✦ AI Summary

SalesPoint Technology Holdings unveiled new features for its Atlas-based identity security solution at Navigate 2026.

The key targets are Agentic Fabric (SAF) and Human Fabric (SHF), which support stronger AI agent security and continuous compliance.

It also unveiled Autonomous Agents and A-ISPM, presenting capabilities for runtime monitoring, threat blocking, and automatic privilege adjustment.

SalesPoint Technology Holdings held its annual flagship conference, Navigate 2026, and unveiled new features for SalesPoint's Atlas-based identity security solution. The core solutions covered in the announcement are Agentic Fabric, SAF, and Human Fabric, SHF.

The new features are designed to strengthen AI agent security and support visibility into all hidden AI tools. They also support continuous compliance across human and machine work, replace always-on access keys with temporary privileges, and shift identity security from static compliance checks to a real-time, automated defense system.

SalesPoint's report, "Key Trends and Strategies in Identity Security," said 79% of companies worldwide have deployed AI agents in live operations. By contrast, only 2% have built identity security tools dedicated to managing and protecting AI agents, it noted.

The report identified the outdated nature of static access-right reviews as a limitation for companies. It also said security status dashboards centered on risk identification are insufficient for solving problems. In particular, it said human, full-scale manual reviews are effectively impossible in AI agents' machine-speed MCP tool-calling environments.

Against that backdrop, SalesPoint announced a specialized group of AI agents, Autonomous Agents, aimed at governing and securing the agentic ecosystem.

SalesPoint said conventional security tools simply block agents when anomalies occur. By contrast, Autonomous Agents use identity information to distinguish normal intent from malicious activity. The company also said they stop threats without interrupting the work of productive agents.

In an Autonomous Agents environment, it is assumed that humans have difficulty manually handling security controls. Accordingly, the system provides functions that continuously monitor runtime activity, block threats in real time, and automatically adjust the level of privileges required. It also supports Zero Standing Privilege in machine-speed environments.

Matt Mills, president of SalesPoint, said the status of Autonomous Agents has changed, the experimental copilot stage is over, and they have now become a core execution layer of modern enterprises. He said progress should not be delayed out of fear of AI innovation, but uncontrolled access rights are unacceptable.

Mills said that after Zero Trust, a shift to autonomous identity is necessary. He added that this would allow organizations to effectively manage human-AI hybrid work environments, eliminate invisible risks, and innovate with high confidence.

Chandra Gnanasambandam, SalesPoint's chief product officer and CTO, said it is outdated for security administrators to individually review and approve the access rights of Autonomous Agents groups making 10,000 tool calls per second. He said the same approach is also impractical and explained that an autonomous machine defense system is needed for autonomous machine governance.

He emphasized that Autonomous Agents can be used to both block threats and maintain normal agent operations, while also managing human and nonhuman identities in real time. He also said that in an era approaching AGI, the effectiveness of always-on privileges is diminishing.

SalesPoint then unveiled autonomous identity security posture management, or A-ISPM, using real-time identity information from Atlas. It said A-ISPM is designed to continuously detect various account and privilege anomalies.

A-ISPM continuously detects long-unused accounts and identities whose offboarding is only partially complete. It also continuously detects ownerless access rights, shadow administrators, and excessive privilege holders hidden deep within access paths.

SalesPoint said A-ISPM supports direct remediation of issues according to each company's policies and standards. The response options include revoking access rights, deactivating identities, deactivating AI agents, and assigning owners. It said the response can range from one-click actions to fully automated policy enforcement.
