SailPoint has been officially named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide Integrated Solutions for Identity Security 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #US52037224, September 2025), a distinction that validates the company’s continued innovation, scalability, and leadership in delivering a unified identity security platform that meets the needs of the modern enterprise.

This recognition follows a year of rapid advancement for SailPoint, marked by significant product evolution, deepened AI integration, and a strategic shift toward a unified identity fabric that secures both human and non-human identities across cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments.

Understanding the IDC MarketScape Recognition

The IDC MarketScape provides one of the most respected and comprehensive evaluations of global technology vendors. It assesses each company’s current capabilities, future strategies, and market execution, offering IT buyers a trusted view of competitive positioning.

In this year’s assessment, SailPoint stood out for its deep governance heritage, AI-driven innovation, and strategic focus on identity intelligence and automation, cementing its leadership position in the evolving identity security ecosystem.

From Identity Platform to Identity Fabric

IDC highlighted SailPoint’s continued evolution, stating:

“SailPoint's Identity Graph marks the company's shift from a traditional identity platform to a broader identity fabric. It connects diverse identity types, workforce, contractors, and machines, with apps and data, enriched by roles, policies, and metadata. Its security fabric adds telemetry from networks and threat sources, enabling shared analytics and coordinated identity security response.”

This shift signals a broader movement in the identity industry, from isolated IAM solutions to fully integrated, context-aware identity fabrics that unify governance, intelligence, and security into one adaptive system.

AI-Driven Identity Governance and Risk Reduction

SailPoint’s approach to intelligent identity security emphasizes AI, machine learning, and automation to reduce manual workloads and improve responsiveness to emerging risks.

The IDC MarketScape noted:

“SailPoint's governance roots support the company's move toward AI-driven, policy-centric IAM. Its strong enterprise presence and expanding midmarket reach are bolstered by machine learning investments, enabling autonomous identity capabilities that reduce IT burden and improve risk responsiveness.”

This evolution toward autonomous identity management allows organizations to detect, analyze, and respond to identity threats in real time, strengthening their Zero Trust posture while minimizing operational overhead.

A Unified View of Identity and Access

As identity systems grow more complex, spanning employees, partners, applications, workloads, and AI agents, the ability to unify and visualize all identity relationships is critical.

The IDC MarketScape emphasized that SailPoint is “suited for organizations requiring a unified view of identity data, access controls, and identity risk posture.”
The platform’s integration with Security Operations Centers (SOCs) supports:

• Automated identity threat detection and response
• Real-time policy enforcement
• Orchestrated remediation workflows across cloud and on-premises systems

This unified model delivers end-to-end identity visibility, empowering enterprises to manage access, enforce policies, and contain risks at scale.

Integration, Automation, and the Cloud-First Imperative

With the average enterprise managing over 100 SaaS applications, identity sprawl and configuration drift are growing threats. SailPoint’s platform addresses this challenge through a vast integration library and automation capabilities that simplify complexity across multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructures.

The IDC MarketScape also underscored the growing importance of cloud-first identity platforms, advising buyers to:

“Prioritize cloud-first solutions or vendors continuously investing in migration options from self-hosted solutions. Cloud-first solutions are quicker to deploy, receive more frequent updates, and can more easily benefit from intelligence resources.”

SailPoint’s cloud-first architecture allows organizations to scale identity governance, accelerate threat detection, and continuously evolve with new attack patterns, ensuring resilience in an AI-driven, identity-centric world.

Shaping the Future of Identity Security

As AI, automation, and non-human identities reshape the digital enterprise, identity has become the control plane of security.
SailPoint’s recognition as a Leader by IDC validates its commitment to building intelligent, adaptive identity solutions that secure people, processes, and machines alike.

“We’re honored by this recognition,” the company shared. “Together with our employees, partners, and customers, we’re shaping the future of identity security, building smarter, unified solutions that protect what matters most.”
