SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a global leader in enterprise identity security, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) today announced a new multi-year strategic collaboration agreement (SCA). This agreement builds on their long-standing partnership and establishes SailPoint as a preferred identity governance solution for agentic AI deployments on AWS.

The collaboration aims to expand the existing SailPoint Agent Identity Security partnership and develop a unified governance layer to manage all human and non-human identities interacting with AWS services.

As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of users, applications, and systems, organizations face new challenges in identity management. Together, SailPoint and AWS plan to provide a unified governance framework that enforces access policies, maintains control, and scales securely alongside AI workloads in AWS environments.

“AI agents create a new class of non-human identities, each representing a potential attack surface,” said Mark McClain, CEO & Founder of SailPoint. “For AI to accelerate business securely, it must be built on a strong foundation of identity governance. Our collaboration with AWS will provide visibility and control across human and agentic identities, enabling customers to innovate boldly and securely.”

Real-World Impact
“By leveraging AI through SailPoint’s Identity Security Cloud on AWS, PACCAR has transformed identity management into a seamless, automated process,” said Michele Anne Schroeder, IAM Manager, PACCAR. “This integration enables compliance while scaling securely in an increasingly complex digital landscape.”

Keshav Narsipur, VP at AWS, added: “Agentic AI is unlocking new growth and innovation across industries. Customers need a trusted framework for security and governance, and this collaboration combines SailPoint’s identity expertise with AWS’s infrastructure, enabling confident deployment and scaling of AI agents.”

Unified Identity Security for AI

The partnership focuses on helping organizations consistently govern access across humans, machines, and AI agents. Key deliverables include:

  • Complete lifecycle governance: A single framework to manage the lifecycle of human, machine, and agent identities interacting with AWS.

  • Continuous least-privilege access: Automated governance using real-time usage data (via AWS CloudTrail) to ensure identities have only the access they need.

  • Unified identity graph: A 360-degree view of access relationships between workloads, services, and identities.

  • Automated policy enforcement: Security guardrails and workflows that revoke access based on changes in risk, role, or behavior, maintaining continuous protection.

SailPoint integrates with AWS AgentCore (Bedrock AgentCore), discovering AI agents and governing them as identities in a single interface. This enables human-agent attribution, lifecycle governance, access reviews, and automated policy enforcement. Upcoming capabilities will allow customers to provision accounts and request access on behalf of AgentCore agents.

Accelerating Adoption and Market Reach

The collaboration also expands routes to market, making SailPoint’s solutions—including SailPoint Machine Identity Security and SailPoint Agent Identity Security—available for purchase via AWS Marketplace. The combined sales and marketing efforts aim to showcase a deeply integrated identity governance solution for enterprises adopting AI at scale.
