Saviynt tops USD $300 million ARR & launches Zuma AI

Saviynt has surpassed USD $300 million in annual recurring revenue and launched its Zuma AI identity security platform. New customer acquisitions grew by more than 80%.

The announcement combines a financial milestone with a product launch aimed at organisations managing growing numbers of AI agents and other non-human identities. Bookings rose by more than 80%, and customer retention reached 96%.

Identity security vendors are increasingly focusing on the spread of software agents, large language models and automated applications inside companies. That shift has created a new market around governing non-human identities, as security teams try to track what these systems can access, who is responsible for them and how their actions are monitored.

Saviynt said Zuma was developed in response to demand from large organisations adopting AI tools across multiple business functions. The platform is designed to discover AI agents and non-human identities, apply access controls during operation, and create governance processes around ownership, lifecycle management and reviews.

AI oversight

Saviynt framed the issue as a gap in many existing identity and cyber security tools. Businesses are struggling to answer basic questions about where AI agents are deployed, who created them, what they are doing, who oversees them and what data or applications they can access.

Zuma is organised into three parts. Zuma Insights is designed to identify AI agents, large language models, AI-based applications and other non-human identities across an organisation, while showing ownership, access patterns and lifecycle changes. Zuma Access checks intent, context, permissions and risk at runtime before an AI agent carries out a task. Zuma Governance assigns ownership, applies policy controls, supports access reviews and creates audit records.

Those functions place the product in a fast-growing part of the cyber security market, where vendors are adapting identity tools built for employees and contractors to software systems that can act autonomously. The challenge for customers is that AI agents do not fit neatly into established processes for access management, approval chains and periodic reviews.

"AI is fundamentally changing the identity security equation," said Sachin Nayyar, Chief Executive Officer, 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. Saviynt's momentum reflects the urgency we are seeing from customers around the world, and Zuma represents a major step forward in helping them embrace AI with confidence and control."

Saviynt cited customer demand as a driver behind the product, saying organisations want more direct oversight of AI systems as they move from limited pilots to broader operational use.

"Like many large enterprises, we are looking at how to safely scale AI across the business without losing visibility or control," said Sarita Dsouza, IAM Leader, Cytiva, a Danaher company. "The challenge is that AI agents and non-human identities don't 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."

Growth push

Crossing USD $300 million in annual recurring revenue marks a notable stage for Saviynt as competition intensifies in identity security. The sector has drawn sustained interest from investors and corporate buyers as companies respond to tighter security requirements, cloud adoption and the proliferation of machine identities.

Saviynt did not provide a breakdown of how much of its recent growth came from existing products versus demand tied specifically to AI identity concerns. Even so, it linked its financial performance to broader customer efforts to modernise identity systems as AI use expands.

The emphasis on customer retention also suggests Saviynt is seeking to show stability as it broadens its platform. A 96% retention rate indicates existing clients are largely staying with the business as it introduces new products for emerging security issues.

The launch comes as many security teams reassess whether conventional governance tools can handle autonomous software systems that create requests, use data and interact with applications without direct human action at every step. That has pushed identity management from a back-office control function into a more central role in AI deployment decisions.

For vendors such as Saviynt, the commercial opportunity lies in convincing customers that AI systems should be treated as identities in their own right, with assigned ownership, defined permissions and continuous oversight. Saviynt said Zuma was built as a single control plane to meet that need.

"Customers are telling us they need more than another dashboard," said Nayyar. "They need a control plane that can help them see every AI and non-human identity, govern it with accountability, and protect the business in real time. That is the problem Zuma was built to solve."
