90% of AI agents have access to sensitive corporate data, yet only 21% of organizations feel confident managing these security risks. With 80–90% of data breaches occurring through an identity lens, managing non-human identities and AI agents is the new frontier of cybersecurity. In this episode of ZKast, host Zeus Kerravala (ZK Research) sits down at Ai4 in Las Vegas with Matt Mills and Chandra Gnanasambandam from SailPoint. Together, they unpack the shift from "AI for identity" to "identity for AI," how to govern a converged human-plus-AI workforce, and how SailPoint's latest solutions—including their acquisition of Entro Security and the SailPoint Agentic Fabric—are tackling real-time non-human identity security. Key Discussion Points:00:00 – Introduction & Guest Backgrounds 03:09 – Managing the Converged Workforce (Humans + AI) 05:38 – "AI for Identity" vs. "Identity for AI" 07:20 – SailPoint’s Human Fabric and Agentic Fabric 08:34 – Real-Time Behavior Monitoring & Centralized Kill Switch 11:02 – Why SailPoint Acquired Entro Security 14:15 – Shift to Real-Time Zero Trust & Continuous Compliance 16:30 – Expanding the Security Ecosystem (SOC, SIM, & Gateways) 21:14 – CISO Advice: Partnering Wisely & Testing in Production @SailPointTechnologies @Ai4
