligent identity security, including capabilities such as Dynamic Security Orchestration, a Shared Signals Framework, and Atlas Workflows with Adaptive Approvals. These capabilities are intended to support context-aware governance, ingest real-time threat signals, and enable actions based on risk level.
Coverage of Human, Non-Human, and AI Identities
SailPoint emphasizes the growing complexity of identity landscapes, noting that identities now span humans, machines, and AI agents. The company describes a rapid rise in non-human identities and highlights that this expansion creates a larger attack surface and new governance challenges. SailPoint’s offerings are presented as addressing these challenges by providing unified visibility and control across identity types.
Within this context, SailPoint has introduced capabilities such as Agent Identity Security, described as a solution purpose-built to secure AI agents at the entitlement level. Agent Identity Security is intended to help enterprises discover, govern, and secure AI agents, certify them, assign ownership, enforce proper permissions, and link agents to the identity context of the users and data they represent. SailPoint notes that this allows organizations to bring trust, compliance, and security to environments that rely on autonomous AI.
The company also offers Machine Identity Security, which it describes as designed for the discovery, classification, and ownership of machine accounts at enterprise scale. Machine Identity Security supports classification of machine accounts, distinctions among service accounts, bots, and shared accounts, and centralized views of machine access entitlements. These capabilities are intended to support least-privilege approaches and reduce the risk associated with over-permissioned or orphaned machine accounts.
Data Access and Contextual Security
SailPoint extends identity security into the data layer through SailPoint Data Access Security. Data Access Security is described as providing visibility into who has access to what data, how that access is used, and whether it aligns with policy. The company highlights that Data Access Security enables data certification for both users and agents, leveraging SailPoint’s identity context. Integrations, such as one with Snowflake, are described as extending Data Access Security to structured data and providing centralized identity context across human, machine, and AI agent access to data.
SailPoint also offers Observability & Insights, which is described as providing interactive, graph-based intelligence that maps identity relationships and access paths. This capability is intended to help organizations visualize human and non-human identities, their entitlements, and access relationships, enabling adoption of least-privilege policies, remediation of inconsistencies, and reduction of risk through better identity hygiene.
Connectivity and Integrations
SailPoint places emphasis on connectivity across enterprise systems. The company describes enhancements to SailPoint Connectivity, including expanded SAP GRC Firefighter access, enhanced virtual appliance capabilities, and integrations with tools such as BeyondTrust, MacOS password reset, and JDBC for low-code provisioning. These connectivity features are presented as supporting application visibility, compliance, and deep governance across business-critical applications.
SailPoint has also announced integrations between the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud and the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. These integrations are described as enabling shared data and automated workflows across identity and security systems. Examples include applying CrowdStrike identity risk insights within SailPoint to inform risk-based access decisions, ingesting SailPoint identity data into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM to correlate identity events with threat activity, and using Falcon Fusion SOAR to trigger SailPoint remediation actions such as disabling accounts or revoking access.
Flexible Consumption and Pricing Model
To support different stages of identity security adoption, SailPoint has introduced SailPoint Navigators, described as a flexible pricing model that complements the Identity Security Cloud suite offerings (Standard, Business, and Business Plus). Navigators is presented as allowing organizations to purchase and consume advanced identity security capabilities with flexibility, aligning with evolving identity types and business priorities.
Within Navigators, SailPoint outlines options such as Navigator – Digital Identity Flex, which includes SailPoint Machine Identity Security and SailPoint Agent Identity Security; Navigator – Premier Flex, which provides flexibility to access different platform capabilities and exchange identity types; and Navigator – Modernization Flex, which is described as supporting IdentityIQ customers transitioning to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud while maintaining governance continuity.
Education and Skills Development
SailPoint also operates Identity University, described as an online learning platform for identity security training. First unveiled in 2017 and opened more broadly in 2023, Identity University provides role-based training paths, progress tracking, certifications, and badges. The platform includes hands-on labs in live-tenant environments, covering setup, administration, and extensibility of Identity Security Cloud, as well as courses and exams for administrators and engineers.
Identity University is presented as part of SailPoint’s response to cybersecurity skills demands, with features such as an updated catalog, improved navigation, e-commerce capabilities for purchasing courses and exams, and tools for partners and customers to manage enterprise training accounts and monitor training progress.
