Saviynt, a well-known industry leader in AI-driven identity security and governance, and Cyera, a highly sought-after AI security platform with incredible growth potential, have forged a strategic alliance to deliver an integrated solution to enterprise risk management. The move is aimed at removing the traditional distinction between identity and data security, thus offering a holistic view of enterprise risk in real-time.
The quick uptake of AI technologies is dramatically changing the way access is granted and controlled. AI agents, unlike traditional human identities, can access massive amounts of company data in a matter of seconds, and often through ways that old systems are not able to track. This new situation has revealed major gaps in visibility and governance. According to the industry, this is a very pressing issue as only a handful of companies know exactly how AI interacts with data, while most of them do not have proper access control policies for AI-driven identities.
As enterprises scale both human and machine identities, fragmented security tools are proving insufficient. Identity platforms typically focus on access permissions, while data security tools emphasize data sensitivity. Operating independently, they leave organizations without a unified view of who is accessing critical data and where vulnerabilities exist.

Through this partnership, Saviynt’s Identity Security Posture Management integrates with Cyera’s Data Security Posture Management to connect identity entitlements with real-time data classification. This unified framework empowers organizations to enforce least-privilege access policies at scale, reduce over-permissioned accounts, and proactively safeguard sensitive information.
“Identity and data security have always been treated as separate disciplines, but in today’s threat landscape, that separation is a liability, ” said Jeff Margolies, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Saviynt. “As human and AI-driven identities scale across the enterprise, security teams need context they’ve never had before. They don’t just need to know who or what has access, but also whether that access is appropriate given the sensitivity of the data involved. This integration delivers that clarity and control.”
“Security teams can’t govern access in a vacuum,” said Jason Clark, Chief Strategy Officer at Cyera. “Knowing who has access is only half the story. In the age of AI, where identities and agents interact with data at machine speed, understanding what data is at risk is critical. By bringing Cyera’s data intelligence into Saviynt’s identity security platform, we’re giving organizations the context they need to stop over-privileged access before it’s exploited, and turning security from a guessing game into a competitive advantage.”
This solution provides immediate and actionable visibility into enterprise data risk across all identity types. By correlating identity permissions with data sensitivity in cloud, SaaS, and hybrid environments, organizations can eliminate blind spots and make more informed decisions about access. Real-time context provides smarter enforcement of least privilege principles, and monitoring and policy-driven controls provide continuous compliance.
