Active Threat Protection
Protect Every Agent Action, Everywhere
Actively defend your AI landscape with real-time threat detection, continuous authorisation and advanced prompt security for every agent.
The AI Threat Surface
From Policy to Active Defence
Unmonitored AI agents introduce an explosive new threat surface. From prompt injections to unauthorised commands and behavioural drift, the risks are constant. SailPoint shifts you from passive governance to active, real-time defence, neutralising threats as they emerge.
Before SailPoint:
AI agents vulnerable to prompt injections and malicious queries.
No visibility into anomalous agent behaviour or real-time threats.
Static, easily exploitable permissions for critical agent actions.
Slow, manual incident response to agent-based security events.
After SailPoint:
Real-time scanning and security for prompts and responses.
Continuous behavioural monitoring and threat detection for all non-human identities.
Just-in-time (JIT) access and continuous authorisation for agent tasks.
Automated, policy-based response and remediation integrated with your SOC.

Advanced Threat Protection
Built for Enterprise-Grade AI Defence
Real-Time Behavioural Analytics
Profile every agent's typical behaviour to instantly detect anomalous activity, unusual access patterns, or deviations from established norms that could indicate an active threat.
Continuous, Zero-Trust Authorisation
Move beyond one-time approvals. Enforce continuous authorisation checks for every agent action, ensuring permissions are valid and contextual at the precise moment of request.
Advanced Prompt Injection Defence
Secure your AI and LLMs at the input layer. Automatically scan, detect, and neutralise malicious prompts, jailbreak attempts, and other query-based attacks in real time.
Dynamic Risk-Based Response
Automatically adapt your security posture. Leverage dynamic risk scores based on real-time signals to trigger automated actions, like stepping up authentication or quarantining a high-risk agent.
Seamless SOC & SIEM Integration
Pipe rich, contextualised alerts for non-human threats directly into your existing security ecosystem. Empower your SOC with the visibility needed for rapid investigation and response.
Just-in-Time (JIT) Privileged Access
Eliminate standing privileges for agents. Automatically grant and revoke access to critical systems on-demand for specific tasks, dramatically reducing the window for potential compromise.
Automated Threat Remediation
Move from detection to resolution in seconds. Use policy-based automation to instantly respond to threats by terminating suspicious sessions, revoking access, or isolating an agent.
Unified Threat Visibility
Gain a single, correlated view of threats across your entire identity landscape. Connect the dots between suspicious human user behaviour and anomalous agent activity to see the full picture.

Common questions about Identity Security Fabric
How does SailPoint detect threats from AI agents in real-time?
SailPoint establishes a baseline of normal behaviour for each non-human identity. Using behavioural monitoring (NHIDR), it continuously observes agent activity, and any deviation from this baseline—such as an agent accessing data at an unusual time, using a new command or connecting from an unknown location—is instantly flagged as a potential threat.
How do you protect against attacks like prompt injection?
Our prompt & response security provides real-time scanning of all inputs and outputs. It inspects prompts for malicious patterns associated with injection attacks or jailbreaking before they reach the model. Similarly, it monitors agent responses to prevent sensitive data exfiltration, ensuring the agent doesn't reveal information it shouldn't.
What does "continuous authorisation" or Just-in-Time (JIT) access mean for an agent?
It means agents operate with zero standing privileges. Instead of having continuous access to a system, an agent is granted highly specific, time-bound permissions for a particular task, exactly when it's needed. With continuous authorisation, every single action is re-verified against policy, ensuring that even if an agent is compromised, its ability to cause damage is severely limited.
What happens when a threat is detected? Is it just an alert?
It's much more than just an alert. Based on pre-defined policies, SailPoint can trigger an immediate and automated response. This could range from revoking the agent's access and quarantining it, to forcing a step-up authentication, or initiating a remediation workflow in your SOC. The goal is to move from detection to resolution in seconds.
How is the "risk score" for an agent calculated and what is it used for?
The risk score is dynamic and calculated continuously. It combines an agent's baseline entitlements with real-time signals, such as anomalous behaviour, recent high-privilege access, or the sensitivity of data it's interacting with. This score provides a true, up-to-the-minute understanding of an agent's risk level, which can then be used to automate security policies and prioritise analyst attention.
How does this integrate with our existing security tools like a SIEM or SOAR?
SailPoint is designed to enhance your existing security ecosystem, not replace it. Our platform provides a rich stream of contextualised threat data specifically for non-human identities, which can be fed directly into your SIEM (like Splunk or Sentinel) via standard APIs. This empowers your SOC with deeper visibility, allowing them to correlate agent threats with other security events and trigger automated playbooks in your SOAR platform.
How do you secure AI agents that interact directly with the Command Line Interface (CLI)?
CLI access is one of the most powerful—and vulnerable—interfaces. SailPoint monitors CLI usage by all non-human identities in real time to detect anomalous or malicious commands. If an agent attempts an unauthorised action outside its behavioural baseline, our system automatically blocks the command and triggers instant remediation workflows before any damage can occur.
Does implementing continuous authorisation and real-time threat detection slow down our AI operations?
No, our architecture is designed to secure AI at machine speed. By utilising lightweight, continuous authorisation checks and just-in-time (JIT) provisioning (including MCP JIT), SailPoint secures agent interactions seamlessly in the background. This active defence approach accelerates AI adoption by giving your teams the confidence to deploy agents safely without creating security bottlenecks.
