SailPoint’s AI Remediation to empower enterprises 

SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in unified identity security for enterprises, said the launch of SailPoint Shadow AI Remediation will empower enterprises in mitigating security and compliance risks associated with the explosive growth of artificial intelligence.

Chandra Gnanasambadam, EVP of Product and Chief Technology Officer at SailPoint, said in a statement that as employees increasingly turn to AI platforms, its “Shadow AI” introduces a critical challenge for enterprises: creating a significant blind spot and loss of control for security leaders over how employees interact with these platforms. 

SailPoint Shadow AI Remediation addresses this by providing real-time visibility into how employees use these tools, including monitoring document uploads and interaction frequency. This capability is crucial in an environment where, according to a report that we recently published, 80% of organizations report their AI agents have performed unintended actions, such as accessing or sharing inappropriate data.

“Many vendors are trying to solve the Shadow AI problem with isolated browser or endpoint tools, but that misses the bigger picture. This is fundamentally an identity challenge,” said Gnanasambadam. 

“We believe controlling AI usage is best achieved through a platform-centric approach that unifies identity, data, and security intelligence in real-time. Our real-time AI governance and security framework is built on this principle. By linking human and non-human identities, we provide the context needed to not just see Shadow AI, but to govern it effectively. Shadow AI delivers robust real-time visibility, proactive remediation, and seamless deployment, all deeply integrated with the SailPoint Platform.”

The release of Shadow AI Remediation is an important milestone for SailPoint’s comprehensive real-time AI governance and security framework. This framework unifies Agent Identity Security, Machine Identity Security, Data Access Security, and now Shadow AI Remediation to provide a holistic approach to securing AI.
