SailPoint announces new integration with the Claude Compliance API to provide enterprise-grade Identity Security for AI platforms.

SailPoint announces new integration with the Claude Compliance API to provide enterprise-grade Identity Security for AI platforms. SailPoint | Published 22 May 2026 SailPoint's new Claude Compliance API connector, delivers essential governance and visibility over Claude Enterprise access and usage SailPoint, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAIL), a leader in enterprise identity security, today announced a new integration with the Claude Compliance API. The new SailPoint connector with the Claude Compliance API provides Claude Enterprise organisations with the essential visibility and governance needed to secure access to and usage of AI platforms across the enterprise. As enterprises increasingly adopt powerful AI tools like Claude to accelerate business innovation, they face a new frontier of security challenges. This integration addresses the critical need for robust identity security over the expanding AI landscape. The SailPoint Claude Compliance API connector extends SailPoint's enterprise-grade identity security to Anthropic's Claude Enterprise, enabling organisations to confidently adopt AI while maintaining stringent security and compliance standards. "While the industry discusses the future of AI security, SailPoint is delivering it today. As Anthropic makes its Compliance API available, SailPoint is building a meaningful, governance-focused integration," said Chandra Gnanasambandam, EVP of Product and Chief Technology Officer, SailPoint. "This gives our customers the ability to not just monitor, but truly govern their AI workforce from day one, treating AI platform access with the same rigor and contextual understanding as they would for a critical application or datastore." The new integration reinforces SailPoint's commitment to securing the modern enterprise by extending identity security to the rapidly growing landscape of AI tools. By integrating Claude Enterprise into the SailPoint Identity Security Cloud, SailPoint enables enterprises to: * Gain unified visibility: Centrally manage all Claude Enterprise users, groups, group members, and roles. This ensures consistent governance policies across your entire digital ecosystem. * Govern non-human identities: Discover and govern Claude AI agents as part of SailPoint's single agent registry across your organisations' ecosystem, a critical step in securing the automated workforce of the future. * Apply adaptive identity: Secure access across your agent ecosystem, including Claude agents, from a central control point by leveraging our AI-powered platform to understand the context of access; who is accessing what, when, and why. This real-time, risk-adaptive approach extends to Claude Enterprise, delivering deeper security insights. The definition of an identity continues to expand beyond human users to include non-human entities like machines, APIs, workloads, and now, AI agents. This proliferation of AI tools in the enterprise has created a risk of "Shadow AI," where usage is ungoverned and invisible to IT and security teams. The SailPoint integration with the Claude Compliance API directly addresses this risk, providing the necessary controls to manage and secure these non-human identities and giving Claude Enterprise organisations the confidence to innovate securely.

Anthropic to pay SpaceX $45B for Claude AI computing capacity over three years

Anthropic has agreed to pay SpaceX nearly $45 billion over three years for computing resources to support its Claude AI software, according to SpaceX's initial public offering paperwork. The deal involves monthly payments of $1.25 billion through May 2029, with reduced fees during the initial ramp-up period. The arrangement grants Anthropic access to over 300 megawatts of computing capacity from SpaceX's Colossus 1 data centre in Memphis, Tennessee, which houses more than 220,000 Nvidia GPUs. Anthropic has expanded the agreement to include Colossus 2, with plans to scale up Nvidia GB200 capacity throughout June. The partnership represents a significant boost for SpaceX, whose annual revenue currently sits around $18 billion. SpaceX indicated it expects to enter additional similar services contracts leveraging unused compute capacity.

Mozilla: Anthropic's Mythos AI model finds 271 zero-day bugs in Firefox 150

Mozilla has discovered 271 security vulnerabilities in Firefox 150 using early access to Anthropic's Mythos Preview AI model. The findings represent a significant increase from the 22 bugs detected by Anthropic's Opus 4.6 model in Firefox 148 last month. Firefox CTO Bobby Holley said Mythos is "every bit as capable" as the world's best security researchers, whilst eliminating the need to "concentrate many months of costly human effort to find a single bug". He believes AI tools like Mythos tilt the cybersecurity balance towards defenders by making vulnerability discovery cheaper. Anthropic released Mythos Preview to a limited group of industry partners earlier this month. Mozilla CTO Raffi Krikorian argues such tools are particularly crucial for open source projects, which often rely on insufficient volunteer maintenance for security.

Anthropic's Mythos AI sparks fear and hope over cybersecurity threats to global finance

Anthropic's new AI model Mythos has sparked concern amongst policymakers at International Monetary Fund meetings over its potential to accelerate sophisticated cyberattacks on the global financial system. However, its developers argue the technology could provide banks with their strongest defence yet. What distinguishes Mythos is its ability to chain multiple security weaknesses into coordinated attacks, effectively automating complex cyber intrusions. This capability could significantly expand the pool of potential attackers in the near term. The model's creators emphasise a longer-term benefit: the same technology could enable banks to detect and patch vulnerabilities faster than ever, potentially shifting the balance towards defenders if widely adopted. The dual-use nature of Mythos has created both panic and optimism in boardrooms and governments regarding global financial system security.

Indian fintechs push Anthropic for early access to 'dangerous' Mythos AI model

Indian fintech companies including One97 Communications, Razorpay Software and Pine Labs are pushing Anthropic for early access to Mythos, the AI model that has raised global concerns about cyberattack risks. The firms want to test Mythos on their own systems to detect vulnerabilities following Anthropic's announcement of a limited rollout. The San Francisco-based AI developer considers the model too dangerous for wider release but major Indian financial technology companies are seeking early access to assess potential security threats to their platforms.
