SailPoint unifies human, machine and AI agent identity security. August 4, 2026 SailPoint has launched a unified identity security offering designed to govern human users, machine accounts, and AI agents through a single platform. Announced at Black Hat USA 2026, the new SailPoint Identity Security solution combines the company's newly available Agentic Fabric with Human Fabric, an updated version of its Identity Security Cloud platform. Human Fabric brings continuous access monitoring and real-time identity context into SailPoint's workforce identity governance tools. The platform is designed to identify privilege creep, feed identity data into security operations workflows, and support just-in-time provisioning, which limits administrative access to the period required for a specific task. Agentic Fabric focuses on non-human identities, including automated accounts, AI agents, and Model Context Protocol servers. SailPoint said the platform uses endpoint and browser sensors to identify unmanaged agents, credentials, and machine activity. It also includes prompt filtering for sensitive data, automated ownership policies and a central control that can disable an agent when suspicious behavior is detected. The launch reflects the growing pressure on enterprises to manage identity across a workforce that now includes employees, service accounts, software bots, and AI systems. Bringing those identities into a common governance model could help security teams apply access policies more consistently, investigate identity-related threats faster and assign clear ownership as companies deploy more autonomous technology.

Grafana Labs gives every observability signal an intelligent optimization layer, completing Adaptive Telemetry suite with Adaptive Profiles GA. Published: 4 Aug 2026 Grafana Labs newsroom press releases Grafana Labs gives every observability signal an intelligent optimization layer, completing Adaptive Telemetry suite with Adaptive Profiles GA. With Grafana Labs' Adaptive Telemetry suite, customers including Mux, SailPoint, TeleTracking, and Auditboard have cut telemetry spend by 30-50% on average, redirecting savings into deeper observability coverage NEW YORK - August 4, 2026 - Grafana Labs, the company behind the open observability cloud, today announced the general availability of Adaptive Profiles in Grafana Cloud, completing the Adaptive Telemetry suite to span all four telemetry signals: metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. With Adaptive Profiles now GA, every layer of an organization's observability stack can automatically identify and retain high-value data while filtering out what doesn't matter, without manual tuning or engineering toil. Telemetry volumes are growing faster than the insight they generate, and AI is accelerating the problem. As organizations deploy AI agents and LLM-powered applications, every model call, tool invocation, and agentic workflow generates new telemetry that needs to be observed, traced, and profiled. According to Grafana Labs' 2026 Observability Survey, 57% of organizations are already implementing LLM observability in some capacity, and 65% cite cost as the top criteria for selecting observability tools. AI gives teams more to watch, which means the cost of watching everything is rising sharply. Most organizations are already collecting far more data than they ever query, alert on, or act upon - AI-generated telemetry is making that gap wider, faster. Grafana Labs built the Adaptive Telemetry suite to address this directly: not by asking teams to manually cull their data, but by continuously analyzing how telemetry is actually used and surfacing precise recommendations for what to keep, aggregate, or drop. "The fundamental problem with observability economics today is that cost scales with ingestion, not insight," said Steven Dungan, Staff Product Manager at Grafana Labs. "Adaptive Telemetry inverts that model. Every signal: metrics, logs, traces, and profiles, now has an intelligent layer that learns how data is used in practice, and then optimizes automatically. With Adaptive Profiles reaching GA, we've closed the loop on the full stack. Teams get more signal, less noise, and lower bills and they don't have to sacrifice one for another." Adaptive Profiles: Continuous profiling at scale, without runaway costs. Continuous profiling gives engineers deep insight into how applications consume CPU, memory, and other resources in production - but broad deployment across infrastructure has historically been cost-prohibitive. Adaptive Profiles changes this by dynamically adjusting the detail and frequency of data collection based on workload behavior. During normal operations, it collects at a cost-effective baseline. When anomalies or performance issues arise, it automatically increases resolution to ensure engineers have the data they need to investigate. For engineering teams that have struggled to justify fleet-wide profiling, Adaptive Profiles makes the economics work, delivering richer performance data where it matters, without requiring a fixed high-cost collection rate across every service. "Adaptive Profiles ensures that we can leverage Cloud Profiles without worrying about cost overruns," said Michael Beltz, VP, Cloud Operations at Upland Software. "The ability to see where code is slowing down, memory is being allocated, and where improvements are needed [with Cloud Profiles] is necessary for us to reduce infrastructure resources and improve the user experience." The complete suite: savings across every signal. Adaptive Profiles joins three generally available capabilities that have already delivered significant, measurable results across the Grafana Cloud customer base. Adaptive Metrics is now the most widely deployed component of the suite and has helped customers eliminate 28.5 billion active series, delivering an average 35% reduction in metrics costs. One customer, Mux, was able to cut its metrics volume by 60% and extended retention from 14 days to 13 months. "Adaptive Metrics is an amazing feature. It not only saves us hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but it's also a forcing function for us to look closely at our metrics to find additional opportunities for time series reduction and cardinality improvements," said Kyle Weaver, Staff Software Engineer at Mux. Adaptive Logs applies the same usage-based analysis to log data, identifying high-volume, low-value log patterns and generating recommendations for what can be safely dropped. Across Grafana Cloud, Adaptive Logs has eliminated 26 petabytes of log volume - data that teams were paying to store but never using. TeleTracking, an early adopter, has seen a 50% reduction in log volumes. "Adaptive Logs helps reduce noise, making it easier to spot valuable logs and ultimately saves us costs," said Andrew Qu, Software Engineer II at TeleTracking. Adaptive Traces, which reached general availability in October 2025, uses tail sampling to ensure that traces with errors, high latency, or other signals of interest are always retained, while noise from healthy, repetitive spans is filtered out. Across Grafana Cloud, Adaptive Traces has reduced trace data volume by an average of 82%. "Before Adaptive Traces, we had two bad options: send everything and blow our budget, or send so little we couldn't get meaningful insight," said Geoff Schultz, Manager, Infrastructure Engineering at Auditboard. "Now tracing is actually usable, we can dial sampling up or down as needed, keep costs in check, and still give teams the visibility they need." Across the full Adaptive Telemetry suite, organizations using multiple components see 30-50% reductions in total telemetry costs on average. About Grafana Labs.

SailPoint introduces new Cursor Enterprise connector to secure AI-driven software development. As autonomous background agents join human engineers in the codebase, SailPoint delivers a single, centralized registry to secure the modern software supply chain AUSTIN, TX - July 29, 2026 - SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in enterprise identity security, today announced the release of the SailPoint Cursor Enterprise connector. Designed to integrate with Cursor, a leading coding agent platform, this new connector enables organizations to securely govern both human software engineers and autonomous AI background agents from a single, unified control plane. As enterprises adopt AI to accelerate software development, engineering environments are expanding beyond human users alone. AI agents can now plan changes, run tests, and contribute code, creating new identity and access governance challenges for security and IT teams. This shift creates an entirely new class of identities that most security teams can't yet see, govern, or audit. Without centralized visibility, organizations confront a difficult choice: trust unmanaged AI tools with proprietary source code, or block them and slow the very productivity AI is meant to unlock. To help businesses innovate securely at the speed of AI, the SailPoint Cursor Enterprise connector gives security teams the power to see and govern every human and AI agent interacting with their codebase. By integrating AI-native development workspaces directly into SailPoint Atlas, organizations can more confidently unleash the productivity of AI-driven software development without compromising the security of their software supply chain, extending the governance model used for other business-critical systems to the AI-native developer environments. This connector will help SailPoint customers to ensure that as AI agents increasingly write, inspect, and modify code, they are bound by the same strict, least-privilege governance policies as human developers, eliminating critical security blind spots in the software supply chain. Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and Chief Technology Officer at SailPoint said: "AI agents are the newest members of your engineering team, but they are often operating in the dark, without the 'digital ID badges' and access rules we require of human developers. Our new Cursor connector changes that. We're giving security teams the power to see and secure every AI agent interacting with their codebase, so businesses can innovate securely at the speed of AI." Brian McCarthy, President, Global Revenue and Field Operations at Cursor said: "Just as every engineer needs the right permissions to commit code, every AI agent should have a governed identity. By partnering with SailPoint, Cursor is creating agent security options for our customers and ensuring that enterprises can confidently unleash the productivity of Cursor's agentic software development capabilities without compromising the security of their software supply chain." About SailPoint SailPoint (Nasdaq: SAIL) is defining the new era of adaptive identity security.
