In the new age of AI, the most dangerous question a leader can be asked is also the simplest: “Do you know where all your agents are?”

For most, the honest answer is no.

The explosion of AI has created a sprawling landscape of non-human identities. We’re not just talking about sanctioned AI models; we’re talking about thousands of "shadow agents" operating invisibly in browsers, on endpoints, and within your SaaS applications.

Each one is an identity with access. Each one is a blind spot.

You cannot govern what you cannot see. To secure AI innovation, you must first achieve full-spectrum visibility. This is the foundational pillar of the SailPoint Agentic Fabric.

Discovery & unified visibility

Our approach is built on providing a single source of truth for every agent in your ecosystem.

  • Discover everything, everywhere: We provide a single registry that inventories every agent, no matter where it operates. From major AI platforms to browser-based discoveries to endpoint scripts. Through automated, continuous discovery, your inventory is never out of date.
  • Turn your list into a map: A list of agents isn't enough. Our unified SailPoint Identity Graph provides the map. It creates a rich, contextual view that connects every human owner to their AI agents, the machine identities they use, their entitlements, and the sensitive data they can access.
  • Uncover the real risk: By understanding the full human-to-AI-agent-to-data access path, you can finally see where your most sensitive data is at risk and proactively close security gaps before they are exploited.

Your first step to visibility: See the problem for yourself

Understanding the need for visibility is one thing; seeing the scale of the problem in your own environment is another. The biggest challenge is often knowing where to even begin.

That’s why we are making it easy to take the first step.

We are excited to introduce the free SailPoint Discovery Tool, available for existing customers, IIQ users, and new prospects alike. This lightweight, easy-to-deploy tool is designed to provide immediate value by giving you a real-time inventory of your agent and application landscape. In days, not months, you can:

  • Quantify your risk: Get an immediate count of the non-human and AI agent identities operating across your enterprise.
  • Uncover shadow AI: Identify agents and services that are currently invisible to your IT and security teams.
  • Build the business case: Use the data from the discovery tool to have a fact-based conversation with your leadership about the need for a comprehensive agentic security strategy.

From discovery to action

Achieving full-spectrum visibility transforms the unknown into the known. It provides the foundational intelligence required for effective governance and real-time threat response. The free discovery tool is your starting point on that journey.
