SailPoint Unveils Harbor Pilot: AI-Powered Agents Transforming Identity Security
SailPoint, Inc., a leader in unified identity
security for enterprises, announced SailPoint Harbor Pilot, a set of AI agents
designed to help identity teams work smarter, respond faster and secure their
organizations more efficiently. Unveiled at the Gartner® Identity & Access
Management Summit in London, Harbor Pilot automates identity security tasks,
simplifies workflow creation, and provides AI-driven insights through
conversational prompts, reducing administrative burden and improving security
posture.
In addition, SailPoint also announced that the
company anticipates that it will soon extend identity security to manage and
secure AI agents as a new identity type that enterprises are struggling to
properly govern. As enterprises increasingly adopt AI-driven systems, AI agents
are an emerging category of digital identities that must be actively managed
and secured. According to a recent SailPoint survey, a significant majority of
respondents, 82%1, reported that their organizations are utilizing AI agents today.
Meeting a growing need for AI-powered
identity security
Security teams today face an expanding threat
landscape, increasing identity complexity and a shortage of skilled
professionals. However, many security teams are understaffed and remain bogged
down with manual workflows, fragmented systems, and complex identity data. The
challenge is further intensified by the sheer volume of information identity
teams handle, making it difficult to quickly locate the right information.
Harbor Pilot streamlines this process by enabling teams to search and retrieve
identity insights in real-time using conversational prompts—no complex queries
or manual searching required.
SailPoint Harbor Pilot serves as a
force multiplier, enabling security teams to:
Quickly access documentation: Security
professionals need rapid access to identity security documentation across
multiple products and platforms. Harbor Pilot Documentation Q&A provides
rapid, AI-driven responses, delivering relevant documentation with source links.
This significantly reduces time spent searching through technical resources,
allowing teams to resolve issues faster and enforce best practices more
effectively.
Design powerful workflows faster: Creating identity
security workflows is often complex, involving multiple triggers, actions, and
operators. The Harbor Pilot Workflows Generator simplifies this process by
allowing teams to describe their needs using conversational prompts, and AI
will generate optimized workflows with recommendations. This feature helps
teams save time, minimize errors, and align security operations with business
objectives.
These capabilities can reduce inefficiencies and
risk and allow teams to focus on high-impact security strategies rather than
repetitive administrative tasks. And this is just the beginning—SailPoint will
continue to innovate and expects to bring new Harbor Pilot AI agents to market,
helping enterprises address additional use cases and stay ahead in the evolving
identity security landscape.
“The traditional approach to identity governance –
relying on static policies and manual oversight – can’t keep up with today’s
enterprise complexity,” said Matt Mills, President, SailPoint. “To keep pace
with the rapidly evolving digital landscape, organizations need a modern,
AI-driven solution that can swiftly adapt and scale to handle a growing range
of identity types and the fast pace of digital change. Our goal is to empower
security teams to move from a reactive stance to one that is proactive and
predictive.”
This latest innovation builds on SailPoint’s long-standing investment in AI. Since 2017, SailPoint has embedded AI into its platform to enhance identity security through enhanced detection, improved decision making, increased operational efficiency, scalability and adaptability. The company’s most recent advancements include Application Onboarding and GenAI-powered entitlement descriptions, which further automate identity security tasks, improving business efficiency.
Expanding identity security to protect AI agents
According to Gartner, “Today’s AI models perform
tasks such as generating text, but these are “prompted” — the AI isn’t acting
by itself. That is about to change with agentic AI, or AI with agency. By 2028,
33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less
than 1% in 2024, enabling 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made
autonomously.” With AI-driven decision-making accelerating, enterprises must
ensure that AI agents adhere to the same security and compliance standards as
human and machine identities. But securing AI agents is just one piece of the
puzzle—organizations need a unified approach to managing all identity types.
SailPoint Atlas provides a single pane of glass to manage human, machine, and
AI identities, enhancing visibility, augmenting compliance, and reducing risk
with AI-driven automation. With Agent Identity Security, SailPoint extends its
leadership in identity security, helping enterprises proactively manage
emerging risks while scaling securely.
