Saviynt has surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue and launched Zuma, a dedicated platform for securing AI agents and non-human identities. The company also reported more than 80% growth in bookings and a 96% customer retention rate.
Announced on July 28, 2026, the dual update reflects accelerating enterprise demand for identity controls that go beyond human users. As organizations deploy AI agents, large language models and autonomous applications, conventional identity and access management tools are struggling to keep up with machine-speed activity and the rapid spread of non-human identities.
“AI is fundamentally changing the identity security equation,” said Sachin Nayyar, CEO of Saviynt. “Enterprises are no longer securing only human users. They are now responsible for AI agents and non-human identities that can decide and access systems at machine speed.”
Inside Zuma
Zuma is built as a unified control plane with three main layers:
Zuma Insights continuously discovers AI agents, LLMs, AI applications and other non-human identities, mapping ownership, access patterns, lifecycle changes and associated risk.
Zuma Access evaluates agent intent, context, permissions and risk at runtime, authorizing only the actions required for a specific task and aiming to block privilege misuse before it occurs.
Zuma Governance assigns clear ownership, enforces lifecycle controls and policies, supports access reviews and generates audit-ready evidence so AI identities are held to defined accountability standards.
The platform is designed to answer the practical questions security teams face as AI scales: where agents exist, who created them, what they are doing, who oversees them, and what data or applications they can reach.
Sarita Dsouza, IAM Leader at Cytiva (a Danaher company), said AI agents and non-human identities do not fit neatly into legacy identity processes. “Saviynt is bringing the right pieces together – discovery, ownership, runtime controls, and governance, in a way that maps to how security teams actually need to manage this risk.”
Broader Momentum
Saviynt’s financial progress follows a $700 million funding round at an approximate $3 billion valuation in late 2025, led by KKR. The latest ARR milestone and product launch position the company as a specialist in identity security for the AI era, a layer many enterprises now view as foundational rather than optional.
Legacy identity systems were built for human users and relatively static access patterns. AI agents operate continuously, make autonomous decisions and interact with systems at speeds that traditional review cycles cannot match. Zuma attempts to close that gap by combining discovery, real-time authorization and governance in one platform.
Adoption will ultimately depend on how cleanly Zuma integrates with existing identity stacks, how accurately it surfaces shadow AI, and whether its runtime controls prove practical at enterprise scale. For now, the combination of strong growth metrics and a purpose-built AI identity offering signals that Saviynt is treating the rise of non-human identities as a core market opportunity rather than an incremental feature.
