Shares of SailPoint (NASDAQ:SAIL) climbed 4.7% on Monday after the company revealed a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services.
Through the partnership, SailPoint will serve as a preferred identity governance provider for agentic AI applications built on AWS. The companies plan to create a unified governance framework designed to manage both human and machine identities interacting with AWS platforms.
The expanded collaboration builds on the companies’ existing relationship and aims to help organizations manage identity security, enforce access controls and maintain oversight as AI-driven workloads expand within AWS environments. The initiative focuses on addressing the growing challenges created by AI agents that increasingly act on behalf of users, applications and automated systems.
“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 and Founder of SailPoint. “Our collaboration with AWS is about providing that foundation. 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 partnership will emphasize full lifecycle governance for all identities, implementation of continuous least-privilege access, creation of a unified identity graph for visibility and automated policy enforcement.
SailPoint’s technology will integrate with AWS AgentCore, allowing the platform to detect AI agents and manage them as identities within the SailPoint system.
As part of the agreement, SailPoint’s offerings—including SailPoint Machine Identity Security and SailPoint Agent Identity Security—are now available through the AWS Marketplace. The two companies also plan to coordinate sales and marketing initiatives to accelerate adoption among customers.
