SailPoint Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIL) and Amazon Web Services announced a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement to develop identity governance solutions for AI agents. The partnership establishes SailPoint as a preferred identity governance solution for AI builds on AWS.

The collaboration focuses on creating a unified governance layer to manage human and non-human identities that interact with AWS services. As AI agents increasingly operate autonomously, organizations face new security challenges in managing these digital identities.

"The proliferation of AI agents is creating a new class of non-human identities, and each one represents a new attack surface," said Mark McClain, CEO of SailPoint. "By building a unified identity plane, we believe we will give our joint customers the visibility and control they need to manage the complexity of an AI-driven ecosystem."

The agreement includes plans for complete lifecycle governance for all identities, continuous least privilege access enforcement, and automated policy implementation. SailPoint will integrate with AWS AgentCore through Bedrock AgentCore by discovering AI agents and governing them within SailPoint's platform.

Key capabilities will include human-agent attribution, lifecycle governance, access reviews, and permission management. The companies plan to enable customers to use SailPoint to provision accounts for AgentCore agents and manage access requests.

As part of the strategic agreement, SailPoint's solutions including Machine Identity Security and Agent Identity Security are now available for purchase in AWS Marketplace. The partnership aims to create new market routes and accelerate customer adoption of modern identity platforms.

The collaboration builds on an existing relationship between the two companies and represents expanded technical and commercial alignment as organizations adopt AI-driven architectures.
