SailPoint, Inc., a leader in enterprise identity security, is rolling out a series of new enhancements that extend the breadth and depth of SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, introducing new capabilities for SailPoint Non-Employee Risk Management and Machine Identity Security, along with offering a series of deep Connectivity updates.
“As digital ecosystems expand, enterprises must govern not only humans but also the rise of machine and agent identities—identities that often outpace the capabilities of legacy tools,” said Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of product and CTO, SailPoint. “These identities often remain undiscovered or under-governed, creating unmanaged privileges and security gaps. SailPoint is addressing these challenges with differentiated features across our portfolio, all designed to deliver automation, context and precision at scale.”
According to the company, at the heart of these enhancements is SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, built to deliver breadth and depth across all identities.
Covering every enterprise identity type—employees, non-employees, machines and agents—Identity Security Cloud combines precise lifecycle controls with intelligent automation to close critical gaps that legacy approaches leave behind, delivering adaptive identity that evolves with enterprise needs.
“We aren’t incrementally checking boxes,” said Gnanasambandam. “We are building momentum across our unified platform that gives enterprises a strategic advantage: the ability to move faster while staying secure."
SailPoint Non-Employee Risk Management ensures that today’s extended workforce is governed with equal rigor, now enhanced through integration with Microsoft Entra Verified ID. This integration adds the ability to leverage third-party verifiable credentials and biometric verification, enabling faster, high-assurance onboarding of non-employees.
Combined with bulk approvals, attribute synchronization and direct role provisioning, enterprises can govern third-party identities at the same speed and scale as employees. This reduces manual effort, accelerates time-to-value, and eliminates blind spots, the vendor said.
SailPoint Machine Identity Security is purpose-built to deliver clear discovery, classification, and ownership of machine accounts at enterprise scale. Crucially, it also enables organizations to certify machine identities by linking them to the humans they represent.
With the new multi-host classification, customers can define machine account rules once and apply them across hundreds of sources, streamlining setup and ensuring consistent discovery across complex environments.
Beyond discovery enhancements, Machine Identity Security is evolving to strengthen accountability and reduce risk. Organizations can assign multiple owners to machine identities and set up succession plans for ownership transitions, eliminating blind spots from orphaned accounts.
SailPoint Connectivity enhancements include expanded SAP GRC Firefighter access, enhanced Virtual Appliance (VA) capabilities that enable multiple products such as Data Access Security and Privilege Task Automation to run on a single cluster, and broader integrations with tools such as BeyondTrust, MacOS password reset, and JDBC for low-code provisioning.
“Identities multiply faster than ever before, and enterprises need visibility, control and agility to protect what matters most while moving at the pace of business,” said Matt Mills, president, SailPoint. “We’re reimagining identity security for the realities of the modern enterprise by unifying governance across every identity type to close the gaps that siloed, legacy approaches leave behind. In a world where identity drives both digital transformation and risk, SailPoint delivers the confidence enterprises need to thrive.”
