SailPoint Introduces: Agent Identity Security

Why This Matters

As AI agents become integral members of the workforce, organizations need a way to govern and secure them just like human identities.
Agent Identity Security helps enterprises:

• Discover, secure, and govern AI agents under one unified control plane
• Assign ownership and ensure accountability for every agent
• Prevent over-permissioning, misalignment, and regulatory exposure

What Has Changed

Agent Identity Security extends SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud to include AI agents alongside human users.
Key capabilities include:

• AI Agent Aggregation & Identity Creation – Connect directly to AWS, Azure, and GCP to onboard AI agents with enriched identity context
• Ownership & Succession Planning – Assign human owners to agents and maintain continuous oversight
• Certification & Review – Recertify agent access regularly and revoke inappropriate permissions
• Tool Governance – Apply consistent policies to agent service accounts from creation through retirement
• Audit & Traceability – Maintain full audit trails and certification records for compliance and investigations

Available for: Business and Business+ customers as an add-on capability

CyberArk: Database discovery and automated onboarding

We’re excited to announce a new capability in our discovery SaaS, which extends support to databases. This enhancement enables teams to seamlessly uncover, secure, and onboard database accounts with greater efficiency. Security teams can now accelerate onboarding at scale, reduce manual effort, and ensure database credentials are continuously rotated and tightly controlled.

Key highlights:

• Targeted scanning: Run discovery scans using a CSV list of targets containing access details.
• Dynamic credential utilization: The scan automatically fetches relevant vaulted credentials at runtime, based on target data.
• Centralized discovery flow: Accounts identified during scans are routed into the Discovered Accounts area, making it simple to review and vault them together with other discoveries.
• Automated remediation rules: Define onboarding rules to automatically vault and manage discovered accounts.
• End-to-end coverage: From discovery → onboarding → rotation and access services, database accounts are fully managed in one streamlined workflow.

Supported databases:

• MS SQL Server
• Oracle
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL

SailPoint: MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server update

SailPoint has just introduced the MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, and this could be a game changer for how we handle access requests. In short, the MCP Server acts as a standardised bridge between AI applications and SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud (ISC). Instead of needing heavy custom integration or multiple request centers, it gives you a ready-made interface to connect AI tools directly into SailPoint. That means access requests can finally become as simple as asking an assistant in plain language, without dropping enterprise security standards.
