The AI Velocity Paradox: Why Security Is Decades Behind AI Ambition
SailPoint says most firms still govern AI agents with human-speed identity controls.
A SailPoint partner report, Horizons of Identity Security, argues enterprises are deploying autonomous AI agents while identity programs remain built for human users. It says 60% of organizations are still in the two earliest maturity stages, and 54% are at the lowest level for agent identities, compared with 23% for human identities. The report says periodic human access reviews do not fit identities that may last seconds, and that advanced programs replace standing privileges with continuous automated enforcement.
- Combined 60% of organizations remain in Horizon 1 or Horizon 2.
- 54% are at the lowest maturity for AI agent identities.
- Human identity at Horizon 1 fell from 45% to 23% in five years.
- Nearly half claim to balance speed and security without enforcement capability.
