The AI Velocity Paradox in Identity Security
🔒 A new SailPoint report exposes a “velocity paradox”: enterprises are adopting autonomous AI agents at machine speed while their identity security remains stuck at human pace. The analysis shows a market stalled in early maturity—60% of organizations still in Horizon 1 or 2—and highlights a growing gap between improving human identity programs and lagging agent identity controls. The report argues organizations must shift from manual, periodic controls to continuous, automated, machine-speed policy enforcement to secure non-human identities effectively.
