Saviynt unveils 12-city AI identity security roadshow

Saviynt has announced a 12-city UNLOCK 2026 roadshow focused on AI identity security, with Amazon Web Services as global sponsor.

The series will bring together security executives, identity practitioners, customers, partners and industry experts in cities across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.

The programme will examine how organisations can secure human, non-human and AI identities as artificial intelligence takes on a larger role in business. Discussions will also cover the governance of AI agents and the modernisation of identity programmes.

The roadshow starts in London and continues through Frankfurt, the Netherlands, Stockholm, Chicago, Singapore, Espoo near Helsinki, Dallas, Tokyo, Sydney, Paris and New Delhi.

The announcement comes as vendors and corporate security teams pay closer attention to the access rights granted to AI systems. Saviynt cited industry research showing that 70% of organisations say AI systems have more access than a human in the same role would receive.

That trend has raised questions about how companies should control permissions for software agents, automated systems and machine identities alongside traditional user accounts. Identity security, once centred largely on employee and contractor access, is expanding to include systems that can make decisions or act independently within corporate environments.

Saviynt linked the roadshow to its broader push into AI-focused security. It recently introduced Zuma, which it describes as an AI identity security platform.

According to Saviynt, attendees will hear keynote presentations, customer case studies and industry discussions. The agenda will also include product demonstrations, roundtables, networking sessions and meetings with company executives and specialists.

AI access

Saviynt framed the issue as a shift in how enterprises think about identity controls. Rather than focusing only on access management, organisations are now being asked to secure what it called intelligence inside the enterprise.

That reflects a broader cyber security debate over how AI tools should be governed when they can access data, trigger workflows and interact with other systems. As companies deploy more AI-driven software, the number of identities requiring oversight can increase sharply, especially where bots, service accounts and autonomous agents are involved.

Sachin Nayyar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Saviynt, said the company had seen growing demand from organisations reassessing identity practices in response to AI adoption.

"AI is fundamentally changing who or what needs access inside the enterprise. This is a defining moment for identity security. Following the launch of Zuma, we have seen firsthand how rapidly organizations are rethinking identity in the age of AI, both as an Agentic Identity Platform and Identity Security for AI. UNLOCK gives us an opportunity to hear directly from the enterprises navigating this change, and those conversations will continue to inspire how we innovate and help our customers securely unlock AI's full potential," said Sachin Nayyar, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Saviynt.

Global push

The multi-city format suggests Saviynt is trying to broaden its reach with customers and partners across several regions at once. London, Frankfurt, Paris and the Nordic stop in Espoo point to a significant focus on Europe, while Chicago and Dallas represent the US leg and Singapore, Tokyo, Sydney and New Delhi cover major Asia-Pacific markets.

AWS is backing the series as global sponsor, placing one of the largest cloud providers alongside a specialist identity security company as businesses examine the security implications of AI roll-outs. Saviynt said the sponsorship would support discussions on secure AI adoption, governance and trust.

Attendance will be free for customers, prospective customers and partners. Sessions are intended to focus on practical approaches to securing AI-driven operations and managing identities across human users, software-based entities and AI systems.

The roadshow is another sign that identity management is becoming a more prominent part of the conversation around enterprise AI. As businesses move from experimentation to wider deployment, the question of who or what should get access to systems and data is becoming harder to separate from the question of how AI itself is controlled.

Saviynt said the roadshow will explore practical strategies for governing every human, non-human and AI identity, and for modernising identity security as enterprise AI adoption grows.
