## Executive Summary

Saviynt extends a mature identity-governance platform to govern AI agents, and the new line already carries named customer testimonials. Identity leaders at Hertz and The Auto Club Group back the agent line on the product page, though those are testimonials rather than detailed production case studies. The established business secures human and machine access for Fortune 500 and government customers under FedRAMP and ISO certifications, and KKR led a $700 million round in December 2025 at roughly a $3 billion valuation. The agent capability that discovers AI agents and MCP servers is reproducible engineering. Harder for a rival to match are the certified platform and the install base securing more than 100 million identities that already trust Saviynt to govern access.
